What does an antique tea set inherited from your grandmother hide? After all, porcelain is not just an antique cup, vase or figurine. It is the keeper of warm memories of several generations and an object of passionate collecting.
Over the years, porcelain has experienced many transformations. Having come a long way from China, where it was created in an atmosphere of deepest mystery, it was revived in Europe by alchemists and finally appeared in the Russian Empire.

In this book:

- How did porcelain appear?

- What secrets are associated with its history?

- How were the magical scenes depicted on fragile, translucent cups, jugs and plates born?

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