'''Porcelain''' is a type of ceramic developed in [[China]]. There are three types of porcelain. The first type, true, or hard-paste porcelain, is made from [[petunse]] and [[kaolin]] heated at about 2650 degrees [[Fahrenheit]]. Soft-paste porcelain is made from clay and ground glass fired at 2200 degrees Fahrenheit. Soft-paste porcelain was invented in [[Florence]] in 1575 as an attempt to replicate Chinese porcelain but is sometimes confusingly called China.<ref>https://www.britannica.com/art/porcelain</ref> The third type of porcelain is called bone china. Bone china is made from ash, china stone, and china clay.<ref>https://www.britannica.com/art/bone-china-pottery</ref>
