porcelana 24
1º_ Breed of French dog, originally called "dog of Franche-Comté", but known as Porcelaine because its mantle on the back reminds of porcelain enamel. 2º_ It is the name that was given in Europe since the fifteenth century to some pieces of fine earthenware and a translucent white color manufactured in China. Also to the enamel with those characteristics and by extension to the same pieces of that material. The original name is 29943; (pronounced 'ci' or 'tzu', depending on the region), but the Italians renamed it porcellana, which is the name for the mollusk that in Spanish is known as cauri, which has a shell of texture very similar to enamel. And a shape very similar to the vulva of a sow, which gave it that name that the Italian took from the Latin porcella ("little pig, pig"). See pork ("pig").
