British ceramicist Felicity Aylieff has worked regularly in Jingdezhen, one of China's principle porcelain production centres. Using local artisans to produce wares to her specification, she decorates the resulting pots in a range of styles and techniques, adding a personal and contemporary twist to traditional Chinese ceramic decorative styles. In this case the delicate colours of over-glaze 'fencai' enamels have been used.
