Industry Reviews
"'The Arcanum' tells how Bottger discovered the process for making porcelain and how he and a few gifted artisans made the Saxon town of Meissen a byword for innovative craftsmanship. Along the way there are adventures and mishaps, industrial espionage, aristocratic excess and royal incest, toxic factory fumes, scalding heat and, finally, Frederick the Great as the deus ex machina, whose Prussian soldiers overthrow the power of Saxony and scatter the plates and craftsmen to the four winds. But the persevering efforts of all those involved in the story, especially that magnificent visionary, Augustus, remain with the reader long after the last page. The author's fine grasp of her subject and lucid writing have allowed her to produce an industrial history that is both pleasurable and informative."
Wall Street Journal - Stuart Ferguson (03/19/1999)
