Photographer’s Note

China is famous for her handicrafts. I visited the museum of arts and handicrafts in Guangzhou and this is a photo of a hand painted porcelain. The attractive and vividly detailed hand painted art on the porcelain caught my eye.
According to a note that Guangzhou hand painted porcelain was an art started at the beginning of the Qing dynasty which was about 300 years ago.The materials of painted porcelain comes from central china. Once painted, these pieces of art goes through a cycle of fires at different temperatures depending on the materials used before being complete. Because of the difficulty in doing this type of art, it is becoming extinct very quickly.
