Royal Blue and Gold Porcelain Vase. Gzhel

Love this gold-plated blue & white porcelain napkin holder! A festive addition to your kitchen & dining rooms, it also makes for a wonderful gift! Made using century-old traditions and techniques, this napkin holder is a piece of art and history all in one. Each piece is truly unique since they are all made by hand! 

This deep blue cobalt is a very unique way of painting porcelain! Today, there are not that many artists and factories that use this type of porcelain décor technology in home décor. It has become quite expensive and time-consuming. This makes said porcelain pieces unique & hard to find in regular houseware stores.

The shiny, dark blue glaze is used to cover the pieces, after which an artist applies a thin, gold, graphic design element atop the porcelain and a special white overglaze paint, which blends the textures and inverts the colors of the glorious masterpiece. The chemical reactions of the paints and the glaze create an elegant dance of subtle wintery colors atop each piece. Photographs simply don’t do it enough justice! The richness of the paints and the elegance of each piece is felt when you hold it in your hands! You will instantly fall in love with it.

The Gzhel style of design is widely known around the world, but it all originates in a small town of the same name on the outskirts of Russia. Here, for many years craftsmen of their trade have been passing on the Gzhel porcelain making secrets to younger generations of artists.
