IN this chapter I wish to give some comprehensive account of the famous porcelain of Dresden, which in Europe first came into prominence, and kept its place for so long a time. With this the other manufactories of Central and Eastern Europe will be grouped, for convenience rather than for the purposes of classification. We will take a comprehensive survey of—
1. Dresden, Meissen, or Saxony (it has all these names).
2. Berlin, or Prussian.
3. Vienna and Hungary.
4. Höchst, or Mayence.
5. Fürstenburg, or Brunswick.
6. Frankenthal, or the Palatinate.
7. Nymphenburg.
8. Kronenburg.
9. Fulda.
