PORCELAIN DUE TO ACCIDENT
How the Process of Enameling Was
Diecovered by Chinese Workers
About 206 B. C.
Near the year 206 B C.. in the be
ginning of the dynasty of Han, some
workers in earthenware set their pots
fn the oven to bake, and forgot them.
When they remembered them and
opened the oven doors they found that
the pots were vitrified in shining
■pots. In this way the enameling of
porcelain was discovered. Whan
freed of Its dross the substance grow
lighter, become clear, and acquired
a grain as fine and smooth as vel
vet and a thin, hard, translucent body
that rang like a bell.
The art of monochromatto ghuttng
was discovered in the time of the
dynasty of Song (960—1280 B. C.).
Occasionally the action of the fire sep
arated the pigments and produced ex
cessive richness of color. The Mon
gol invasion checked the progress of 1
ceramic art. In 1368 Tai-Tsu, the
■on of a day laborer, dethroned the
emperor and founded the dynasty of
Ming, whose reign persisted until
1644. Tai-Tsu lost no time In restor
ing the Imperial manufactories. He
gave the national manufactory the
monopoly of the work in porcelain, ex
cepting nothing but the white pottery
manufactured by the artisans of
Tehua. Under the new impetus all
the ancient methods were revived and
perfected. The system of three-color
and five-color decoration, after a pre
liminary firing, dates from the re
naissance of art under the Ming dy
nasty.—Harper’s Weekly.

Having heard so many favora

day by Mr. Spears, Rector of

While there may be a slight
