18th-century porcelain

18th-century porcelain refers to finely crafted ceramics produced mainly in China and Europe during the 1700s. It is valued for its delicate appearance, smooth surface, and often intricate, decorated surfaces featuring floral, mythological, or scenic motifs. Chinese porcelain, especially from the Jingdezhen kilns, was highly prized globally, inspiring European porcelain factories like Meissen in Germany and Sèvres in France to develop their own techniques. This era marked significant advancements in achieving translucency and durability, making porcelain a luxury object and a symbol of sophistication and global trade during that time.
