Ceramic -- a centuries-long bond between #China and #France.

Myrtille Bouvret, a French ceramic designer, posted pictures of a porcelain sculpture she made recently and shared the creative inspiration with her fans on Instagram.

It has been six years since Bouvret completed her study at #Jingdezhen Ceramic University (#JCU) in China and started running a design studio in the southwestern French city of Limoges, widely known for its porcelain.
