  • 1 the Willow Pattern
    The East India Company at Home, 1757-1857 – UCL History The Willow Pattern: Dunham Massey By Francesca D’Antonio Please note that this case study was first published on blogs.ucl.ac.uk/eicah in June 2014. For citation advice, visit: http://blogs.uc.ac.uk/eicah/usingthewebsite. Unlike other ‘objects studies’ featured in the East India Company At Home 1757-1857 project, this case study will focus on a specific ceramic ware pattern rather than a particular item associated with the East India Company (EIC). With particular attention to the contents of Dunham Massey, Greater Manchester, I focus here on the Willow Pattern, a type of blue and white ‘Chinese style’ design, which was created in 1790 at the Caughley Factory in Shropshire. The large-scale production of ceramic wares featuring the same design became possible only in the late eighteenth century after John Sadler and Guy Green patented their method of transfer printing for commercial use in 1756. Willow Pattern wares became increasingly popular in the early nineteenth century, allowing large groups of people access to this design. Despite imitating Chinese wares so that they recalled Chinese hard-stone porcelain body and cobalt blue decorations, these wares remained distinct from them, often attracting lower values and esteem. Although unfashionable now, they should not be merely dismissed as poor imitations by contemporary scholars, but rather need to be recognized for their complexities. To explore and reveal the contradictions and intricacies held within Willow Pattern wares, this case study asks two simple questions. First, what did Willow Pattern wares mean in nineteenth-century Britain? Second, did EIC families—who, as a group, enjoyed privileged access to Chinese porcelain—engage with these imitative wares and if so, how, why and what might their interactions reveal about the household objects? As other scholars have shown, EIC officials’ cultural understandings of China often developed from engagements with the materials they imported, as well as discussions of and visits to China.

  • China: Qing Dynasty Porcelain and Global Exchange Pre-Visit
    China: Qing Dynasty Porcelain and Global Exchange Pre-Visit Share this background information with students before your Distance Learning session. Grade Level: Grades 9-12 Collection: East Asian Art Culture/Region: China, East Asia Subject Area: History and Social Science Activity Type: Distance Learning WHY LOOK AT PLATES AND VASES? When visiting a relative or a fancy restaurant, perhaps you have dined on “fine china.” While today we appreciate porcelain dinnerware for the refinement it can add to an occasion, this conception is founded on centuries of exchange between Asian and Western markets. Chinese porcelain production has a long history of experimentation, innovation, and inspiration resulting in remarkably beautiful examples of form and imagery. At the VMFA, you will examine objects from a small portion of this history — the 18th century during the Qing Dynasty — to expand your understanding of global exchange in this era. Because they were made for trade outside of China, these objects are categorized as export porcelain by collectors and art historians. Review the background information below, and think of a few answers you want to look for when you visit VMFA. QING DYNASTY Emperors, Arts, and Trade Around the end of the 16th century, a Jurchin leader named Nurhaci (1559–1626) brought together various nomadic groups who became known as the Manchus. His forces quickly conquered the area of present-day Manchuria, and his heirs set their sights on China. In 1636 the Manchus chose the new name of Qing, meaning “pure,” to emphasize their intention to purify China by seizing power from the Ming dynasty.

Until we can meet again, please stay safe and healthy. Essays: East and West: Chinese Export Porcelain https://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/ewpor/hd_ewpor.htm Introduced to Europe in the fourteenth century, Chinese porcelains were regarded as objects of great rarity and luxury. Through twelve examples you’ll see luxury porcelains that appeared in Europe in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, often mounted in gilt silver, which emphasized their preciousness and transformed them into entirely different objects. The Vibrant Role of Mingqui in Early Chinese Burials https://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/mgqi/hd_mgqi.htm Burial figurines of graceful dancers, mystical beasts, and everyday objects reveal both how people in early China approached death and how they lived. Since people viewed the afterlife as an extension of worldly life, these ceramic figurines, called mingqi or “spirit goods,” disclose details of routine existence and provide insights into belief systems over a thousand-year period. Mingqi were popularized during the formative Han dynasty (206 B.C.–220 A.D.) and endured through the turbulent Six Dynasties period (220–589) and the later reunification of China in the Sui (581–618) and Tang (618–907) dynasties. There are eleven ceramic burial goods (and one limestone) as great examples of mingqui. Indian Pottery https://www.veniceclayartists.com/tag/indian-pottery/ The essay is informative but short.

  • Starring Matt Damon and Christian Bale)
    SEPTEMBER 2019 a The 6 Questions All Good Stories Must Answer (Starring Matt Damon and Christian Bale) I have a confession to make: I'm hooked on trailers - and not the kind you hitch to your car or truck. It's probably because I love going to the movies, and a well-made trailer is a tantalizing taste of pleasure soon to come. It occurred to me recently, however, that a movie trailer could also be a useful tool when it comes to teaching storytelling. Think about it: at its essence a trailer is designed to sell you a story, and it has 2-3 minutes (in theaters) or 30-60 seconds (on TV) to convince you it's a good story. What defines a good story? There are numerous elements that contribute to any story's success, but one yardstick to measure that success is to ask how well the story answers six questions that the audience, whether they are consciously aware of it or not, will definitely ask: 1. Who is the story about? 2. What do they want? 3. What stands in their way that makes the pursuit interesting? 4. How do they respond to those barriers or obstacles? 5. What happens in the end? 6. What does it mean? I was reminded of these essential questions last week when I saw the trailer for "Ford v. Ferrari," a feature film starring Matt Damon and Christian Bale due in theaters this November. Based on a true story, the movie follows Damon and Bale (portraying auto racing legends Carroll Shelby and Ken Miles, respectively) as they try to win the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans.

The collection of Mrs. Henry Ford II to be offered this spring, comprises approximately 650 lots and is expected to realize in excess of $5 million across both the New York and London auctions.
