It must be close to magic to make something beautiful. To see people transfixed in the fruits of your labour. To know your work was worth it. When you see a pattern this intricate, it seems as impossibly perfect as crop circles or the pyramids. Not that this is a conspiracy. Not yet.
The last traditional Chinese dynasty, the Qing empire ruled for nearly three centuries. During the late seventeenth century, the field of porcelain achieved precision previously unimagined. The pretty pink patterns show interlacing tiers of complex octagonal design. On the inside is a series of spirals and closely spaced circles - an extraordinary show of skill.
