Five craft lines, one standard
Each line is scored against the same seven-dimension selection model. Only porcelain currently has real objects, measured and photographed; the others publish their craft and admission criteria until their makers and documents are ready.

The first maker series
Five generations of one snow-scene brush
Yuan Jinming trained under Yan Yangping, a representative inheritor of Jingdezhen's traditional famille-rose technique. The line reaches back through Xiong Guorui, Xiong Xiaofeng and He Xuren.
Snow is the hardest negative space in Chinese painting: the bone of the mountains and trees has to hold before any snow can fall. On porcelain, glass white is built up thick, layer by layer, rather than left blank.
Documented recognition
Only credentials with physical certificate photographs are shown here.
Works by the artist are held in the Jiangxi Provincial Museum, accession numbers SC10000721 and SC10000715.
A private enquiry, not a checkout
Each piece exists only once. Guide prices are shown so you can compare pieces; availability and the final price are confirmed by email, so nothing here can sell an object that has already found a home.
