Porcelain Painting (China Painting) is the art of applying mixed powdered mineral colour to porcelain which is then kiln-fired to create modern and traditional art. The techniques and materials available today ensure that the art of porcelain painting is innovative, with enamels, gold, texture pastes and lustres to enhance the final result.
