Surname in this article: Bottger
    COFFEE SERVICE FRM DRESDEN:
"Dresden is a large city on the Elbe River in SE GErmany. It is the capital
of the state of Saxony, and it is near this place in the town of Meissen
that a great discovery was made in 1709 by alchemist Johann Frederick
Bottger..."
The article is lenghty; however, the Bottger name caught my eye - a local
German Lutheran Church has many Bottger/Boettger/ surnames in its old
records.
If anyone is interested in more...
