Blue & White

Blue and White Double Gourd

Made in the republican period. (1912-1949) with 5-claw dragon
They are known as "china" in some countries because China was the birthplace of porcelain/ceramics making. These are some pieces I have in my gallery.


Thanks to chinoiserie Chic which I chance upon while i was searching for ideas for my new home. I love her blog and this posting inspired me to list some of the items i have in my gallery.
This book, A Passion for Blue and White, was recommended by Chinoiserie Chic is a wonderful resource, providing inspiration for blue and white rooms for all budgets.
