The porcelain manufacture immediately opened up an important source of public revenue, and it became so productive to the Elector of Saxony, that his example was shortly after followed by most European monarchs. Although soft porcelain had been made at St. Cloud fourteen years before Böttgher’s discovery, the superiority of the hard porcelain soon became generally recognised. Its manufacture was begun at Sèvres in 1770, and it has since almost entirely superseded the softer material. This is now one of the most thriving branches of French industry, of which the high quality of the articles produced is certainly indisputable.

白话
瓷器制造一出现，立刻成为公共收入的重要来源，对萨克森选帝侯来说利润丰厚，于是欧洲多数君主很快效仿。虽然软质瓷器早十四年已在圣克卢生产，但硬质瓷的优越性很快被普遍认可。1770年塞夫勒开始制造硬瓷，此后几乎完全取代软瓷。如今这是法国工业最兴旺的部门之一，产品质量之高无可争议。这说明一项新技术若能带来稳定收益，就会迅速传播；而质量更优的产品终将胜出。对今天而言，创新要兼顾经济价值与品质提升，才能持续发展。
