About the Item
In the realm of artistic alchemy, Zao Wou-Ki's limited edition plate, "Pierre de Ciel," crafted by Bernardaud, unfolds as a poetic composition in Limoges porcelain—a masterpiece that transcends the ordinary.
This numbered piece, marked as 92 out of 150, is not just a plate; it's a canvas of delicate artistry where Zao Wou-Ki's vision harmonizes with Bernardaud's mastery. "Pierre de Ciel" transforms into a visual sonnet, an exploration of form and sky captured on the pristine canvas of Limoges porcelain.
The plate beckons observers to immerse themselves in the fusion of artistic brilliance and meticulous craftsmanship. Zao Wou-Ki's distinctive style, marked by fluid brushstrokes and celestial hues, finds an exquisite expression in the delicate medium of Limoges porcelain. Each stroke carries a whispered tale, and every celestial hue resonates with the artist's ethereal vision.
Beyond its utilitarian role, this plate metamorphoses into a collectible gem—a limited edition piece that encapsulates the essence of Zao Wou-Ki's artistry and Bernardaud's commitment to porcelain craftsmanship. It stands as a testament to the enchantment that unfolds when the worlds of two artistic masters intertwine.

Zao Wou-Ki
Zao Wou-Ki was born in Beijing, China, on February 13, 1921, to a wealthy family descended from the Song Dynasty.
French-educated Chinese artist Lin Fengmian was Wou-Ki’s teacher at the China Academy of Art from 1935–41 and encouraged him to study abroad in Paris. Wou-Ki made the move in 1948 with a substantial amount of financial backing and later adopted France as his new home, remaining in the country, besides a few short trips abroad, until his death.
In Paris, Wou-Ki quickly joined a large postwar French art circle, composed of key writers, poets, painters and cultural figures, including Joan Miró, Pablo Picasso, Riopelle and Vieira da Silva, among others. This networking helped position himself at the top of the Lyrical Abstraction movement. By his mid-30s, Wou-Ki had decided to devote his artistic career to abstract painting that blended Eastern and Western stylistic traditions.
In 2011, Wou-Ki was referred to in art publications as the top-selling living Chinese artist. He died in Nyon, Switzerland, on April 9, 2013, at the age of 93.
