Chinese ceramics, lacquer and gold from the 12th to the 14th century

This exhibition features a range of eighteen outstanding objects from the 12th – 14th century. The ceramics highlight classical kilns active during the Song, Yuan and Jin periods, such as Yaozhou celadons, Ding white wares and tea bowls from both north and south China. The diversity of the material – in shapes and glazes – reflects the richness of the Chinese ceramic tradition. This is complemented in the exhibition by gold and lacquer vessels from the same period.
