About Porcelain Countertops
The first porcelain is believed to have come out of China around 1400 AD. It was called “Wu ware,” and it was used for serving food and drinking tea.
Even though the first porcelains were made from a mixture of powdered china stone and white china clay, known today as porcelain, the name “porcelain” didn’t become popular until later. This is because most people thought that the substance had to be white in color. But the truth is that there are many different colors of porcelain, including blue, green, brown, pink, grey, orange, black, etc.
So what exactly makes one type of porcelain better than another? Here are some things to consider when choosing between porcelain and other materials such as stone.
