porcelain  

Definición

  • Porcelains (and ceramics generally) offer an opportunity matched only by textiles to study changing conceptions of consumption over long periods at the level of global exchange. The word porcelain derives from a term for cowrie shells in various medieval European Romance languages, suggesting early associations with both a material surface and an exchange medium.
