Meissen porcelain or Saxon porcelain:

The name Saxon porcelain covers the products of severalGerman factories in the Saxony region from the early 18th century onwards, using the process discovered and perfected in 1709 by the chemist Frédéric Böttger. This hard porcelain uses kaolin, which comes from the kaolinite mines northwest of the town of Meissen.

The Royal Manufactory of Meissen, founded in 1710 by Auguste le Fort, is the best known.
