Title: Process of making porcelain - an overview in pictures
Post by: peterp on Dec 12, 2017, 10:24:55
The link below points to a series of 19th century paintings, which illustrate the whole process from mining and preparing the clay, and to the manufacturing of porcelain, in short. This includes transport over land and by boat.
(Just ignore the tiny mountains, etc. Before the 20th century Chinese painters were poor at painting perspective and 3D proportions.)
