Thanks to the famous Forest of Steles located in Xi’an, the city has become known for its excellent collections of calligraphy masterpieces.

Green Porcelain 青瓷器
Most often used for making teapots, this special method of porcelain production renders the material dainty yet resistant. In regards to the design, blues and greens prevail with traditional floral themes seen most often.

Paper Cuttings 剪纸
Paper cutting is widely practiced throughout China, but residents of Shaanxi province are particularly fond of the art. Not only are the paper cuttings themselves viewed as merry decorations, the act of creating them is viewed as an art form and a celebratory activity, and is most often done around weddings and Spring Festival. The cuttings can be likened to extremely ornate paper dolls, and often depict symbols of luck, prosperity and happiness.

Tang Pottery Replicas 唐三彩
Animal figurines, plates, teacups and vases molded, glazed and fired in the Tang style remind us that Xi’an was the nation’s capital during the Tang Dynasty. Do not believe any merchant claiming to sell the real thing: as Tang originals would be around 1300 years old, and therefore priceless. The replicas, however, are no less pretty for being recently produced. Glazed in yellow, green and white or yellow, green and brown, these pieces are often referred to as “Tang tri-color ceramics”.
