Porcelain blank White-ware and basic colors and few lusters (not Gold/Platinum) will be provided.

For painting we will need round soft, but springy and very pointed brushes - SABLE or SYNTHETIC (sizes from 00 up to 4 - individual for each colour). Squirrel hair brushes are not suitable for the Turpentine we will be mixing colours with and especially for lustres.

Fine pointed Calligraphy nib/pen - very difficult to find anywhere the right one. Must be made from stainless steel (silver colour), very hard but just a little springy, with sharp pointed end. (when you push it against table - it does NOT split open easily into two parts). In USA I was buying them in Art stores: N#291 (no name of the company), but could be another number as well - what is important are the above mentioned qualities. German company ”Brauser” are good too - N# 511.
