These are stunning. There is no "over the top" for some.
This is simply wonderful ❤️
How I admire this porcelain
Fascinating: for one who has always loved porcelain this has taught me so much. Merci bien.
As a ceramacist I love working with porcelain.
I am a qualified porcelain painter people today don’t even know how long is it take to learn this profession. It take me years to learn painting on paper before I could touch a porcelain. They are absolutely beautiful.
@2:30 Over elaborate, crudely colored, richly gilded… you got that right! 😂
I agree, you learn to love 18th century porcelains. As exquisite asSevres porcelain is ,I prefer Meissen and Nymphenburg . Why wasn’t Meissen mentioned,as they were the first Europeans to produce genuine porcelain .
It's amazing to think my boring, every day dinner plates and bowls (blue and white porcelain) would fetch a fortune if I was alive in the 18th century. 😲
Absolutely stunning! Thank you so much for sharing this breathtaking beauty.
It’s incredible to hear from a qualified porcelain painter! Your dedication and years of practice are truly inspiring. Porcelain art is such a refined craft, and it’s amazing to think about the patience and skill it takes to master it. These pieces are more than just beautiful—they’re a testament to timeless artistry and tradition. Thank you for sharing your perspective!
People who say it's too much , you all deserve to live a boring life in a cave.
❤ So exquisite mand divine 🎉🎉🎉🎉
