Lurans stared in disbelief at the white porcelain bowl in his hand. It seemed even more elegant than the Crystal Cups and silver tableware in the castle.
Pottery?
Lurans had never seen pottery like this before. The pottery he was familiar with was mostly earth-toned—brown, ochre, and the like. He had never seen white pottery.
Moreover, this thing seemed harder than pottery.
"I call it 'Porcelain'."
Ronin answered Lurans's question. "There's a special type of soil in the Wubei Territory that I call Kaolin. This porcelain is what you get when you fire that soil at high temperatures."
"Unlike ordinary pottery, its appearance is more exquisite, and the body is solid and dense. I believe that once the firing techniques in the Wubei Territory improve a bit more, the even more beautiful porcelain we produce will surely be loved by the nobility."
Throughout history, high-level porcelain has generally only been used by high-ranking officials and nobles.
