Pilgrim Bottle, c. 1715. Creator: Meissen Porcelain Factory (German).
Caption
Pilgrim Bottle, c. 1715. 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.
