Mm-Mm Good and a Side of Soy Sauce

The Chinese are honing their artistic chops with serious prowess and stamina of late. In fact, figures from a recent Wall Street Journal piece indicate that the Asian art market is experiencing a boom time of epic proportions. Nero's first thought upon stumbling across the cheeky piece below was that I simply must design a room around it. Ersatz golden arches -- Mickey D's mimetics translated through traditional porcelain painting techniques -- utterly brilliant and pass the chopsticks, please. Globalization trumps tradition (or is it the other way around?) in a fashionable farce. This is the sort of stuff that whets Nero's appetite, folks, so go ahead and Super-Size me.

Especially to the tune of 16-grand ;)
At that rate it's not quite cheap eats, but we'll take it!
I seem to be having a, er, yen for it.
