Ceramics
'Ceramic' is a term that covers all items made from fired clay,
whether it is the finest French soft paste porcelain of Sèvres or the robust 'ironstone' made by Masons in England.
It encompasses the manufacture of bone china, earthenware and true porcelain; a technique kept secret by the Chinese for thousands of years until Johann Böttger stumbled on the method in the early 18th century in Germany.
