Asian Influence is Always in Style
When decorating, mixing styles can add your own character and personal touch to your home.
CHINESE YONGZHENG NIAN ZHI PERIOD PORCELAIN LOBERSTER FINIAL POT
Even if you want an earth tone palette, adding a touch of red to each room gives the space a place for the eye to land. Our antique Lobster Pot is a whimsical way to add that touch in a kitchen or family area.
Vintage Chinese Yongzheng Nian Zhi Period porcelain Covered Bowl with Lobster Finial and with a beautiful red & yellow glaze depicting three young boys sitting outside. Decorated further with flowers and interesting handles.
It is rare (and interesting) to find a vintage Chinese porcelain piece set with a red background.
THE LADY IN THE FAIRY TALE BY HE NENG ARTIST SERIGRAPH
The new gray and white palette can come off cold and unfriendly. By including a "tech blue" can add that warmth without loosing any of what you are designing for.
This is a commanding piece measuring 32" x 32" square, unframed.
Exceptional as a focal point in a room, at the end of the hall or in an entry way.
Read the full details of this piece titled "The Lady in the Fairy Tale" by He Neng. Two limited editions are available at the time of this post.
CHINESE FAMILLE ROSE COLOR PALETTE
Famille Rose (French for "pink family") is a type of Chinese porcelain introduced in the 18th century and defined by the presence of pink colour overglaze enamel. It is a Western classification for Qing dynasty porcelain known in Chinese by various terms: fencai, ruancai, yangcai, and falangcai.
Although Famille Rose is named after its pink coloured enamel, the colour may actually range from pale pink to deep ruby. Apart from pink, a range of other soft colour palettes are also used in Famille Rose. The graduation of colours was produced by mixing coloured enamels with "glassy white" , an opaque white enamel (lead arsenate), and its range of colour was further extended by mixing different colours.

Don't be fooled! Examples of Famille Rose porcelain display a beautiful rainbow of pinks, yellows, greens, teals, blues and blacks. The intensity of color is amazing and the subjects range from happy flowers to dragons to other idyllic scenes.
