I met Bo and Allison Jia more than a decade ago and learned about their kiln in China where they create Middle Kingdom Porcelain which is the perfect balance of old and new design. Since then I have used their vases for numerous projects and have had the thrill of collaborating on design for a couple custom vessels.

I am using these mini-vases (yes the metallic ones are porcelain) to decorate a shelf that surrounds a room where an August wedding ceremony will take place. After dinner we will box them up for take-home gifts.
