This delicately crafted porcelain vase demonstrates a simple elegance in form, and features a mother-of-pearl applique design. Each flower is meticulously hand-carved from abalone shell with flawless color tone across each sculpted petal. Handcrafted by a family of artisans in the Guangdong province of mainland China for over three generations. The longevity of this family's craft, despite dramatic social and economic reform, is a true testament of their craftsmanship. Porcelain is hand-finished with seven coats of rich, clear lacquer.
