Socio-cultural history of tea had not been well-studied field in the Soviet historiography, but in the recent years, some of historians work on this theme because of the diversification of subjects in the Russian historiography. The paper provides an overview of early encounters of tea in Russia in the sixteenth and seventeenth century, comparing with other beverages that were drunk at that time. The paper sheds light on the two supply routes of tea to Russia, one from Mongolia and China, and the other from Europe. Drinking of brick tea did not become a custom in the 18th century, but tea consumption had bloomed since 19th century, rapidly increasing the import of tea. The main part of the paper clarifies how Russian- Chines trade at Khakhta had been interrelated to the consumption of tea in Russia. Finally, the paper shows how the Russian tea culture formation followed a different path from that of the tea culture of Europe.

  • Teahouses and the Tea Art: a Study on the Current Trend of Tea Culture in China and the Changes in Tea Drinking Tradition
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by NORA - Norwegian Open Research Archives Teahouses and the Tea Art: A Study on the Current Trend of Tea Culture in China and the Changes in Tea Drinking Tradition LI Jie Master's Thesis in East Asian Culture and History (EAST4591 – 60 Credits – Autumn 2015) Department of Culture Studies and Oriental Languages Faculty of Humanities UNIVERSITY OF OSLO 24 November, 2015 © LI Jie 2015 Teahouses and the Tea Art: A Study on the Current Trend of Tea Culture in China and the Changes in Tea Drinking Tradition LI Jie http://www.duo.uio.no Print: University Print Center, University of Oslo II Summary The subject of this thesis is tradition and the current trend of tea culture in China. In order to answer the following three questions “ whether the current tea culture phenomena can be called “tradition” or not; what are the changes in tea cultural tradition and what are the new features of the current trend of tea culture; what are the endogenous and exogenous factors which influenced the change in the tea drinking tradition”, I did literature research from ancient tea classics and historical documents to summarize the development history of Chinese tea culture, and used two month to do fieldwork on teahouses in Xi’an so that I could have a clear understanding on the current trend of tea culture. It is found that the current tea culture is inherited from tradition and changed with social development. Tea drinking traditions have become more and more popular with diverse forms.

  • Still Life: Tea Set
    Language through Art: An ESL Enrichment Curriculum (Beginning) Information for Teaching Still Life: Tea Set Jean-Étienne Liotard (Swiss, 1702–89) About 1781–83 Oil on canvas mounted on board 14 7/8 x 20 5/16 in. 84.PA.57 Background Information Chinese porcelain and tea drinking were popular in Europe when Jean-Étienne Liotard was born. In this painting of teatime disarray, a tray is set with a teapot, lidded vase (perhaps containing an extra supply of tea leaves), plate of bread and butter, sugar bowl with tongs, milk jug, and six cups, saucers, and spoons. A large bowl holding a teacup and saucer could also be used for dumping the slops of cold tea and used tea leaves. By the time Liotard painted this work in the late 1700s, tea drinking had become fashionable among the middle class as well as the upper class. This is one of five known depictions of china tea sets that he created around 1783. About the Artist Jean-Étienne Liotard (Swiss, 1702–89) Liotard first trained as a painter in Geneva. While in his twenties, he sought his fortune in Paris, where he studied in a prominent painter's studio. Later he traveled to Italy and throughout the Mediterranean region and finally settled in Constantinople for four years. Intrigued by the native dress, he grew a long beard and acquired the habit of dressing as a Turk, earning himself the nickname "the Turkish painter." While in Constantinople, he painted portraits of members of the British colony. For the remainder of his life, Liotard traveled throughout Europe painting portraits in pastels.

D. Boyer usée de del’École Nancy, cliché © Nancy, m « Une villa moderne » Ce titre est celui de l’un des premiers articles 1 consacrés par la presse à la villa Majorelle en 1902. L’auteur y manifeste son admiration pour le caractère novateur de cette maison construite « par un artiste pour un artiste ». La villa Majorelle est élevée dans les années 1901-1902 , dans ce qui est encore la banlieue peu urbanisée de Nancy. Louis Majorelle décide de construire, au milieu d’un parc arboré, ses ateliers et sa villa. Il dénomme celle-ci Jika en l’honneur de son épouse Jeanne Kretz (initiales JK). Cette villa est le fruit d’une collaboration entre un architecte, Henri Sauvage , qui débute sa carrière, et un industriel d’art déjà reconnu, Louis Majorelle . Les deux hommes se connaissent car ils fréquentent les mêmes lieux parisiens, l’atelier du sculpteur Alexandre Charpentier en particulier. Ils y côtoient d’autres artistes, tels Hector Guimard et le peintre Francis Jourdain, qui participa à la décoration de la villa Majorelle.

The dates for our meetings in 2019 and 2020 are listed below. Some of the information is necessarily provisional or has had to be changed since the last Newsletter so please do check this list before setting out to attend a meeting. The ECC visit to Sherborne Castle and Gardens on 22 May 2019 was a great success.

Sherborne’s porcelain collection is celebrated for its Kakiemon with Chinese, Meissen, Chantilly and English ceramics plus rare Chelsea vases, Chelsea/Derby pieces, an armorial Chamberlains’ Worcester service, a Minton desert service and Bow and Isleworth items. Following a talk by an Archivist, we were given a tour through the castle when the ropes preventing close-up viewing of the ceramic cabinets were removed. We also had a special viewing of the pieces in store. You should by now have received the latest Transactions plus two additional volumes containing the papers given at two ECC seminars: Influences and inspiration – 400 years of Japanese porcelain and Neoclassical ceramics.

Nimmen: Henry van de Velde Year in Germany and Belgium: Part One Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide 12, no. 2 (Autumn 2013) Henry van de Velde Year in Germany and Belgium: Part One Honoring the 150th birthday of painter, architect, and designer Henry van de Velde, Google posted a celebratory doodle on April 3, 2013. It was not a global doodle like the glitzy Kiss commemorating Gustav Klimt, displayed around the world in 2012. The pastel tribute to van de Velde could be seen in only a handful of continental markets: Belgium, where he was born in 1863; France, where in 1884 the young painter studied for a few months in Paris with Carolus- Duran and where in 1895 he created three sensational rooms for Siegfried Bing’s new gallery L’Art Nouveau; Austria, where he showed furniture at the Eighth Vienna Secession exhibition in late 1900; Germany, where he lived with his wife and growing family from 1900 until 1917; the Netherlands, where he settled in the 1920s; and Switzerland, where he died in 1957.
