  • "Johann F. Böttger, né en 1682, alchimiste de génie, fut enfermé de longues et vaines années dans un laboratoire par le roi de Saxe afin de lui livrer les arcanes de la pierre philosophale. Il finit par sauver sa tête en trouvant la formule chimique de la porcelaine. La jalousie des souverains voisins provoqua corruption, espionnage, meurtres ... Commencèrent alors les guerres de la porcelaine."

  • "In the seventeenth century, the extravagant and greedy Augustus the Strong, King of Poland and Elector of Saxony, imprisoned the nineteen-year-old alchemist Johann Frederick Böttger and commanded him to discover the arcanum, the secret of making gold from base metal. Instead, Böttger stumbled upon the formula for making translucent porcelain, another precious commodity previously only available from China."
