China painting, or porcelain painting, is the decoration of glazed porcelain objects such as plates, bowls, vases, etc. The art of china painting is a very old art and over the years the quality of the porcelain, the design and decoration has become extremely refined. More recently interest has revived in china painting, or porcelain painting as a fine art form.

Dating back to ancient China, porcelain painting remains a popular symbol of beauty and power. An art without frontiers! The careful balancing of mixtures and pigments, the difficulty of application and individual skill that go into the creation of each piece contributes to making Art on Porcelain one of the most diverse, gorgeous and desired art forms of all time.

Today, Art On Porcelain is as various and eclectic as the many artists who discover it as a medium for creating aesthetic pieces. China painting has continued in popularity to the present time with young and old enjoying the creativity and personal pleasure and satisfaction this form of art provides.

The beautiful plates, dishes and vases produced by porcelain artists have undoubted heirloom value because of their individuality - each article carrying the signature and incorporating some of the personality of the artist.
