Sign 'Love'In Chinese astrology, every animal is linked to an element depending on the exact time of your birth. The Water Dragon is considered flexible and is associated with intuition and sensitivity. They have a great understanding of deep emotions and can easily adapt to social situations. “The middle plate is a Water Dragon. The Water Dragon is the most important astrological symbol there is.” – Henk Schiffmacher The plate is part of a set consisting of three dragons: the Water Dragon, the Tribal Dragon, and the Blue Dragon. The Chinese zodiac sign of the dragon belongs to people born in 1940, 1952, 1964, 1988, 2000, or 2012. The dragon is seen as a powerful and charismatic creature and possesses the traits of pride, vibrancy, enthusiasm, irresistibility, spirit, success, extroversion, inspiration, and is well-loved. In Chinese astrology, there are also different elements. On the plates, you see the dragon depicted together with the element of water.

De Porceleyne Fles in Delft
Centuries-old craftsmanship lives on in De Porceleyne Fles. The screen printing technique, with its origins in eighteenth-century England, is still an essential part of the decorating process. Here, heritage, precision and craft come together in every ceramic object.
Even when the screen printing technique is used, the hand of the Royal Delft master painter is still part of the design. The first design is put on paper with a brush, using the same black paint. Once a final design has been made, it is sent to the printer. The printer scans it digitally and then turns it into a screen print.
This is divided into four separate layers for the four different shades of blue. It is then printed onto plastic films, and the films are exposed onto a screen printing frame. In this way the design transfers from the film to the frame. This is done four times for the different shades of blue, after which a carrier layer is added on top. That carrier holds the entire design together.
The transfer is then applied to the glazed product, after which it fuses with the glaze layer during the second firing.
