 Dear Joey,

 My camera and the lighting that I use are both very basic pieces and not professional quality by any means.
And, it came to trial and error.  I made many adjustments to the focus of the camera and lighting, moving back and forth between the computer downloads and the camera till everything or at least partials of the design elements came together in some of the photos. These and a few others are the only photos that I have on the pattern - and I can't see the design w/out the aid of the camera-or a magnifying lens and as a matter of fact, I had no idea the florals are found all around the sides till I looked at the pictures
(After a quick scan of Anhua examples on the internet from several museums and major auction houses, spotting the patterns in the photos wasn't a problem, however I was able to do so by expanding the patterns using magnification, much like what I was able to do in posting my photos )

Best,

Kevin
