Porcelain is a ceramic material made by heating clay-type materials to high temperatures. It includes clay in the form of kaolinite. There is a distinction between hard-paste porcelain, fired at 1400 degrees Celsius, and soft-paste porcelain, fired at 1200 degrees Celsius.
I love the idea of wearing a mini plate. Three styles to choose from.
Two of these are signed but all are confirmed from La St Uzienne, French town famous for its ceramics based in the regional district of Drôme.
Saint-Uze ceramics were produced in several villages in the Drôme from the beginning of the 19th century and during the 20th century, notably in the village of the same name. It has become a favourite of collectors.
