Customer reviews
Sehr hübsche und lustige Becher - ein ideales Geburtstageschenk für meinen "kleinen" Bruder (er wird demnächst 66 Jahre alt!), der sowohl Comics als auch Hunde liebt. Der Becher mit Micky und Pluto - war also der eigentliche Grund, die Becher zu kaufen und ihm zum Geburtstag zu schenken. Ich bin gespannt - aber die Becher sind sehr schön und witzig; sie werden ihm gefallen!

Porcelain is formed by turning or pressing, and figurative objects are cast. Complex objects have to be cast in separated steps and sections, and then "assembled". After the moulding, the pieces are dried and undergo an initial firing at about 900°C. Next, the glaze will be applied and fired at temperatures between 1,240 °C and 1,445 °C. In renowned manufactories, the porcelain is painted by hand, with each colour being fired individually under strict temperature tolerances.
Porcelain was invented in China and became widespread in Europe from the 16th century onwards. The first European porcelain factory was founded in Meissen, Germany in 1710.
Other famous European porcelain factories include Fürstenberg, Höchst, Schwarzburger Werkstätten, Lladró, Nymphenburg, KPM, Augarten, Sèvres, Limoges, Royal Copenhagen, Worcester. Each factories label their products with their personal porcelain stamps to indicate their origin.
