For hundreds of years craftsmen have created these exquisite hand-made porcelains just as their grandfathers did, and their grandfathers before them. Their methods are traditional, intensely detailed, and increasingly rare. Each intricate design is painted entirely by hand. Did you know that an underglaze artist must apprentice for ten years before he can be granted his highly skilled position? Amazing.

As for decorating with them, the sheer scale of these handpainted porcelain jars is breathtaking and impressive. Cluster a few varying scales together for a most dramatic and sophisticated focal point, and make a grand statement!
