English term or phrase: ground porcelain
Dear all,

I'm in trouble with the following phrase "ground [chinese] porcelain".

Context: academic study related to history of procelain in dutch paintings

"One of the potters’ attempts required mixing ***ground Chinese porcelain*** through their clays.
Replicating this procedure in oil painting, which meant mixing ***ground porcelain*** through the pigments, would have been at least technically possible: artists often used silicate as a filler or preparatory layer. Yet such a mixture would not have contributed to the desired optical effects, as the refractory index of lead white, the most commonly used white, would have been so much greater than that of a silicate mixture: simply put, its whiteness would have been much stronger."

Many thanks in advance for your help
