In literature the term “porcelain” is sometimes employed not just to denote a material but to evoke a particular hue and delicate quality. For example, in one passage the fragility and pallor of a character are compared directly to porcelain, suggesting a refined, almost ethereal whiteness and vulnerability ([1]). In another instance, a character is described “like a porcelain Chinaman,” a simile that calls to mind the smooth, pristine, and slightly artificial quality traditionally attributed to fine porcelain ([2]). In these cases, porcelain is used as a color metaphor that conveys both beauty and a certain fragility, enriching the imagery with associations of delicacy and refined artistry.
