Antique Lamps by Edme Samson of Paris

Porcelain, along with many of our day to day products, was discovered in China over a thousand years ago during the Tang dynasty. That is why, in fact, in the West, we call it “China”, because that’s where it came from!

The discovery of porcelain in Europe, however, did not occur until the early 18th century in the German Princely Electorate of Saxony. The demand became a flood and vast amounts began to be exported from China.

The wealthy classes sent orders for dinner services via ships’ captains, who, twelve months later, would collect the service from the southern Chinese trading port of Canton. Many of these services were decorated with the family coat of arms of wealthy patrons.

 

 

They were produced for coffee and tea sets as well as complete dinner services and were known as “armorial” services. Very few have survived, complete and in original condition. As pieces became lost and broken, so the demand for replacements developed.

Edmé Samson specialised in the reproduction of Chinese export style porcelain from the period when it was fashionable for aristocratic families to order their services and shapes from southern China.

Edmé Samson, born in Paris in 1810, established the porcelain company of Samson-Edmé et Cie in the 1830’s. Samson began his career by producing replacement pieces, but it soon became obvious that his skill at reproduction resulted in superb copies of the original.

 

 

By the middle of the 19th century Samson was producing porcelain in all shapes and styles in imitation of all the major European factories, as well as Japanese Imari and the famous Famille Rose and Famille Vert styles produced in China between 1720 and 1790. In the 19th century Samson porcelain was considered as copies only, but now, Samson copies are antique, being over 100 years old.

The Beauty of Asian Antiques

The Beauty of Asian Antiques

As even a casual observer will tell you, there is a great deal of variety when you consider the art that comes out of Asia. The history of countries like Japan and China go back literally thousands of years, and by taking a look at what these lands have to offer in the way of gorgeous antiques is just one more way to appreciate true artistic ability, craftsmanship and history.

Chinese art, for example, is divided into periods relating to the dynasty that ruled the country. Chinese art can range from simple yet exquisitely glazed ceramic bowls to the popular and incredibly beautiful jade figurines. The Shang dynasty, for intance, was known for its blue casting, while China as a whole maintained a long tradition of beautiful porcelain. The arrival of Buddhism to China around 100 AD led to a great deal of religiously themed art as well.

Japanese art, on the other hand, has a reputation for being simpler than Chinese art, although this has not always been the case. The Japanese aesthetic is one that has changed over the years and today, many people associate it with grace, elegance, and a very spare, spartan beauty. One of the areas that Japanese art is best known for, though, is in textiles, particularly with regards to their kimonos. These robes are often one of a kind and when made by a real master, often have their own names and infrequently worn and more often displayed.

When you are looking for Chinese or Japanese statues to grace your home, you’ll find that there are many choose from, and that you’ll have a choice of many different materials. Both countries have elevated ceramic and porcelain into a fine art form, and you can still find carved figurine statues of jade, wood and stone. You can find plenty of statues of the Buddha, of the Eight Immortals, and of the Japanese folk hero Momotaro, or you can find statues of more homely things, like cats, dogs or children.

Upon examination, Chinese art and Japanese art both abounds with dragons. In Asia, these powerful, serpentine beasts were more associated with good than they are with evil, and more connected with water than with fire. Large bodies of water were thought to have dragons slumbering under them, and buildings are often not built more than a certain height to make sure that dragons that live in the mountains can see the ocean. You’ll find both Chinese and Japanese art loves to depict these creatures, who were often symbols of imperial rule.

Take some time to take a look at the elegance and beauty that can grace your home through the display of Asian antiques, and you’ll find that you have excellent reasons to make sure that you see what these pieces of art can bring to your environment!

How To Do Glass Painting

Glass is so beautiful! Paintings too are eyes’ delight! When glass and paints are combined, they create amazing works of art. The art of glass painting is becoming popular, especially with them who want to decorate their homes with an artistic touch. In fact, it is not very tough to do. You can create a beautiful painting in a day.

All you need to do glass painting is a little imagination and patience along with, of course, certain things like a clean piece of glass (size 8X8″ is sufficient for the first timers), glass liners, paints, paintbrushes, nail polish remover, and a soft piece of cloth. You don’t have to bother yourself in collecting these items. They are all included in the Painting Kits, that are so easily available in the market these days. Even before buying a glass painting kit, you’ll have to decide what colors are you going to use for making your glass painting. If you are a first timer then you must opt for water-based color and get the beginners kit. Water-based paints, as compared to oil based paints, are easier to handle.

Basic Steps for Making a Glass Painting

  1. After getting the piece of glass and the painting kit, clean the glass so as to get a smooth surface.
  2. If you are not going to oven cure your finished painting then you need somewhat rough surface. Firing in a kiln can help oil paints dry and adhere better otherwise paints tend to peel or chip off. This can be countered by roughening up the surface a little with wet or dry sandpaper. Roughing the surface in this manner will help the paint adhere better and last longer.
  3. Select a pattern which has clear outlines with minimum possible curves and pointed corners.
  4. Trace the pattern on a piece of paper which is exactly the size of the glass piece. The pattern should be drawn exactly at the center with at least 1 or 1-1/2 inches margin on all sides.
  5. Keep the glass on the patterned piece of paper aligning them perfectly.
  6. Make outlines of the pattern on the glass with the help of glass liner. Use black glass liner for maximum clarity. These borders help in holding the wet colors within them and avoid spilling of the paints.
  7. While doing all these, be careful not to mess up the pattern. If, however, it happens, swab the smudged part with cotton-wool dipped into nail polish remover and wipe away with piece of cloth.
  8. Leave the pattern to dry up. It may take anywhere from 2 to 5 hours to get completely dried. It can also be blow dried or quickening the process.
  9. Now use the colors to fill in the pattern with uni-directional strokes. Avoid taking too much of paint or spilling it. Any corner or part that is not painted can be seen from the reverse side by lifting up the glass. Be careful, not to hold the glass vertically to avoid dripping off the colors.
  10. If any bubbles are made in the colors while painting, then pierce them with needle or a pin. They can also be gently brushed towards the outlines bringing them out of the borers and then wiping them away with nail polish remover.
  11. Avoid applying two coats of paint in any portion of the pattern.
  12. Allow the painting to dry for at least 24 hours.
  13. After the painting has dried, place it in a cold oven. Set the oven to 160 deg C (325F). When temperature reaches 160C, time it for 40 minutes. Switch off the oven and allow it to cool. Once the oven is cold, remove the Glass Painting.
  14. Alternatively, you can let the painting air dry only by not klin firing it.
  15. You can use beads, glitter, and sequins into the wet paint before it dries for decorating the painting.

Not only paintings, this method, with little changes, can be used to make a painted stain glass window or mirror. You can even make glass painting greeting card and use it on any special occasion.

can the common permanent marker be used as the outline for glass painting?

as in using it for each individual border.will it rub off later on or will it stay?

The common permanent marker isn’t all that permanent, especially on a non-porous substance like glass.

Certain solvents, alcohol in particular, very easily remove permanent marker from glass. With enough work, you can also rub it off. (I found this out after my 2-year old colored a picture on my PC monitor with a Sharpie).

You would be better off using some type of paint marker for this. You can find these at most craft stores. The black will be a better quality too.

Ceramic enterprises to explore the road of the "big ceramic industry"

Mainstream business Pathfinder “big ceramic industry” far-reaching

We have before us have already begun construction of a hazy “big ceramic industry” clue: Last year, Dongpeng Ceramics at Headquarters and throughout the store to open one after another, “Xuan Dongpeng Ceramics,” selling to consumers furnishings Ceramics – Modern Ceramics chemicals, including Foshan signed potters Huang Zhiwei, Feng Weimin, Arroyo of modern China and other ceramic works. Almost the same period, it was discovered that ceramic Foshan Ou Shennuo headquarters Hall also exhibited a variety of fine porcelain, but all of these products in Jingdezhen Ou Shennuo a professional company’s own products, including “spectacular and the kiln,” “High resolution” and “were Yuanguo porcelain” and many other brands.

Spring of this year, it is also the headquarters at Wrigley hall bathroom to see a large number of beautiful porcelain art porcelain and furnishings, including tea sets, cutlery, cups and Jacuzzis, these products also come from Jingdezhen. Most importantly, Wrigley, Ou Shennuo with Dongpeng like to display art, ceramics for daily use to introduce the headquarters or the terminal hall is not to simply highlight the effect of ceramic sanitary space for the display, but actually generates sales, create value.

    The past two years, in fact, not only the mainstream of ceramic sanitary enterprises in wondering “big ceramic” thing, some powerful ceramic professional supermarkets are also taking part. For example, December 20, 2008 in Beijing, the Shilihe Cuntucunjin materials Street, Min Long ceramics market will stocked with tens of thousands of square meters of land to build, “Min Long Ceramic Art”, and with the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Tsinghua America Hospitals, Jingdezhen Ceramic Institute three formed a strategic partnership committed to promoting the Chinese ceramic culture, nurturing household, furnishings art ceramics consumption of soil, shows his determination to build “big ceramic” professional stores ambitions.

    China is the hometown of ceramics, but also daily porcelain producer.

However, the implementation of the last century, 90 years after privatization, the industry to reduce barriers to entry, the private sector generally used practiced on a cottage, and low-cost competitive manner so that the whole industry, very difficult to introduce large-scale industrial production methods and, therefore, difficult to produce large enterprises , especially for the domestic market, large enterprises. Fujian Dehua somewhat the size of the majority of daily porcelain, art porcelain furnishings are export-oriented manufacturing enterprises, such as crown-fu home (002,102) that have the ability to self-built sales channels in the size of the domestic enterprises are rare. “Kuan fu home” is the modern household ceramics (porcelain and porcelain arts and furnishings) is the leading brand, marketing center, based in Shanghai, has now been opened in the domestic first-tier cities to build in order to fight domestic ceramic-based products, specialty stores (Living Museum) . In addition, there is the famous art of porcelain furnishings brands are gradually Franz major cities in the country to build proprietary point (the previous export-orientated). But nowadays the overwhelming majority of domestic household, furnishings art porcelain business because of the size of small, weak in strength, or the extension of the traditional sit shops in the wholesale, self-production and sales channel model. A good product there is no chance of passing the terminal shops display beautiful scenario simulations to enhance value-added and total sales volume. This can be said to China Daily, the development of ceramic arts and furnishings, one of the major bottlenecks.

    Household, furnishings art of porcelain lagging domestic sales channels, but also breeds the opportunity. Construction, sanitary ceramics fields mainstream business and professional supermarkets should also be seen this. The mainstream business is usually in the terminal have hundreds of thousands of shops, but are generally one of more than 2000 square meters large exhibition hall, which has enough space can be used to be dedicated to daily use, tastefully decorated porcelain art exhibition. In addition its sophisticated brand image can also be as a sales basis. Building sanitary ceramics mainstream business of this “shared channel, integrated marketing” model once the exploration success, which means “big ceramic” The path has been opened, meaning extraordinary. Next, companies need to do is the integration of upstream production resources, and the acquisition, control of the household is relatively small, tastefully decorated porcelain art enterprise is a natural option.

    Building Ceramics business development general rule, first production and sales of certain marketable products, or tiles, or tiles, or antique brick, and then gradually extend its product line, will be polished tiles, tiles, antique tiles, outer wall, and even mosaic, sanitary ceramics, and all done with so much, while the sanitary ceramics enterprises can extend in the opposite direction, such as Wrigley bathroom extension of current-enabled products. The problem is an extension of the above two directions have the support of dealers, distributors and even some enterprises are forced to solve the channel product flow to maximize the pressure elongated product lines (its internal strength of the moment may not be supported, resulting in the actual operation of stretched). Daily sales channels right now, furnishings extension of most of the porcelain art dealer currently has no sense, let alone experience. Therefore, the dealer put in resources to do this if the reasons for the decision is a “big ceramic” industry an important part of the success or failure.

Where can I find information on a specific south asian antique?

I have a ceramic bowl with a lid that I would like to know the history of. It is hand painted, with pictures of what I consider to be really ugly, what I think to be chinese, men, with mean faces. The marking on the bottom is in a type of chinese or maybe japanese(or other south east asian) style of writing. Please help me figure out where this antique came from.

You need to repost the question with a photo of the bowl and the mark on the bottom. The reign mark should be simple to identify. The men are probably gods. I can probably tell you more when you repost.

On the surface, David Cronenberg may seem an unlikely candidate to direct A History of Violence, but dig deeper and you’ll see that he’s the right man for the job. As an intellectual seeker of meaning and an avowed believer in Darwinian survival of the fittest, Cronenberg knows that the story of mild-mannered small-town diner proprietor Tom Stall (Viggo Mortensen) is in fact a multilayered examina…

While action legend Jackie Chan’s career continues to wane in the United States, he has in recent years enjoyed a revival in his native Hong Kong, and the period-action comedy Little Big Soldier is perhaps the best of those efforts. Set during China’s Era of Warring States (roughly 475-221 BC), the story centers on Chan as a farmer-turned-soldier who survives a bloody battle with a valuable prize-…

Garden Small ?

 

Size does matter, most of us have a smaller garden than we would like and small garden blues aren’t nice.

Gardens of the small variety make it hard to grow all the plants we would like, or indeed for most of us we buy the plant then find out after a few years that it takes over the garden and has to come out.

And small garden design issues lead us to little choice in all areas  of gardening, from what plants, materials, lawns and patio furniture to have.

A small garden at the front of the property often lads people to pave or tarmac it over as car parking space.

If your gardens small there are many solutions so don’t worry, for instance boundaries become more of an important feature. Fences, trellises and walls make great areas for climbing plants.

Box hedges can be used to create form and direct the eye, this will work with larger flowers and pathways, try designing a central circular feature to add width.

Raised features are good to add dimension, raised bed around a seating area or in the middle can give a sense of being submerged in the garden. Raising the garden in steps facing your window is a good idea as it brings depths. You can plant the steps up to form a bank of flowers which will grab the attention.

A tip for small garden design when thinking about planting is to only use three main colours in you scheme.

Besides green! think of three of your favorite colours plant them in waves in your raised beds and you will have a display to be proud of.

Try using your cubic space, with trellis planting tubs and hanging baskets, an arch over a gate is another opportunity in a small garden to gain growing space.

Build in features to your garden such as a wall with a BBQ built in and the use of planters and pots will be of benefit.

Create illusions with hidden areas and opened fencing, it’s best to keep the lawn to a minimum or not have one at all. Think about gravel areas, water features and what you most want. This is usually a seating and or dining area.

Build a plan up around this central point, use a software package, or you can do it the old fashioned way with some graph paper and a pencil.

Most small gardens have high walls or fences around, it is a good idea to take a note 3 times a day if possible what the micro climate is like. What I mean is how much Sun does the small area of your garden get ? When does it have the Sun for and how long it is in shade or Sun, are parts of the garden exposed to the Sun, wind or frost.

 

Plants and a Small Garden

 

Firstly lets look at plants for walls, here are a few suggestions;

 

Plants for a North and East Facing Wall

 

Actinidia, Akebia, Celastus, Fallopia, Hedera, Hydrangrea, Jasminum, Pyracantha.

 

Plants for South and West Facing Walls

 

Abutilon, Aristolochia, Campsis, Celastrus, Clematis, Hedera, Passiflora, Wisteria.

Above are great for walls, large plants and small garden? yes we can as Mr. Obhama says, but be warned regular pruning required!

 

General Plants Suitable for Small Gardens

 

A lot of Conifers are low growing, these include, Aurea nana, Rheingold and Filifera Aurea and blue star.

Evergreen shrubs, well for a small garden your spoilt for choice, Hebes are popular espescially variegated varieties. Hydrangers and Cotoneasters too.

 

Water Features

 

Water features and small garden areas work well, adding a feature and ambiance to small gardens with the sound of water flowing, they don’t have to be ponds see below for some ideas.

Patio Furniture Ideas

 

 

 

 

 

Storage is the key, the above set is ideal as is the one below.

 

 

 

Stowaway patio furniture works well in a small garden as it “stows” down to a small areas easily stored in a shed or even in the house.

Finally if you can’t build in seating feature the try a fold away bench like below, it work well in small gardens and can again be folded away and put in a cupboard in the house.
