Porcelain is made by mixing water with clay and other materials although clay makes up only a small portion of it. Other materials that composes porcelain are feldspar, glass, and quartz. It is formed in high temperatures ranging from 1200 Celsius to 1400 Celsius. Its name came from an Italian word, porcella, which means pig�s back because its shape resembles the back of a pig.

It is indeed a fact that porcelain is highly demanded by a lot of people who appreciates its aesthetic value. It is a material that mirrors a culture and lifestyle of grace and art. Porcelain symbolizes sophistication and glamour. These traits are just what people of today value.
