<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kardinalisimo, post: 12068, member: 118&quot;]I agree that most of the porcelain is transulant, like plates, cups, some vases etc. But I do believe there are thick walled pieces which does not let the light pass trough.</p><p>As far as I know the Chinese does not have different words for stoneware and porcelain. Don&#039;t know how they do it now but but they used to fire the underglazed pieces once. Paste, blue or other color decoration and clear glaze were baked all together. Overglazed enamels would require second firing.</p><p>I think the Europeans were experimenting how to make hard paste porcelain as they did not know the ingredients used by the Chinese. Not sure how they figured to use kaolin and feldspar.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
