  • Production and Trade of Porcelain in China, 1000-1500
    Production and Trade of Porcelain in China, 1000-1500 Shelagh Vainker Ashmolean Museum, Oxford Email: [email protected] Just as the Song dynasty (960-1279) has been identified by economic historians as a peak after which no significant developments took place, so it is a period of culmination in the manufacture of ceramics. Between the 10th and 12th centuries, green, black or white high- fired wares that had been produced for centuries were made with finer bodies, smoother and more complex glazes and in a greater range of shapes than ever before, and in unprecedented quantities. They also became admired and moreover collected as objects of aesthetic, cultural and monetary value, a practice that had previously been restricted to works of art such as calligraphy and painting, or to the jades and bronze vessels associated with high antiquity and the authority to rule. This was also however the period in which was established China’s most enduring and famous kiln site, Jingdezhen. To that extent the period is not only a technological peak, but a pivotal one during which the centre of the ceramics industry began its shift from north to south China. At the time when the northern kilns were producing pieces for the imperial court and wares that would be adopted into the canon of connoisseur’s collectibles, southern kilns were making pots for everyday local use, and for export. In many instances, these imitated the northern wares in both technology and style; all were part of a country-wide industry with a distribution of manufacturing centres that was unprecedented and has not been repeated, for it is notable that during the pre-eminence of the north in potting, the south was also rich in kiln sites and products, while once the shift south had occurred no significant industry continued in north China.

  • Blue-And-White Porcelain Also Known As Porcelain Ware in Underglazed Blue
    HONG KONG HERITAGE SERIES MADE IN HONG KONG Blue-and-white Porcelain also known as porcelain ware in underglazed blue www.heritage.gov.hkwww.heritage.gov.hk www.amo.gov.hkwww.amo.gov.hk www.heritage.gov.hk www.cnc.org.hkwww.cnc.org.hk www.amo.gov.hk www.cnc.org.hk Blue-and-white History and culture are not something farfetched. The above picture Porcelain piece shows a blue-and-white porcelain bowl unearthed in Hong Kong. It was originally made in the Wun Yiu Kiln Site at Tai Po. The Wun Yiu Kiln Site was in operation during the Ming and Qing dynasties and the early Republic period. At its height, the kilns pro- duced over 400,000 pieces of porcelain per year, and its products were sold to as far as Malaysia. Today, at the Wun Yiu Exhibition, one can still see these pieces of cultural relics that bore witness to the early cultural and economic developments of Hong Kong. Kaolinite , also named “ porcelain stone ” Kaolinite clay , also named “ porcelain clay ” Both are the main ingredients for making porcelain. They share the same chemical composition of aluminium silicate hydrox- ide, Al2Si2O5(OH)4 , which is a clay mineral. Their difference is that kaolinite is a rock material, while kaolinite clay is the silt formed from weathered kaolinite. In as early as the Neolithic period, the Chinese has been making use of kaolinite clay. Dur- ing the Yuan dynasty, the town of Jingdezhen has already mas- tered techniques to produce blue-and-white porcelain. Kaolinite was first discovered and put into application in China, thus China is regarded as the country which invented porcelain.

With the reconstitution of the Research Institute for the History of Natural Sciences in 1977, the work of fully integrating these discoveries with the historical record has begun to accelerate. It is perhaps symbolic of that transition that early in 1977 Dr. Hsia Nai published in K'ao-ku, the bimonthly Chinese journal of archeology, a general review of important publications over the last five years, as well as materials not yet published, bearing on the history of science and technol­ ogy. His article in effect reviewed the important finds of the entire Cultural Revolution era. No writer could have been more fully informed or more judicious in his evaluations. Hsia 's interest in technical history was largely responsible for the attention paid to it in China by archeologists, and for the willingness of arche­ ologists and historians to collaborate in the study of artifacts.

As the main host city, Jingdezhen, celebrated China’s ninth “Cultural Heritage Day” on June 14, 2014. After several thousand years’ inheritance and development, Jingdezhen now has unique and unmatched ceramic culture nationwide and even worldwide. It has many precious cultural heritage and immovable cultural relics, totally 770 pieces. Today Jingdezhen is endeavoring to find a way to inherit and develop the traditional techniques innovatively, facing the world with brand new and charming appearance. Introduction The word “china” in English not only means China, but also refers to porcelain. China has exported a large amount of porcelain since Han and Tang dynasties. Both the exquisite techniques of the Chinese porcelain and the rich history and culture expressed by it were highly appraised worldwide. People believed that only China could create such beautiful precious treasures, so they simply named porcelain from China as “china”. But another tale is more popular in Jingdezhen: China is the imitating translation of the Chinese characters “Chang Nan” (Chang Nan in Pinyin, which is the original name of Jingdezhen).
