| Description | Since the post-medieval period, the fiel of pottery production saw the occurence of new types of ceramic materials. The basic type of pottery remained earthenware, common glazed ware. A novelty in Europe was porcelain, which has been imitated by many potters and alchemists since the 16th century already. This activity gave rise to many new types of pottery, which are known as faience or whiteware and finally, at the beginning of the 18th century, the production of porcelain itself was invented. The development of pottery making and effort to obtain financial resources led in the mid-18th century to the emergence of the first manufactories for production of ceramic ware. At the end of the 18th century, the first porcelain factories began to emerge in Northwest Bohemia, whereas Moravia continued the production of whiteware. At the beginnings of the 20th century, earthenware was superseded by cheaper and more durable tinware. |
