Beautiful porcelain vase of the 60s covered with a beautiful colored and warm glaze. It's a beautiful piece. For the record, there is still its label and its selling price of 198 francs (a large sum in the 1960s). There is also a label made in italy. In excellent state of preservation. For the record: the difference between faience, ceramics and porcelain. The word ceramic comes from the greek word "keramos" which means clay. Ceramics is a family of materials that includes terracotta, faience, porcelain and sandstone. Earthenware is a specific form of ceramic, covered with lead-based email and tin salts cooked between 980 and 1050oc. The faience is porous. Porcelain is a mixture of kaolin (white clay) and quartz cooked between 1200 and 1400 oc. Its non-porous biscuit covered with glaze will give the finished piece a vitrified look.
