Doll
-
Porcelain dolls can be a special gift for a little girl. Choose a porcelain doll that has the same color hair and eyes as the girl, or one wearing an outfit that makes her look like a character from the child's favorite book. Because porcelain dolls may become cracked or broken if the child plays with them, consider choosing a stand for the doll as well so that the girl can display it in her room.
Tea Set
-
Tea sets are classically made of porcelain. If you are shopping for an adult who enjoys drinking tea, choose an elegant set of cups, saucers and a teapot. You might envision porcelain tea sets as being old-fashioned and covered in painted-on flowers. If that style would not fit with the personality of the recipient, choose something that is a bit more modern, such as a brightly colored tea set or a tea set with a funky pattern, such as polka dots.

Painted Tiles
-
Make a homemade gift for someone in your life out of porcelain tiles. Pick up a large porcelain tile from a local home store. You could choose a simple white tile or a tile in another color that will coordinate with the recipient's home. Purchase paint from a local craft store that is made to be used on porcelain. Stencil or free-hand a design onto the porcelain tile and allow it to dry completely. Super-glue a picture hanger onto the back of the tile so that the recipient can hang it on the wall.
Vase
-
A porcelain vase can serve both as a decoration and as a way for the recipient to display flowers in her home. Choose a simple porcelain vase or a vase with a design painted onto it or carved onto it. Place some colorful flowers in the vase when you present it to the recipient for a bit of added appeal.
