Description
True, translucent porcelain which has been fired at temperatures of about 1400C. Hard paste porcelain is composed of kaolin, feldspar, quartz, and/or flint. Hard paste porcelains were made in China and Japan in the 5th century CE from naturally occurring mixtures of clay. The first man-made mixture of hard paste was developed in Meissen, Germany in 1710. Soft paste porcelains are fired at lower temperatures.
