The gallery presents a wide range of Chinese ceramics, from earthenware made for ritual burial in tombs to the finest porcelains from the Imperial kilns. The display spans 333 sq m, an area that includes Level 3 of the museum’s new Kwek Hong Png Wing. Interpretive materials explore how ceramics were made, used, and valued throughout Chinese history. 3. Key highlights include (i) The display of the lustrous white porcelain, including lively and delightfully modelled figures, produced at the Dehua kilns in Fujian province. The ACM’s large collection of Dehua porcelain is one of the finest and most comprehensive in the world. (ii) A selection of exquisite Song dynasty ceramics from the Edmond Chin collection, including extremely rare examples of Guan (official) kiln ware. The five classic wares of the Song dynasty – Ding, Jun, Ru, Guan, and Ge – have been prized by emperors, scholars, and collectors since their inception. (iii) Vase with a chrysanthemum base – This vase is an artistic tour-de- force, with the solid body of the vessel contrasting with the apparently fragile flower underneath. It reflects a blend of native Han and Central Asian taste – another example is from 12th-century Hebei under the Liao dynasty. (iv) Flute – Porcelain flutes were rare and luxurious versions of musical instruments normally carved from bamboo.

  • The Reception of Chinese and Japanese Porcelain in Europe
    The Reception of Chinese and Japanese Porcelain in Europe Rose Kerr Introduction In the last twenty years, a great deal of new work has been done on the trade in porcelain between China, Japan and Europe. The extent of research activity is revealed by the impressive six-page, double column, and bibliography in the catalogue which accompanied an exhibition at the British Museum in London from July to November, 1990.1 This exhibition, entitled "Porcelain for Palaces", looked at one aspect of the trade, namely the fashion for Japan in Europe in the period 1650-1750. It was only one of many recent projects undertaken in Europe, America and Japan to consider the East-West trade in ceramics during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Indeed, the only country to show scant interest has been China herself.2 Most useful study has been carried out in the West and in Japan, through archaeological an1 archival work: exploratory trips to the Chinese mainland have reveale1 li1.tle of interest.3 This paper will attempt to sketch a few new details upon this expansive background. Its first subject will be a very brief overview of European trade in the East during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries1 the second part will deal with bulk exports or tableware; while the third will examine the types of Chinese and Japanese porcelain used for luxury display in European palaces and great houses. European Trade in the East in the seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries Export porcelains make an attractive item for study because they are beautiful, and because they survive complete or as sherds.
