What does an antique tea set, left as an inheritance from your grandmother? After all, porcelain is not only an old cup, vase or statuette. It is a keeper of warm memories of several generations and a subject of passionate collecting.
Over the years, porcelain has undergone many transformations. Having made a long way from China, where it was created in an atmosphere of the deepest secrecy, it was revived in Europe by scientists-alchemists and finally appeared in the Russian Empire.

In this book:

- How did porcelain come into the world?

- What mysteries are connected with its history?

- How were the magical subjects represented on fragile, translucent cups, jugs and plates born?

- Why was porcelain valued for its weight in gold and what place does it now occupy in world culture - and in the hearts of collectors? This unique gift encyclopedia will inspire you on an exciting journey through the world of porcelain. Even if you don't have a collection of your own, your interest in it will stay with you for a lifetime.
