Handmade oval porcelain bead

Porcelain is a fine, delicate material that stands as one of the proudest achievements of Chinese culture. However, for us, it is a nostalgic element, reminding us of the comfort and charm associated with the homes of our ancestors. Why do porcelain beads evoke this nostalgia? Because, like most items in our grandmothers’ households, they are handmade and often hand-decorated. Today, they are used in the creation of vintage-style jewelry, decorations, and souvenirs. This style has a large following, especially among artistic circles. In some cases, the hand-painted decoration is replaced with a print, making the bead more affordable without sacrificing the detail and perfection of the design. In other cases, the bead is simply glazed in various colors and finishes. These beads are simple but beloved due to the material and the aura they carry. Porcelain beads, along with their fired coatings, are durable, do not break, and are resistant to chipping—another advantage worth considering.
