Chinese porcelain. Selected by ChiMolly.

A painting on porcelain can give a wall its focus. A vase changes when a branch is placed inside it. A cup belongs close at hand. ChiMolly Art brings these different forms together through an interest in Chinese porcelain and the places it can occupy in a home.

Our attention moves between the outline of an object and its smaller details: the turn of a rim, the space around a painted flower, the way a glaze catches the light. Blue and white is part of this view, alongside other colors, surfaces and approaches to decoration.

This journal opens up the context around the objects. It follows porcelain through places, materials and histories, and explains the qualities that interest us. You can begin with a piece that catches your eye and follow the questions it raises.
