Expressions in Blue: Monumental Porcelain by Felicity Aylieff

This book reveals insight into the process and challenges of creating such ground-breaking work, showcasing extraordinary new pieces inspired by Kew’s rich archives of botanical illustrations, from the ‘new Ming’ vases to a collection of stylised Fencai enamelled vessels. The text includes a personal testimonial from Aylieff and an essay by art historian John-Paul Stonard in celebration of this impressive body of work. With a foreword by Adrian Sassoon.

Over 100 photographs showcase these monumental hand-thrown works in vivid colour, including incredible 5-metre-tall vases, all hand-painted with stunning cobalt oxides.
