Pith paper is a delicate, spongy material made from the pith of the Tetrapanax papyrifer plant rather than pressed rice. Artists during the nineteenth century used this absorbent surface for gouache and watercolour paintings because it catches pigments with striking vibrancy.

How should I hang these paintings?

These framed works require walls away from direct sunlight and excessive moisture to protect the fragile paper supports and watercolours. Glass fronts already safeguard the surface, but stable indoor environments prevent the wood frames and paper from degrading over time.

Are these works hand painted?

The pieces listed in this category are original hand-painted watercolours, gouache, and ink works on paper or silk. Artists in export workshops produced them individually using traditional brush techniques rather than mechanical printing methods.

How do I date these paintings?

Dating relies on stylistic clues, framing methods, and materials such as pith paper that point to nineteenth century production. Many examples link directly to Qing dynasty export output and specific periods like the Regency or Edwardian eras through their frames and dealer records.
