Where was porcelain made?
1 Answer
Porcelain was first made in China. Artisans began producing early forms during the Tang Dynasty, which lasted from 618 to 907 A.D. During the Yuan Dynasty from 1279 to 1368, crafting techniques advanced to produce the strong, translucent pottery that we call porcelain today. Shop a wide variety of porcelain objects on 1stDibs.
