In your idea, what do u think the song "porcelain" by the red hot chilli peppers is about?

In Kiedis' autobiography "Cicatrix Tissue" he says:
"Around that days, I had met a young mother at a meeting. She was living in a YWCA with her coddle girl, trying to get sober but wanting miserably. the beauty and sadness and misfortune and glory, all wrapped into one, of this mother/daughter relationship was evoked by the vibe of that music."
Possibly it's related to that, just a hunch.

What is the difference between Chinese porcelain and western porcelain?

I am a dwarf confused at what these two have in common, especially because I advised of that western porcelain came from chinese porcelain, but what is the variation?

I don't intend there's any difference when talking about modern day porcelain. But it has a authentic difference.

The high firing glazed ceramics porcelain originated in China and for centuries were the solitary exporter of it. It wasn't until the early 1700's when Europe figured out how to fabricate porcelain and distinctions are made for collectors of early porcelain exertion.

Today, most such manufacturing work is no shrouded and everyone can make them with the same quality produced in factories on association lines. So for the average consumer, they don't at bottom mean anything other than maybe the designs on them.

Porcelain commands us to be civil in our take and keen to its needs. Beyond the elementary industrial demands that clay bodies all have in regular, porcelain also needs to be treated becomingly to leave alone warping and cracking during drying and firing. One of the most top-level things to about is to be careful of your timing-this is upper crust au fait through encounter.

Edifice onto a invent that’s too gentle causes slumping. Adding softer clay onto a envision that is too dry results in cracking. Altering and/or bending a pattern that’s too dry or leather unfriendly causes warpage and cracking. In generalized, adjoin only pieces of like dryness and brace all joints with extraordinarily clay and compress them together with a rib.
