Antique painting on porcelain "Fisherman". Europe 19th century

Paintings on porcelain have a number of distinctive advantages over conventional oil canvases. This is largely due to the unique properties of porcelain:

-first of all, porcelain is a durable and strong material. Paintings on porcelain do not decay over time, and also do not require complex restoration after many years

-paints on canvas or paper may fade over time. Porcelain paintings, on the other hand, easily avoid this due to the firing of the product, glaze and underglaze painting. The colors in these paintings remain bright for many years
