elcome to the M. Ayo Porcelain website!
This site showcases contemporary handpainted porcelain Limoges boxes, vases, lamps, tiles, dinnerware (plates, tea sets, pitchers, cups and saucers), and enameling on glass. A variety of styles, techniques and subject matter—including portraiture, animals, florals, and landscapes—create unique, hand-painted china gifts. Seasonal items and personalized commissions will become family heirlooms, as well as the antiques and collectibles of tomorrow.
Porcelain tiles in a variety of sizes lend themselves well to portraits, which can be framed and hung for display. In addition to portraits, these tiles are ideal for floral arrangements and still life compositions. Photographs of memorable places can turn into extraordinary gifts when they become handpainted landscapes on china tiles.
Glass enameling is yet another technique used on glass vases, plates and lamps. Glossy sprays of flowers on colored glass are particularly appealing to those with Victorian tastes. Another artistic treatment of enameling on bisque eggs and ornaments produces wonderful collectibles of seasonal interest.
The exceptional feature of hand-painted porcelain is that it is original art work, not a decal or a print. When a piece is commissioned, it can be uniquely designed to suit the particular specifications of the purchaser. The possibilities with porcelain art are unlimited, so why limit yourself with limited editions or decals when you can have a one-of-a-kind porcelain art keepsake.
In addition to the hand-painted porcelain items, other categories feature a variety of traditional canvas art in oil, acrylic, pastel, colored pencil and mosaics. Although original paintings of still life compositions predominate, other artwork featuring landscape, portrait and floral arrangements can be found as well.
