10 Simply Unique Porcelain Art Pieces
Porcelain art pieces you may want for collections.
Lots of art enthusiasts are collectors of porcelain art pieces. I, myself have been collecting small architectural pieces of arts made of porcelain for about 3 years now. I’m only collecting items of angels because they look so cute and affordable.
Well, according to what I’ve researched a porcelain is a ceramic material made by heating raw materials, generally including clay in the form of kaolin, in a kiln to temperatures between 1,200 ºC (2,192 ºF) and 1,400 °C (2,552 °F). The toughness, strength, and translucence of porcelain arise mainly from the formation of glass and the mineral mullite within the fired body at these high temperatures. Porcelain is sometimes referred to as china. This is because until the 17th century, China was the sole producer of porcelain.
Here are some of the most beautiful art pieces I’ve found;
The Judgment of Paris
This distinct porcelain piece of art is The Judgment of Paris created by Capidimonte porcelain manufactory. This porcelain piece is currently displayed at Capitoline Museums in Rome. The Capodimonte porcelain manufactory was established in Naples in 1743, in direct emulation of the porcelain being produced at Meissen. Capodimonte is famous for is molded figurines and its decorative modeled flowers applied to cups and vases.
Porcelain Doll
My daughter will surely love to have this lovely piece of art. This beautiful porcelain doll is from the Czech Republic.
Meissen Porcelain
This porcelain piece is truly adorable. This Meissen porcelain is a 19th century pair of candelabras and a clock
Nymphenburg Porcelain
This porcelain piece was made probably between 1760 and 1765 by the Nymphenburg Porcelain Manufactory manufacturer of Nymphenburg porcelain. This manufactory is situated in the Nymphenburg Palace in Munich, capital of Bavaria Since the mid-eighteenth century it has been manufacturing porcelain of high artistic value.
Chinese Porcelain
This intriguing Chinese porcelain which is intricately designed is from the reign of the Qianlong Emperor presumably about 1735 to 1796.
Korean Celadon
This porcelain piece is an incense burner. It’s a Korean celadon incense burner from the Goryeo Dynasty that rule Korea from 918 up to 1392.
Chinese Porcelain
This particular porcelain piece manifest how good the Chinese are in designing porcelain wares that make this art piece simply beautiful. This is a Chinese porcelain-ware displaying battles between dragons created during Kangxi era about 1662-1722 of the Qing Dynasty.
French Porcelain Inkwell
This simple but artistic piece of porcelain is a French Porcelain inkwell.
Dakin Building
This building, named Dakin Building is unique. This building located in Brisbane, California is amazing because it uses porcelain panels.
Porcelain Tower of Nanjing
This architectural structure is ultimately unique. It’s the most amazing architectural piece made of porcelain. It is called the Porcelain Tower of Nanjing or otherwise known as Porcelain Pagoda. It is a historical archaeological site located on the south bank of the Yangtze in Nanjing, China. It was constructed in the 15th century as a Buddhist pagoda, but was mostly destroyed in the 19th century during the course of the Taiping rebellion. However, the tower is now under reconstruction once again
During the earlier days, only a few have collections of this kind of art pieces because they were very rare then that only the rich people can afford to buy. Today, because of mass production, they are now readily available anywhere else in the world.

Here in San Francisco, there are many interesting antique shops that feature really incredible porcelain pieces, but none so amazing as the one that I have dubbed “Foppish Goat”. It is a statue of a French Man (Louis XVI era), in his bloomers and jacket and heeled shoes, all colorful with long blond curls, and tiny glasses. He is riding a goat – who is also wearing tiny glasses. It is without a doubt the most hilarious piece of art I’ve ever come across. I wish I could have bought it…
