THE ORIENTAL CERAMIC SOCIETY PO Box 517 Cambridge CB21 5BE, U.K. Tel/Fax: + 44 (0) 1223 881328 Email address: ocslondon@btinternet.com * * * * * * * * * * * * * * We wish all our members a very happy and prosperous Year of the Dragon and look forward to welcoming you to our Spring programme of lectures and events. Our autumn programme began in October with a most interesting lecture by Professor Tadanori Yuba on Chinese porcelain found in Fustat, ably translated by Shinya Maezaki. Our Asia Week lecture was kindly sponsored by Sotheby’s and given by Yu Pei-chin of the National Palace Museum, Taiwan, on the subject of porcelain with Imperial poems by Emperor Qianlong. Bonhams also kindly sponsored a drinks reception following our lecture in November, given by Gregory Irvine of the V & A Museum on Japanese enamels, which was enjoyed by all the members present. Our December lecture was given by Prof. Dr. Uta Lauer of Stockholm University on the subject of Temmoku – a cultural history of Mount Tianmu. Below are details of our lecture programme for the first half of this year, which we hope you will enjoy, plus lecture dates for the remainder of 2012. For future programmes, we would be delighted to hear from members who know of any new research that could provide interesting lectures, or if members have specific topics that they would be like to be addressed in future lectures. The Society is rationalising its holdings of back copies of the Transactions. If members are interested in purchasing any of these please let us know, and we can send you details of the volumes that are still available. We also have catalogues from previous exhibitions for sale. * * * * * * * * * * * * SPRING PROGRAMME OF LECTURES All lectures will be held at 6:00 p.m. at the Society of Antiquaries of London, Burlington House, Piccadilly, London W1J 0BE, unless otherwise noted* Tuesday 17th January, 2012 Sheila Canby Islamic Art at the Met: renovation and revival The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York’s collection of Islamic art ranges in date from the seventh to the nineteenth century and reflects the great diversity and range of the cultural traditions of Islam, with works from Spain and Morocco to Central Asia and India. After being closed for eight years, the galleries for the art of the Arab Lands, Turkey, Iran, Central Asia, and Later South Asia reopened to the public on November 1, 2011. Consisting of fifteen rooms, the galleries are arranged by region and period. The improved traffic pattern allows visitors to enter from any of three different portals. It is hoped that the new galleries will revive an interest in the art of the regions represented and provide a more nuanced public view of the parts of the world in which Islam is or has been the majority religion. Since October 2009 Sheila Canby has been Patti Cadby Birch Curator in charge of the Islamic Art Department at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Previously, she worked for eighteen years as a curator of Islamic Art at the British Museum. Her publications include The Golden Age of Persian Art (1999), Hunt for Paradise (2003) and Shah 'Abbas: the Remaking of Iran' (2009).

Tuesday 21st February Dr. Clarissa von Spee Connecting Worlds: Modern Chinese Ink Paintings at the British Museum Twentieth century China witnessed the collapse of its old imperial system and the rise of a modern nation state. It was a century of war and revolution, as well as a period of reorientation, international encounters and cultural exchange. In their search for a modern Chinese identity, artists travelled and studied abroad. They gained a new perception of the past and the world. At the same time European museums started to exhibit and collect Chinese contemporary art. This lecture will explore the intercultural exchanges of the period as well as the connections of Chinese artists with Britain. Select paintings from the British Museum collection will be highlighted and, in particular, the circumstances that brought these paintings into the museum’s permanent collection. The featured paintings will be shown in the upcoming exhibition ‘Modern Chinese Ink Painting: A Century of New Directions’. Dr. Clarissa von Spee is curator of the Chinese calligraphy, paintings, prints and the Central Asian collections at the British Museum. She received her Ph.D. from Heidelberg University. Von Spee is author of Wu Hufan. A Twentieth Century Connoisseur in Shanghai (2008), A Perfect Brush. Chinese Paintings 1300-1900 (2010) and editor of the exhibition catalogue The Printed Image in China from the 8th to the 21st centuries (2010). She is currently preparing the exhibition ‘Modern Chinese Ink Painting: A Century of New Directions’ (3 May – 2 September 2012) at the British Museum. Tuesday 13th March The annual Woolf Jade lecture Susan Stronge Jade at the Mughal Court in the 17th century When the English merchant William Hawkins lived in Agra between 1609 and 1611, he wrote an invaluable account of the contents of the royal Mughal treasuries. In one, he reported, there were blocks of ‘eshime’, a stone that came from ‘Cathaia’, while another held drinking cups made from precious materials such as solid emerald and, again, ‘eshime’. This was jade, yashm in Persian, the cultural and administrative language of the court. The raw material was probably first presented to the Mughal emperor in the late 16th century, but the earliest wine cups and other artefacts made in the royal workshops date from the reign of Jahangir (1605-1627). Nephrite jade was probably extremely expensive and rare during his reign and that of his son Shah Jahan, whose craftsmen produced some of the finest of all imperial jade artefacts. When trade routes between the empire and Kashmir were reopened in the 1660s, larger quantities of jade from Khotan became available to the Mughals. It was then used more prolifically for sword and dagger hilts, turban jewels, and small boxes. Many of these are decorated with flowering plants worked in low relief, or embellished with jewels set in gold. This lecture traces the origins and development of one of the most sophisticated arts of the Mughal court in the 17th century. Susan Stronge is a Senior Curator in the Asian Department of the Victoria and Albert Museum. She specialises in the courtly arts of the Indian subcontinent, and throughout her career has published and lectured on a broad range of subjects relating to this field. Her major publications include Painting for the Mughal Emperor. The Art of the Book 1560-1650 (V&A Publications, 2002); Tipu’s Tigers (V&A Publishing, 2009), and Made for Mughal Emperors (Roli Books/Lustre Press, New Delhi, 2010; UK edition IB Tauris, London, 2010). She is currently working on an analysis of artistic production at the court of Jahangir for which she was awarded a 2011 Leverhulme Research Fellowship. This lecture will be followed by a drinks reception at the Society of Antiquaries, kindly sponsored by Jonathan Woolf, to which all members are warmly invited. THE WOOLF COLLECTION OF IMPERIAL JADES – SPECIAL VIEWING For OCS members only, a special viewing of the Woolf Collection of Imperial Chinese Jades will be available on the day of the lecture, between 11:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. at Wessex House, 1 Chesham Street, London, SW1X 8ND. Entry is by advance tickets only. Contact Mary Painter by telephone on + 44 (0) 1223 881328 or email to ocslondon@btinternet.com for registration. Tuesday 10th April Dr. James Lin Preparation for the afterlife: Tomb Treasures of Han China The Han period (206 BC-AD220) is noted for the lavishness of its burials. However, Chinese texts hardly mention how the imperial household prepared for the funeral of the emperor or imperial family members. Judging from the large scale of the tomb structures and the rich funeral objects in a diverse range of materials, the preparation for a king’s funeral must have been well organized. Like the Egyptian pyramids, the construction of Han imperial tombs and the preparation of burial items were under strict and complicated supervision. The emperors’ tombs in Xi’an cannot be opened for conservation reasons, so we do not know what they look like. However, judging from the imperial members’ tombs that have been excavated in eastern China, and the 82 tomb passages that have been discovered in Yangling, Xi’an, which belonged to emperor Jingdi (r.188-141 BC), we can assume that an emperor’s tomb would have been similar to those of the kings in eastern China, but larger in scale. This talk aims to reconstruct the Han imperial funeral process by putting all of the pieces of the jigsaw together from the surviving texts and the archaeological evidence. James C. S. Lin is the Senior Assistant Keeper of Applied Art at the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, with responsibility for the Asian art collection. James obtained a Masters degree and Ph.D. in Chinese Art History at the University of Oxford. He worked as a Research Assistant at the Ashmolean Museum between 2000 - 2002. He was employed as a Special Assistant at the British Museum, helping to set up the Selwyn and Ellie Alleyne Gallery of Chinese Jade between June-November 2002. Afterwards he returned to Oxford as the first Christensen Fellow in Chinese Painting, at the Khoan and Michael Sullivan Chinese painting gallery at the Ashmolean Museum. In September 2004 he was appointed as the Assistant Keeper of Applied Arts at the Fitzwilliam Museum. Tuesday 8th May Dr. Patrick Conner Visions of Canton, 1700-1850 For nearly a century Canton (Guangzhou) was the only port in China at which Westerners were allowed to trade. In the decoration of export art the city itself - with its ‘hongs’ or ‘factories’, its forts, its towers and temples - was a favourite theme, not only in export painting but also on porcelain, lacquer and ivory. In this lecture the relationship between these media is explored, through examples ranging from Chinese wallpaper and maps to reverse-glass painting and the spectacular ‘hong bowls’ of the late 18th century. From 1975 to 1986 Patrick Conner was Keeper of Fine Art at the Royal Pavilion, Art Gallery and Museums, Brighton; since 1986, he has been Director of the Martyn Gregory Gallery, London, specialists in historical paintings related to the China Trade. Dr. Conner’s published books include Oriental Architecture in the West (1978), George Chinnery, artist of India and the China coast (1993), and The Hongs of Canton: Western Merchants in South China 1700-1900 (2009). He has curated a number of loan exhibitions exploring the relationships between ‘Eastern' and 'Western' cultures, notably William Alexander, an English artist in Imperial China (1981); The China Trade 1600-1860 (1986); and The Flamboyant Mr Chinnery (Asia House, 2011-12). Wednesday 6th June AGM, lecture and reception 5:30 p.m. at the Society of Antiquaries followed by a lecture given jointly by Jean Martin and Frances Wood, Curator of the Chinese Collections at the British Library, entitled Towards a new history of the Oriental Ceramic Society. This will be followed by a drinks reception, to which all members and their guests are warmly invited. Full details will be given in our Summer programme. Provisional autumn lecture dates: 9th October, 11th November and 11th December. THE OCS DISCUSSION AND HANDLING GROUP The OCS Discussion and Handling Group enjoy regular meetings at which members of the Society bring along items which they have collected for discussion. Each of these meetings is devoted to a particular topic and, although the Society has an especial interest in ceramics, other subjects are also included. The next meeting of the Discussion and Handling Group will take place on Tuesday 21st February, from 3:00 – 5:00 p.m. at Sothebys Grosvenor Gallery, 34-35 New Bond Street, London W1A 2AA. The subject will be Shipwreck Ceramics, and will be an exploratory session for our next exhibition to take place in 2015. Seaborne ceramics The proposed exhibition devoted to export ware ceramics planned for 2015, Seaborne Ceramics: Datable Export Wares from East Asia, should reveal much about the growth of consumerism in Western Europe and the Americas. A Discussion Group meeting on this topic was held relatively recently but this meeting will try to identify further material and discuss other aspects of the trade. Although the exhibition will be based on firmly dated and provenanced ceramics recovered from shipwrecks, material which is closely related to such examples may also be included. Sadly much, if not most, of the items exported from the East, including fans, screens, pictures, lacquer, textiles and tea did not survive shipwrecks but shipwreck ceramics do provide much evidence about the changing tastes and demands of Western consumers for luxury goods from Asia. If you wish to join the meeting please complete and return the booking form at the end of this programme. Our second session will take place on Tuesday 8th May, also at Sothebys, from 3:00 – 5:00 p.m., and the subject will be Black wares of China, Japan and South East Asia Following the very successful OCS meeting at the British Museum in December, when Jessica Harrison-Hall and Nicole Rousmaniere showed us a series of bowls used for eating and drinking, it has been suggested that members might like to bring similar bowls to a group meeting where they could be examined and divergent opinions expressed. The items discussed at the BM ranged from Song Jian and Jizhou tea bowls which were made for home consumption and also exported throughout East Asia and particularly to Japan. Jessica Harrison-Hall demonstrated the popularity of these wares by showing us imitations made at kilns further north, where the whiter body was dressed with a ferruginous wash to imitate the body of the Fujian wares. Nicole Rousmaniere showed us a range of Japanese tea wares, most of which were collected by Sir Augustus Wollaston-Franks. Franks was a diligent recorder of his collection as well as being an almost obsessive collector and it was fascinating to see some of his records as well as the actual pots. The BM session was not only extremely instructive but also thought provoking and if members have pots that illuminate the theme or wish to join the discussion please complete and return the booking form at the end of this programme. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * A date for your diaries - our second Emerging Scholars’ Study Day will take place on Saturday 9th June at Kensington Central Library in London.
