With the continuous improvement of technology, natural colored stones, pebbles, shells, mother-of-pearl, precious stones, jade and artificial glass breeders, ceramics, wood and so on have become the raw materials for inlay.
In the long-term development process, mosaic art has accumulated many important technical means, mainly including direct mosaic method, prefabrication method, reverse paste method, positive paste method and so on. In addition to plane inlay, it can also be inlaid on the relief, which can further enhance the three-dimensional sense of the inlay.
After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the method of relief inlay was widely used in the decoration of various handicrafts. In the middle and late Qing dynasty, there were also relief mosaics that embedded the stories of opera characters in different "places", such as porcelain mosaics and bone mosaics.
Mosaic handicrafts have the advantages of firmness, sun resistance, moisture resistance and difficult discoloration. The texture of materials and the resulting modeling, color, light and shadow effects add artistic charm to mosaic handicrafts, showing a rough, rich, luxurious and gorgeous aesthetic feeling.
