Cobalt blue and white porcelain is one of the most iconic decorative styles in history – conceived, some say, as the first truly international product. And while the techniques behind the making of porcelain first appeared in China thousands of years ago, they are now an integral part of ceramics workflows across the world, preserving human touch and skill that machines cannot replicate. ⁣ ⁣ From wheel-throwing to mold-making, these techniques are all still in use in the Meissen factory in Germany where porcelain pieces have been made for 300 years. britishmuseum meissen_porcelain ⁣ ⁣ #tracesofchina #porcelain #cgtneurope #meissen #culturalexchange
