This exquisite print, created with gouache on paper, showcases the meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into every step of this age-old trade.

Their expertise and precision highlight their deep understanding of the artistry involved in handling these precious objects. The composition beautifully captures both the architectural elements of the workshop and its functional purpose as a space dedicated to crafting and packaging fine ceramics. The boxes neatly stacked against each other create an organized chaos, showcasing not only their practicality but also their aesthetic appeal.
