- Hard Paste Porcelain - Hard paste porcelain is true porcelain made of china stone and kaolin. The formula has been known by the Chinese since 800BC, but was kept secret until the early 1700s when a chemist at the Meissen factory discovered it, and the formula has since become known throughout the west.
