Bits of knowledge Chinese porcelain is a type of ceramic, from China and has been created for well over a millennium. The term covers a wide range of Chinese high-fired ceramics, some of which would probably not be recognized as porcelain under some Western definitions of the term. It is usually green-fired or once-fired, which means that the body and the glaze are fired together. After the body of a piece is formed and finished it is dried, coated with a glaze, dried again and fired. In the high temperature of the kiln, the body and the glaze are fused together to become a unit. Chinese enameled wares are also produced in this way, but the enamels are added after the first, high-temperature, firing and the pieces are sent for a second firing in a smaller, lower-temperature kiln. The similarity in composition of the body and the glaze helped to produce a good fit between the two that reduced cracking in the glaze.
