Their skills of hand-painting, hand-rubbed lacquering and hand-tooling have been passed down for many generations. We are proud to support them in their quest to keep their age-old techniques alive for future generations. Many of the artists are hired out of semi-retirement to work from home, training the next generation to become master craftsmen. These masters are highly respected in their craft and their culture which have survived through many Chinese dynasties and continue to produce valuable and desirable pieces for your home decor.<br><br><a href="http://www.overstock.com/cgi-bin/d2.cgi?SEC_IID=12756&amp;PAGE=STATICPAGE&amp;PAGE_ID=2432"><span class="links">What is Worldstock?</span></a><br><br><i>The handcrafted touch of artisan skill will create variations in color, size and design.
