Hand Painted Porcelain
Each piece of porcelain is hand painted by artist Rosemary Thomas, who creates the
designs on each item. Using
the principles of art and her
natural God given talents,
she has chosen porcelain to
be her canvas. The porcelain is
made with generations of quality
and has been hand selected to
meet her standards of excellence.
The paint used is comprised of
several minerals, combined with
oils to create beautiful colors and
textures—giving each piece of
porcelain its own one-of-a-kind
identity. When
painting
porcelain,
the artist
uses several
coats. Between
each coat,
the piece is kiln fired and checked
for quality. Using 24-karat gold trim, each piece has the gold applied and is kiln fired for a final time.
Rosemary started hand-painting porcelain in 1973. Her mother, Nebraska artist E. V. Conner and Rosemary started the business together and also taught classes to others in Nebraska. In 1985, their business went into wholesaling their products at wholesale gift markets in Nebraska with permanent showrooms in gift markets in Kansas City, Minneapolis, Chicago, Denver and Atlanta. While they enjoyed what they were doing, they decided to downsize a bit, realizing they were truly artists and not machines that produce items one dozen at a time. Rosemary and her mother worked together producing beautiful hand painted china for 30 years. Her mother was a free spirit and hand painted what she desired, while Rosemary painted most of the orders and commissions. Through the years their hand painted porcelain has been taken to shipped to Japan, Canada, Puerto Rico, Ireland, Saudi Arabia and throughout the United States.
