The porcelain-obsessed Augustus the Strong of Saxony once designed a palace in which every room brimmed with porcelain. Existing prints give us some idea of the gay scene of pendants and parasols when he was welcomed by a Chinese dragon boat to Venice in 1716.
愛瓷成癡的薩克森國王奧古斯都，一度計畫要建一座從牆面到每間廂房，都滿布瓷器的賞心殿；一七一六年，他出訪威尼斯，當地的接待儀式在一艘中國龍船上舉行；從至今尚存的版畫中，可以看到旌旗飄揚、傘蓋如雲的歡樂場面。
