Is Porcelain a popular creation in other places other than in China?

During the Ming dynasty, Europeans heard about the comments from the Chinese about Porcelain. So, they decided to go to China and find out about the interesting, but undiscovered 'Porcelain'. When the Europeans saw how amazing these pieces were, they decided to make a trade with China. Thankfully, the Chinese was willing to give the Europeans over 3 million pieces of Porcelain! After the Chinese potters finished painting all of the 3 million pieces, the Porcelain was shipped for export to Europe. Once the Europeans got all of their Porcelain, England soon hears about Porcelain. As the years went by, Porcelain started spreading throughout the world and that’s how the United States heard about Porcelain.

  1. I wonder what they would trade 3 million pieces porcelain in todays economy for and why they would trade it. But the thing is 3 million pieces of porcelain weigh a lot.
