Porcelain Rose
For over 4000 years, porcelain has been in use in China. It's made of a hard white ceramic clay that is often referred to as china or chinaware due its Chinese origins. For a long period of time, the Chinese made the finest porcelain in the world. It was so treasured that during the Song Dynasty (960-1279), royal factories were started by Chinese emperors so that porcelain could be made for their lavish palaces.
Many collectors of porcelain consider the vases and bowls produced during the Ming and Qing dynasties to be artistic treasures. In 1500, the secret of how to make porcelain was discovered by both the Japanese and the Koreans. Prior to the discovery, traders brought Chinese porcelain to Europe in the early 1100's where it was admired for its artistic beauty. It was so rare and expensive, however, that only the very wealthy could afford to have it. Over time, porcelain was manufactured all over Europe which included production in France, Germany, Italy and England. It eventually went on to compete with the highly coveted Chinese porcelain.
Given the beauty found in porcelain vases, dishes and even dolls, wouldn't it be amazing to have your favorite flower immortalized in the same material? Luckily, with the popularity of trying to keep fresh flowers as long as possible, porcelain flowers happen to be just another in a long line of materials that are being used to make flowers. Given the rose is the most popular flower of them all, it's no surprise to find that porcelain roses are in high demand.
Like all porcelain pieces, porcelain roses are hand crafted and painted. Some porcelain roses are so lifelike, you can't tell them apart from the real thing. Porcelain roses can be purchased in full bloom or in bud style. You can opt to purchase just one or an entire bouquet. Porcelain roses are also available in wide variety of colors just like the real thing so you can choose one color or several.
Porcelain is highly valued for its beauty and strength and it is characterized by its delicate appearance and translucence. There are three kinds of porcelain: hard-paste porcelain, soft-paste porcelain, and bone china. The differences between the three are characterized by the types of material used in the making of each one; this material is the paste which is made to make the body of any number of pieces (like plates or bowls).
While it's true that we tend to think of giving roses only on special occasions as an expression of our love for someone, the fact is, roses can be given as a gift at any time of the year. A porcelain rose makes just as lovely a gift as the real thing but unlike the real thing, will last a lifetime.
