Ancient art meets modern technology. I love these kinds of things. This time its a ceramic shelled mobile phone that was unveiled by the designer from designer in Jingdezhen. This province has been known as China’s porcelain capital and the phone design is inspired by the traditional Chinese art of ink painting.
