I got surprised to find so much interesting stuff when trying to find out what porcelain actually is. Like most of the great innovations, also "china" indeed comes from China. What I actually tried to find is the difference between porcelain and faience. And the main difference is the temperature where the both of them becomes burned. Porcelain requires much higher temperature. And that also turned out the reason why especially during 1970s oil crises many ceramic factories settled for producing faience instead. And the blue color typical for many porcelain items is because the blue tint withstands the high temperatures best.
