Dear Terri,
Thank you for your kind words. This piece will be framed in a regular size frame with clips or it would be placed into foamboard with a mattboard on top and then put into a larger frame. Sometimes they are very pretty just sitting on a gold easel. I am currently painting an 18" oval tile.
Porcelain is very hard (it is used on the space shuttle) and I have had some unframed portrait pieces that have been dropped before with no breakage. One just has to care for it as they would a fine Ming vase. Thank you again for your interest. I appreciate it very much.
