Production processes
In 1968 the first issue of the specialist reading "Why? Why? Warum? 100 Fragen über Porzellan" by Hans Friedl under the patronage of Keramika GmbH Selb, a society of the Association of the Ceramic Industry e.V. (VKI). This work was regarded in the industry as the short version of the porcelain bible and was virtually omnipotent. In the first edition it was written "...the drying of porcelain is best done with a soft cloth... do not stack too high when putting it away... ...and plates are best placed with a layer of tissue paper in between..." If we were to make this recommendation today for our commercial porcelain, we would go bankrupt immediately. A lot has changed since then, and we are trying to give you an impression of porcelain production in our little product information.
As an introduction to porcelain production, we use a sectional drawing of a porcelain factory from the book by Hans Friedl, "100 Questions about Porcelain", which impressively describes the different stages of production.
Porcelain is a material that is shaped in a variety of manufacturing methods. Here you can see an overview of the different manufacturing methods.
