Chinese porcelain
Chinese porcelain was in centuries gone by considered the finest in the world. This ewer, ca. 1720, gives us an idea why. (Actually, I'm not sure this piece really qualifies as "beautiful," but it is so handsome I am unable to resist posting it here.)
Lovely shape!

I never thought of that, but I see what you mean. I always feel so honored to have you as even an occasional reader, Nancy.
