In Meissen, Europas erster Porzellan-Manufaktur, blickt das Böttgersteinzeug auf eine lange Geschichte zurück. Es darf für sich in Anspruch nehmen, ein wenig älter zu sein als der weiß glänzende Scherben, den Böttger 1708 August dem Starken präsentieren konnte – ein kleineres, aber nicht minder faszinierendes Paralleluniversum im Meissener Formenkosmos. Der zweisprachige Band (deutsch und englisch) in edler Gestaltung führt den Leser von den Ursprüngen dieses roten Porzellans über seine 'Wiedergeburt' zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts bis zur heutigen Entwicklung. Zahlreiche Bilder vermitteln einen sinnlichen Eindruck.
