Charger with a qilin, anonymous, c. 1350
This charger is painted with a qilin, a mythical beast. According to legend, a qilin has the scaly skin of a dragon, the body of a deer and the hooves and tail of an ox. It is a benign creature, which refrains from stepping on insects or eating live grass. The qilin possesses both male (qi) and female (lin) powers.

24 Times SMUG Made Walls Look More Real Than Life

I’ve always been drawn to SMUG's art—there’s just something amazing about how he brings everyday faces to life on such a massive scale. Known worldwide for his super-realistic portraits, SMUG’s murals are incredibly detailed and often tower up to 14 stories high! His work isn’t just impressive; it’s a mix of creativity and skill, with each piece telling its own story through light, shadow, and careful detail. When SMUG starts a mural, he’s not just copying a photo; he’s […]

Redingote or Great-Coat Dress, anonymous, c. 1786 - c. 1789
The origin of the redingote lies in long men’s coats with a cutaway front, the riding coat. It is a striking example of the influence men’s fashion exerted on women’s fashion. A redingote for ladies consisted of an overcoat or gown, and a loose skirt in a contrasting colour, which enhanced the coat-like effect. Olive green and pale pink were a popular combination at the end of the 18th century.

Lidded Vase, anonymous, c. 1700
There were many porcelain connoisseurs in Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries. Monarchs as well as wealthy individuals assembled huge collections. August the Strong, Elector of Saxony and King of Poland, was the greatest collector. He filled entire palaces with porcelain. He had the pieces marked on their bases with incised numbers and symbols. These two large vases came from his collection.

I built a cupboard for my moms mocca cup collection today. From click parquet wood parts, so there is a small groove to rest the saucers in and have them stand upright. My jigsaw is not the greatest but with some correction dremeling I got the parts to fit into one another. I mixed the Color from my paint pigments to match her other furniture. :) dimension is 1sq m. The cup is just my stand in.

Nachdem ich nun einige Male darauf angesprochen wurde, habe ich meine Ansible Collection tronde.nextcloud in Galaxy importiert: galaxy.ansible.com/ui/repo/pub

Ich freue mich, wenn sie euch gefällt und nützlich ist.

Hedwig beaker, anonymous, c. 1100 - c. 1200
This is one of sixteen extant Hedwig glasses, a type of beaker named after Saint Hedwig of Silesia (1174–1234), who owned two of them. According to an inscription on the bottom of this glass, it belonged a German count in 1643. The glass was then thought to be a thousand years old. In fact, it probably originated in the 12th century and was made in Sicily.

Comb in the form of two dragonflies, Lucien Gaillard, c. 1904
Forms derived from nature were an important source of inspiration around 1900. Gaillard’s astonishing technical virtuosity is demonstrated in his jewels with lifelike insects. For instance, he made parts of the dragonflies’ wings in plique-à-jour, a vitreous enamelling technique, in which the enamel is not applied to a metal base, but rather set in a gossamer thin wire framework.
