Watercolors Become Permanent in China Patterns

Block China Company makes a myriad of china patterns, a great many of which feature flowers and fruit. Some of the most beautiful are derived from a series of watercolors painted by Mary Lou Goertzen.The subject, flower, fruit or vegetable, is drawn with a black outline and includes a few leaves and stem or vine. Suitable colors are added to the flower, fruit or vegetable and part of the plant to bring the pattern to life. The china body is usually one of Block's modern lines and the combination of the modern pattern and china body is very pleasing. Together they make the china easily identifiable to the Block China Company. Take a look below to see if you agree with me.
