Qing Dynasty porcelain continues to inspire contemporary artists and designers, serving as a rich source of ideas for new forms, decorations, and concepts, demonstrating the enduring legacy of its craftsmanship and artistic innovation.

The connection is often indirect, but still a key underlying element of the overall aesthetic sensibility of the time.
