The work in this book has been specially painted in the oriental style. There are sample designs using flowers, landscapes, birds, butterflies, animals, dragons and phoenixes, illustrated in the familiar blue-on-white and also in various bright colours with gold edgings. Over 80 patterns are shown on vases, plates and platters, tea-caddies, decorative jars, pots and sweet dishes. Each motif is reproduced in detail with step-by-step instructions, from the pencil sketch to the finished painting, plus instructions for preparing and firing the final design. The book should appeal to pottery enthusiasts, silk and fabric painters, illuminators and all those interested in oriental art. Annick Perret is the author of "Painting on Porcelain: Traditional and Contemporary Designs".
