This porcelain lady’s curvy look may evoke prehistoric Venus figurines, but a modern form and material recall more traditional, collector’s porcelain figurines. This high-quality porcelain figurine was fired at 2220º F (1220º C). It was subtly decorated with a genuine 12% gold and fired again at 1526º F (830º C). Beneath the first layer of white porcelain is a layer of porcelain tinged with cobalt pigment. The floral ornament resulted from precise engraving in the first layer of porcelain.
