The porcelain is fired twice at a temperature of 1250 °C. In normal lighting, there is practically no visible image, but a three-dimensional image is created when a light is placed behind it. Lithophanies became particularly popular in the mid-19th century. Placed in front of a candle, they served as a bedside lamp or were hung in front of a window.link on the site https://www.lavalisearlesienne.com/product-page/lithophanie-les-deux-chapelles-entre-lac-et-montagne
