Interesting theme for searching and know more about considering the mines of kaolinite, for exemple in Bulgaria...

How did you learn so much about texture, art, and sculpture? You are very knowledgable.

I think that I started from the begining... My discovey of the porcelain figure Harlequin produced by Bottger, the artist founder of the Meissen manufacture of ceramic and porcelain. In the late XVII th century and early XVIII th century came to Europe the chinese porcelain figures made of fine porcelain... In Europe, first in Meissen, near Dresden, the manufacture was able to produce white porcelain for dinnerware and the artists made fine figures. After Bottger, Kaendler produced also fine porcelain sculptures... There are more artists and productions in the porcelain sculpture, including in museums that are available to the public... When I tried to buy one, well I was not able yet because the price is high. In Europe, commedia dellĀ“arte was fondamental as inspiration in porcelain sculpture.
