Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is the book on porcelain we have been waiting for. . . . A remarkable achievement."—Edmund de Waal, author of The Hare with Amber Eyes A sweeping cultural and economic history of porcelain, from the eighteenth century to the present Porcelain was invented in medieval China—but its secret recipe was first reproduced in Europe by an alchemist in the employ of the Saxon king Augustus the Strong. Saxony’s revered Meissen factory could not keep porcelain’s ingredients secret for long, however, and scores of Holy Roman princes quickly founded their own mercantile manufactories, soon to be rivaled by private entrepreneurs, eager to make not art but profits. As porcelain’s uses multiplied and its price plummeted, it lost much of its identity as aristocratic ornament, instead taking on a vast number of banal, yet even more culturally significant, roles. By the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, it became essential to bourgeois dining, and also acquired new functions in insulator tubes, shell casings, and teeth. Weaving together the experiences of entrepreneurs and artisans, state bureaucrats and female consumers, chemists and peddlers, Porcelain traces the remarkable story of “white gold” from its origins as a princely luxury item to its fate in Germany’s cataclysmic twentieth century. For three hundred years, porcelain firms have come and gone, but the industry itself, at least until very recently, has endured. After Augustus, porcelain became a quintessentially German commodity, integral to provincial pride, artisanal industrial production, and a familial sense of home. Telling the story of porcelain’s transformation from coveted luxury to household necessity and flea market staple, Porcelain offers a fascinating alternative history of art, business, taste, and consumption in Central Europe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of a Collection of Continental Porcelain: Lent and Described Many years ago I formed a collection of marked specimens of European porcelain, but from want of space I decided to confine my attention to English and Oriental examples, and I ceded to my friend the late Rev. Thomas Stani'forth, of Storrs, the continental specimens, which formed the nucleus of the remarkable collection which he brought together, now in a great measure dispersed. Other collectors of continental porcelain were Captain Reynolds, Mr. Octavius Morgan. Mr. Marryat, Mr. Loraine Baldwin, Mr. H. G. Bohn, Lady Charlotte Schreiber, Mr. Walker Joy, and others, all of whose gatherings have also been dispersed. Little by little a fresh collection grew up, partly derived from those above mentioned, and this is the one now exhibited. It will be readily seen that it is not composed to any great extent of the finest specimens of the Ceramic Art, but is chiefly documentary. There are none of the chefs d' uvre of Saxon porcelain, such as those exhibited at the Bethnal Green Museum by the Hon. W. F. Maasey-Mainwaring, nor the marvels of the Royal Factory at Sevres, well exemplified in the bequest of Mr. Jones to the South Kensington Museum. Still the collection has its merits, and every day such specimens are becoming rarer. The numerous German museums, established on the same lines as the South Kensington Museum, are absorbing marked specimens of their own and other fabrics, and German and French dealers are apt to carry off such examples as pass through the London market. Most of the continental fabrics are represented; perhaps the later French makers le-s well, as I have somewhat neglected the hard paste porcelain of France. I ought to add that in preparing this catalogue I have been very materially assisted by my friend and successor Mr. Charles H. Read, who, in addition to other kindly help, has drawn very carefully all the marks that appear in the plates.
