The story behind it
Vesta is the Roman goddess of the hearth fire and the patron saint of bakers.
What is porcelain?
Porcelain is a precious and delicate material that is totally different from clay: It is made from different materials, for example kaolin and petunse, and it was invented in China almost 2000 years ago, with the Chinese being the only ones to know how to make it for many centuries.
As opposed to clay, porcelain is white and translucent and it is, even if it seems more fragile than clay, harder, and more durable than clay.
