Porcelain (/'p??rs?l?n/) is a ceramic material made by heating materials, generally including a material like kaolin, in a kiln to temperatures between 1,200 and 1,400 °C (2,200 and 2,600 °F). The strength, and translucence of porcelain, relative to other types of pottery, arises mainly from vitrification and the formation of the mineral mullite within the body at these high temperatures. Though definitions vary, porcelain can be divided into three main categories: hard-paste, soft-paste and bone china. The category that an object belongs to depends on the composition of the paste used to make the body of the porcelain object and the firing conditions.

Porcelain pair of mocha cups with Asian decoration with flower petal motif. Shalom Fresco with Son. Constantinople. The inscription data from the stamp reveal the lost details of the Russian emigration in Turkey in the 1920s. They point to a probably Jewish manufacturer-merchant in Constantinople or Gallipoli who satisfied the nostalgic demand of the first wave of emigration. The hallmark typologically imitates the brands of Russian (in particular, Gardner) porcelain of the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Under the double-headed eagle there is an oval with an illiterate text: Shalom Fresco with the Son. Constantinople. The products themselves are European in form, Turkish in function, oriental in decor - they fit into a complex cocktail of life in the 1920s of the emigrant east. The origin from Serbia, as one of the points of Russian emigration, confirms the complex historical path of products. Bears cultural and historical value and memory of the tragic outcome of emigration. Cup height: 4 cm. Saucer diameter: 8.5 cm. Width: 8.5cm, Height: 5cm, Depth: 8.5cm, Weight: 0.1kg, Condition: Good, with traces of use, Material: Porcelain, ID: 7634
