[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 264551, member: 2844"]Macau is a former Portuguese colony in China, near Hongkong, and currently has the same status as Hongkong, with more freedom than in the rest of China. The bodies of Macau porcelain are often made in China proper, and decorated in Macau. The Macau style is generally Cantonese (very decorated, bright colours) except in a more demure way, with muted colours. Occasionally there is Portuguese influence in the design. These Neiman Marcus commissioned vases show Portuguese influence, those blue 'cracks', a fun detail that is also seen on some Portuguese pottery and 'azulejos', wall tiles.[/QUOTE]
