Böttger stoneware is an exceptional material that is closely linked to the history of the Meissen porcelain manufactory. It was discovered in 1708 by Johann Friedrich Böttger, the alchemist and co-founder of the Meissen porcelain manufactory. The fine, deep red to dark brown stoneware is characterized by its high density, extreme hardness and fine surface. Böttger stoneware is regarded as the first European answer to the coveted Chinese porcelain and marked the beginning of a new era in European porcelain art.
