Passage:
In the early eighteenth century, European artisans sought to replicate Chinese hard-paste porcelain. In 1708, mathematician Ehrenfried Walther von Tschirnhaus and alchemist Johann Friedrich Böttger succeeded in producing the first authentic European white porcelain at Meissen. Their breakthrough relied on firing a precise mixture of alabaster and kaolin at temperatures exceeding 1,300 degrees Celsius, rather than using the soft-paste glassy frits previously utilized by French manufacturers. This high-temperature fusion created a fully vitrified ceramic that was impervious to liquids.
Statement: Based on the passage, the European porcelain developed at Meissen in 1708 was produced by firing a mixture containing kaolin and alabaster at temperatures greater than 1,300 degrees Celsius.
