Kuputuhi e Wātea Tūmatanui ana
In the early 18th century, a number of Staffordshire potteries experimented with ways of imitating wares to resemble fine Chinese porcelain, then being imported into the country. They were trying for a ware that was white, thin and fragile looking and had to be translucent. The latter quality could never be achieved.

E hangaia tonutia ana te kohinga tuihono a Tāmaki Paenga Hira; tāpirihia ai ngā whakahoutanga me ngā pūkete i ia wiki. I ētahi wā, kāore anō kia whakaūhia ngā pūkete e ngā kaimahi o Te Whare Taonga, tēnā pea he hapa kei roto i ngā kōrero.
