Begin with the surface.
Look closer at the work.
Then consider your own idea.
01 / ARTISTRY
Pattern, light, blue and gold.
Four different ways to look at a work,
from its smallest detail to its complete form.
I / 扒花 · PAHUA
Fine scrolling lines sit beneath a larger arrangement of flowers and birds. Close up, the yellow surface becomes a field of small marks; from a distance, the main decoration reads as a whole.
II / 玲珑 · LINGLONG
Against a dark setting, the repeated pattern becomes luminous. Light picks out the small shapes in the white cup, making the pattern part of the way the object is seen.
III / 青花 · BLUE & WHITE
Blue decoration moves across the covered bowl and accompanying cups. Each piece has its own form, while the shared colour and related motifs bring the group together.
IV / 描金 · GILDING
Gold-coloured ornament stands out against the dark surface. The dragon motif and fine border follow the bowl’s curve, drawing attention to both the decoration and the shape beneath it.
02 / MANUFACTURING
A view of the place, followed by the detail.
The people, tools and porcelain
are shown in company photographs.
A close view of the brush, the cup and the decorated area. The scale of the image lets the working contact become visible.
The small white vessel and its support place the object within a working setting, beyond the finished studio photograph.
PROCESS DOCUMENTATION
03 / QUALITY
Inspection, protection and delivery form the next part of the story. This section is reserved for the records that show what happens to a work before it reaches its destination.
SUPPORTING RECORDS PENDING / DESIGN STUDYWhat is checked on the finished piece, how the result is recorded, and which criteria apply to the work.

TO DOCUMENT / PROJECT ARRANGEMENTS04 / SELECTED WORKS
Two different scales of decoration.
Read the surface in relation
to the complete vessel.
Flowers and scrolling forms extend across the body, shoulder and cover. The larger vessel shows how a dense pattern follows a changing surface.
Blue landscape decoration wraps around the two rounded parts of the vessel. The complete view reveals how the painted scene meets the form.
A work can become the starting point for a conversation.
