I am going to tell you a short story about a man that was so fascinated by the Chinese porcelain that found him in front of a very important decision that had to be taken in seconds. While he was out shopping for a gift with the occasion of a friend’s birthday he saw an interesting multicultural kind of rustic, boutique. Unable to resist the temptation he entered the store and started to look around somehow hoping that inside there was the perfect present waiting for him. While walking through, a beautiful set of dishes attracted his attention. It was Chinese porcelain. Seeing the amazing dragon designs, the fantastic colors, the way the bright light was reflected by the smooth surface of a plate, he could not resist it. More unconscious then aware of what he was doing, he took advantage by the carelessness of the shop assistant and walked away carrying the Chinese porcelain set with him.

His passion for the Chinese culture and habits helped him purchase something he could not afford but something that he appreciated a lot. He finds Chinese porcelain the finest porcelain ever manufactured. From shape to size, from sculpture to color the Chinese porcelain is for him the living proof of exquisite taste and finesse. Everything that is exotic about the Chinese porcelain bewitches his senses and teleports his mind into another world made out of everything that China is about.

Very proud of his Chinese porcelain pieces, but not proud of the way he got them, this man uses them only for special occasions and treats them with extra care. Although he has the Chinese porcelain for some time now, every piece is intact and glamorous as it was from the beginning. As for the gift he bought for his friend, we will never know.
