On the occasion of the 300th birthday of Johann Friedrich Böttger in 1982 For the 300th birthday of Johann Friedrich Böttger in 1982, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of the German Democratic Republic issued four multicolored special postage stamps in combination and a block with two multicolored special postage stamps. Special cancellation from January 26 to March 25, 1982 Böttger - Honoring the German Democratic Republic 1982 Dresden - Meissen On February 4, 1982, Johann Friedrich Böttger (1682-1719) celebrates his 300th birthday. In 1708 he found the recipe for the production of hard porcelain - the foundation for the founding of the Meissen Porcelain Manufactory. Böttger was appointed its first administrator and led her through the first years. It was important to outgrow the invention beyond the conditions of a laboratory and let it mature for series production. The merit Böttgers is supra-regional; he gave the porcelain to the world because he found the substances to be synthesized (kaolin + feldspar + quartz). Thus, the porcelain was detached from the bond to East Asian mineral resources, which offered the substances in the finished mixture. Its performance is therefore also the foundation for all porcelain production in the world. The abundance of these positives corresponds to the Council of Ministers of the German Democratic Republic also with his tribute to Böttger in February 1982. 20 Pfennig value: Bechervase A synonym for the Böttger era is white porcelain with a creamy shimmering glaze (Böttger porcelain takes alabaster instead of feldspar). Around 1715, this cup was created (Staatliche Kunstsammlung Dresden). The luscious plumage of rose twigs illustrates the goal in the decoration, which reach only Höroldt (1696-1775) and Kaendler (1706-1775). Thus, the European porcelain style is justified by that of Meissen porcelain.
