A Brief History Of Chinese Porcelain by jk1s
The history of porcelain began in China around the seventh century of our calendar.
Vitreous Porcelain of Chinese porcelain were producing high quality, scenery and engraved with enamel colors can range from ivory to dark brown through green and blue the faintest. The celadon and porcelain with a very pale green, are among the most numerous. The first models were exported porcelain blue and porcelain Qingbai Te Hua, a particularly brilliant white called Chinese white. However, the reputation of Chinese porcelain body actually does at the beginning of the fourteenth century with the onset of blue china Vitreous china is imported Chinela by Marco Polo in Europe since the sixteenth century during his trip on the Silk Road.
Marco Polo Chinese porcelain compared to a pearl shell whose Italian name is "Porcellana", hence its name.
Europe was so impressed by the Chinese porcelain that has given China the name of this precious commodity. Thus, as the porcelain is designated by the word china in English, Europeans named this Country China became China into French.
Vitreous Chinels European ceramists admired for its whiteness and transparency. They have long sought to pierce the secret in the first European ceramists then might lead to the birth of the "bone china". It has the look of Chinese porcelain, but has neither the hardness nor the sound. It misses the main element: kaolin, still unknown at this time in Europe. In the early eighteenth century, it manages to produce in Saxony of the "hard-paste porcelain" from a local kaolin deposit, found by chance: the first manufacture of "hard-paste porcelain" outside China is then established.
Thus, it took more than four centuries to the West to discover the secret of Chinese porcelain, and born of Limoges porcelain.

Vintage French blue/white enamel house numbers?
It's my wife's birthday soon. I want to get her an old French enamel house number that is her date of birth - five digits. There is someone on eBay who has thousands of old ones - but she has told me that genuine French ones hardly ever go beyond three digits. Is she right? If not, then where should I look? If I can't find a French one then are there any countries other than US that might have such high numbers in enamel on steel? Help! I have a little under three weeks (21 Feb).
Thanks for helpful advice to date - Canada and split numbers seems best answer so far - I've checked some of the manufacturers/shops and all they seem to have is repro at several times French prices.
You can order a custom-made one there: http://www.house-signs-co.com/en/index.php
but they say the manufacturing time is 2 weeks so with international delivery it might be tight. You can always e-mail them and ask or look for something similar made in the US.
They don't do 5-digit though (we don't have streets that long!) so you should stick to the month and day and do a 3-digit one. Or order a street sign instead with her name.
PS: it's a sweet and fun gift idea, by the way!
