Blanc de Chine Menagerie

One of my favorite elements of Chinoiserie style is the use of Blanc de Chine, or essentially white porcelain or ceramic figures of all shapes, sizes and creeds. It's relatively easy to find beautiful white porcelain at various price points, allowing you to create a grouping that can be set against a dynamic background (color or wallpaper, for example) to create an instant focal point.

And I looove Blanc de Chine animals...a little menagerie of white porcelain to brighten your day. I saw a whole slew online and I'm debating which one to add to my collection:

 

The traditional whimsy monkey

 The chic avians

 The origami safari...I think these are my favorite

 The tough guy

Do you use Blanc de Chine in your own home? Even if you call it white porcelain? I think most of us at least own a touch...
