Unique technique displayed

Acclaimed Chinese craftsman Li Yixuan has produced a set of porcelain vases using the unique "knife-drawing" method as a tribute to the 60th anniversary of New China's founding.

Each of the Vases of the Five Great Mountains features a depiction of one of China's five most famous mountains. Li was the first to develop the knife-drawing method, which fuses traditional Chinese painting and Western oil painting styles. The show also features calligraphy by Aisin Gioro Yuren and Li Shuqi.
