Since well over half the ceramics in the collection were made at China's main porcelain producing centre, Jingdezhen in Jiangxi province, the wares from these kilns provide the subject for this colloquy. The Jingdezhen in kilns themselves and their products have provided some of the most fascinating archaeological finds in the People's Republica of China in recent years, and we were fortunate to have two speakers from China with first-hand knowledge of this important excavated material. Other contributors pursued a range of topics including technological developments, the organization of the kilns, the significance of ceremonial wares, specific decorative motifs, their origins and evolution, archaism, trading networks, the wares made for particular markets, and the influence of missionaires." excerpt from the foreword by Rosemary E. Scott, Curator, March 1993. Good/No Jacket.
