Description
About 1708, as a by-product of his efforts to produce porcelain, Böttger developed a fine red stoneware, so hard that it could be polished on a lapidary's wheel--as was the body of this small bottle. Red stoneware was part of the usual production of the Meissen factory during its first decade.- ?–1951(Rosenberg and Stiebel, Inc., New York, NY, sold to the Cleveland Museum of Art)1951–The Cleveland Museum of Art.
