Once worth more than its weight in gold, Meissen Porcelain has graced the households of royalty and artistocracy for several years. This book explores the history of this commodity ranging from its mysterious discovery by an imprisoned alchemist held captive in the King of Saxony's castle, to its reputation as the most beautiful porcelain.
