THE WORLD
IN MONOCHROMES
16 April - 20 June 2009
SYMPOSIUM
ON MONOCHROME CERAMICS
Thursday 18 June 2009
at the Brunei Gallery, School of Oriental and African
Studies
This is the third in the series of exhibitions of ceramics,
from the collections of members of the Oriental Ceramic
Society, which have approached the subject of Asian ceramics
from the point of view of their decorative techniques. The
first exhibition entitled The World in Blue and White was
shown in London, Bath and Glasgow in 2003 and this was
followed in 2006 by The World in Colours, held at the Brunei
Gallery. The World in Monochromes completes the trilogy.
This exhibition seeks to show the beauty, amazing diversity
and technical accomplishment of ceramics displaying a single
colour. From brilliant ‘imperial’ yellow to subtle celadon
green, the production of these monochrome colours presented
challenges to the potters. The exhibition is a testament to
their creative and technical skills and indicates the
development of certain glaze colours, the interrelationship
between craftsmen in different parts of Asia, and the
inspiration their work provided for potters in the West.
Opening hours: Tuesday to Saturday, 10.30 to 17.00, closed
on Sunday and Monday. Admission free. Brunei Gallery, SOAS,
Thornhaugh Street, Russell Square, London WC1H 0XG. Tel.
number: +44 (0)20 7898 4046 (recorded information), web
address: www.soas.ac.uk/gallery.
The exhibition is accompanied by a 131-page catalogue with
296 colour images and essays by Phillip Allen, Anthony du
Boulay, Jessica Harrison-Hall, Rose Kerr, Jean Martin,
Stacey Pierson and Rosemary Scott. Copies can be purchased
at the Exhibition or ordered from the Society for £25 / $36.
The one-day symposium will be held at the Brunei Gallery.
The lecturers will focus on themes linked to particular
aspects of monochrome ceramics. The fee is £28 (students
£17.50), including tea and coffee.

SUMMER/AUTUMN 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 19th May
Dr. Charlotte Horlyck
“A gilded celadon stand from the Koryŏ period (AD918-1392)
in the Victoria and Albert Museum”
In Korea, green-glazed celadon stonewares were produced
during the Koryŏ period (AD918-1392). Characterised by their
sculptural shapes, innovative decorations and translucent
glazes of bluish-green colour, they were not only much loved
by the Koryŏ aristocracy, but were also sought after on the
Chinese mainland. Later, during the early 20th century they
became collectors’ items, and many ended up in museums in
Japan, America and Europe.
Some of the most visually stunning and technologically
interesting types of celadon ceramics produced during this
time are gilded ones. Only few have survived till today and
one of the best preserved examples is now housed in the V&A
Museum. Decorated with gold and sanggam inlay, the stand is
the focal point of this lecture.
To date, few references to gilded Koryŏ celadon wares have
been made in discourses on Korean ceramic traditions by
Eastern and Western scholars. In 1956 Godfrey Gompertz
brought them to the attention of Western scholars and
collectors in an article published in The Burlington
Magazine, but since then little has been done to follow up
his seminal work. This talk first addresses how the stand
entered the V&A. Secondly, a discussion of its manufacture
especially with regards to the application of the gold
design will be put forward. Particular focus will be placed
on questions concerning the date of the gold decoration, the
type of gold used and the kind of adhesive that was applied.
Comparisons will be made with contemporary Chinese gilded
vessels, on which comparatively more research has been
carried out, as well as with other Korean gilded artefacts
that were made in different media during this time, such as
Buddhist paintings and sutras.
Dr. Charlotte Horlyck is a Lecturer in the Department of Art
and Archaeology at the School of Oriental and African
Studies (SOAS), University of London where she lectures in
Korean art and archaeology, and in theories and methods in
the study of Asian visual arts and material culture. She
formerly curated the Korean collection at the Victoria and
Albert Museum in London. Her research interests include
Korean bronze artefacts, in particular mirrors, medieval
Korean funerary material and theoretical issues relating to
the study of material culture. She has published articles on
Korean art and archaeology, and is presently working on an
edited volume on death, mourning and the afterlife in Korea.
Wednesday 17th June
AGM
The Society of Antiquaries
Starting at *5:30 p.m.*
* Please note the new starting time of 5:30 p.m. for the
AGM*
Please do come and support your Society at our AGM, when you
will hear all about our activities and achievements during
the past year. The AGM will be followed at 6:00 pm by a
lecture given by Dr. Stacey Pierson entitled “On Location:
Situating Chinese Ceramics”.
This lecture will explore the sites for Chinese ceramics –
sites of production, consumption, exchange and display.
Through the framework of location, a wide range of Chinese
ceramics will be discussed, with a view to presenting their
history from a different perspective, one which is not
defined by chronology or collecting categories. We will
examine ceramics from temples and palace halls, sedan chairs
and chimney pieces as well as kiln sites. Such ceramics
share one important feature in common: they are associated
with a specific location, one which may have changed over
time but which can help define their significance in China
and beyond.
Stacey Pierson is a Council member of the OCS, a lecturer in
Chinese Ceramics at the Department of Art and Archaeology at
SOAS, former Curator of the Percival David Foundation of
Chinese Art and has a Ph.D in Chinese Art in Britain from
the University of Sussex.
The lecture will be followed by a drinks reception, to which
all members are invited. There will be a charge of £12.00
per head for the reception; please complete the booking form
at the end of this Programme and mail to us with your
payment. Guests are welcome.
Friday 16th October
Lecture and Gallery Tour
Time: 6:00 p.m.
*Venue: The Sackler Centre Auditorium at the Victoria &
Albert Museum, Cromwell Road, South Kensington, London SW7
2Rl
An introduction to the new Ceramics galleries by Reino
Liefkes, Senior Curator in the Department of Sculpture,
Ceramics, Metalwork & Glass, followed by presentations on
selected case studies by Asian Department curators.
Following the lecture, members will have the opportunity to
join the curators on a guided tour of the galleries.
For the first time in a century the V&A is redisplaying its
ceramics collection, the greatest and most comprehensive in
the world. Extensive new galleries will tell the story of
world ceramics, with 3000 objects on display, from the
earliest Chinese pottery to contemporary ceramic art.
The central gallery will show masterpieces dating from as
far back as 2500 BC, exploring the links between the world’s
great ceramic traditions. Highlights will include Ming
dynasty Chinese porcelain; a Chinese-inspired blue and white
bowl made in 16th century Turkey; Meissen figures; Dutch
Delftware ordered by Queen Mary for Hampton Court Palace;
painted Japanese porcelain imported to Europe by the Dutch
East India Company and tea bowls rescued from an
18th-century Chinese shipwreck.
For the first time, the V&A will create a gallery exploring
ceramic production, which will incorporate a workshop area
where techniques will be demonstrated and visitors will be
able to make, decorate and fire their own ceramics. There
will be a part-reconstruction of the studio of Dame Lucie
Rie, one of the greatest potters of the 20th century, with
film footage showing the artist at work.
There will be two rooms displaying 20th-century collections.
One will show ceramics made in a factory context and will
include objects by designers such as Susie Cooper and
Clarice Cliff as well as fine tableware by Wedgewood. The
other 20th-century gallery will show hand-made, unique works
created in small studios by artists such as Bernard Leach
and Lucie Rie.
There will be a gallery for changing temporary displays, the
first of which will be Objects of Luxury showing French
porcelain from the 18th century with works from Sèvres and
other leading factories of the time.
The final gallery will show contemporary ceramics by artists
including Anders Ruhwald and Martin Smith as well as a site
specific installation by Edmund de Waal entitled Signs and
Wonders.
The new galleries have been funded by a donation from the
Headley Trust and Sir Timothy Sainsbury, together with
generous support from the Ronald and Rita McAulay
Foundation, the DCMS/Wolfson Museums and Galleries
Improvement Fund and other private donors. They are located
on the top floor of the museum and are designed by Stanton
Williams. The new designs will reveal a beautiful domed
ceiling and restore the original parquet flooring of the
galleries. The second phase of the redisplay (opening in
2010) will house the study collections, showing around
26,000 further objects, and creating one of the world’s
leading resources for scholars and artists.
The Ceramics Galleries are part of the V&A’s Future Plan to
transform the Museum through new galleries and beautiful
redisplays of its collections.

A new publication “Masterpieces of World Ceramics” edited by
Reino Liefkes and Hilary Young accompanies the new galleries
(See our 2009 Newsletter for an article on this
publication.).
Tuesday 10th November
Li Jian’An
“Underwater Archaeology in China and New Findings on Fujian
Ceramics”
Professor Li will talk about the important underwater
excavations he has performed during the last 20 years.
Shipwrecks from Southern Song, Yuan and Qing dynasties have
been discovered in Fujian, Guangdong and Liaoning provinces.
The ceramics carried on these ships, together with findings
from kiln excavations carried out since the 1990s, point to
the significant role played by Fujian in the East-West
commercial and cultural exchange.
Li Jian'an was born in 1951, and has a BA degree in
archaeology from the Department of History, Xiamen
University. He is Director of the Archaeology Institute,
Fujian Provincial Museum, specializing in field archaeology
and underwater archaeology. He has directed numerous
Song-Ming-Qing kiln excavations in Fujian , including
Jian’an (Jian ware), Tingxi, Huaishan, Chayang, Cizao,
Zhangzhou, Jiabeishan and Zulonggong (the last two making
Blanc-de-chine ware). He has also carried out underwater
archaeology in collaboration with the National Museum of
China, including the Dinghai shipwreck in Lianjiang, the
Shuizhong wreck in Liaoning, the Dongguwan wreck in Dongshan,
and the Nanhai No. 1 wreck in Guangdong.
He has published more than 80 scholarly essays and
archaeological reports.
Tuesday 15th December
Professor Peter Lam
“A Dating Framework for Qianlong Imperial Ware”
The Qianlong Emperor (born Hongli, 1711-1799) reigned
officially from 1735 to 1796, after which he retired, a
filial act done so as not to surpass the sixty-one years of
the reign of his grandfather, the Kangxi Emperor. His reign
was one of the most prosperous in Chinese history. With
unprecedented strong imperial patronage and unlimited
resources, the ceramic output from the Imperial Porcelain
Factory in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province, during this period
had been colossal. The Factory produced thousands of
porcelain wares every year for court consumption as well as
other domestic consumers, bringing innovative technical
virtuosity to Jingdezhen. The majority of the Qianlong
imperial porcelain wares carry reign marks on their bases,
making them easily identifiable, but to date them more
precisely within the six decades of the long reign has been
a most difficult task. This lecture attempts to solve this
problem and to suggest a dating framework for these Qianlong
porcelain wares, by making references to useful criteria
such as studio names, bannermen, kiln supervisors, archival
records, documentary references and calligraphic styles of
the base marks, apart from the more usual guidelines of
form, style and technical considerations.
Peter Y. K. Lam, a graduate from the Percival David
Foundation of Chinese Art, School of Oriental and African
Studies, University of London, is an art historian as well
as a museum professional. His scholarly works on Chinese
ceramics, calligraphy rubbings and the decorative arts are
widely published. For the past thirty-five years he has been
with the Art Museum, the Chinese University of Hong Kong,
where he is its Director/Professor. He is a long time member
of the Min Chiu Society of prominent collectors in Hong
Kong, a council member of the Chinese Society of Ancient
Ceramics in Beijing, an Honorary Research Fellow of the
Palace Museum, Beijing, and former member of the Antiquities
Advisory Board (former Chairman of its Archaeological
Committee), Hong Kong SAR Government. In recognition of his
contribution to the study of Chinese art he was awarded a
Medal of Honour by the Hong Kong SAR Chief Executive in
2007.
2010 Lecture dates for your diary:
19th January, 16th February, 16th March, 13th April, 11th
May, 16th June (AGM), 12th October, 9th November and 7th
December (subject to possible change).
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.
We are most grateful to Colin Sheaf and the Directors of
Bonhams, who have kindly invited us to hold the next meeting
of the Discussion group in the lecture theatre at Bonhams,
at 101 New Bond Street. The meeting will be held on Tuesday
19th May at 15:00 hours. The session will be devoted to
enamelled decoration on Chinese and Japanese ceramics prior
to about 1700. This topic was suggested by members of the
society who attended the last meeting of the Discussion
Group, when we looked at Chinese porcelain decorated in the
famille rose palette. The early and widespread appreciation
of enamelled wares in Japan probably did much to further the
development of the Japanese ceramic industry. It may also
have influenced Chinese taste and technological changes.
If you intend to join the group at Bonhams, please either
send an email message to Phillip Allen at
phillip.allen27@gmail.com or telephone him on 01234 268165.
It would be helpful if you could indicate if you will be
bringing an object for discussion.

OF INTEREST TO MEMBERS
The Ancient Chinese Ceramic Society will hold their annual
conference on Early Chinese Whitewares at Zhengzhou, Henan
Province on October 21st - 25th, 2009. Interested
participants should contact Zheng Hong at
zggtcxh@gmail.com
'Cultures of Ceramics in Global History, 1300 to 1800' –
call for papers.
An international conference hosted by the Department of
History, University of Warwick, 22nd – 24th April, 2010,
which is part of ‘Global Jingdezhen’, an AHRC-funded project
based at the University of Warwick, UK. This project aims to
develop more contextualised understandings of the ceramics
industry by looking not only at the manufacturing town of
Jingdezhen from a global perspective, but also by looking at
the global connections and transformations forged by the
spread of Jingdezhen wares throughout the early modern
world.
Chinese ceramics were among the most sought-after material
artefacts of the early modern world, featuring prominently
in museums and private collections from Eurasia and Africa
to the Americas and Australia. Evidence from land- and
sea-based archaeological explorations continues to expand
the story of these objects’ wide dissemination, in
particular that of the famous blue-and-white wares
manufactured in Jingdezhen (southern China). By the turn of
the nineteenth century many millions of ceramic objects had
found their way from this single Chinese town into the daily
lives of people across the globe.
The Jingdezhen ceramics industry has been the subject of a
longstanding and enduring fascination for the scholarly
world, but recent developments in the emerging discipline of
global history make this an opportune moment to reflect on
the field, and to pose new questions that require our moving
beyond merely quantitative or object-based analyses.
Clearly, ceramics played a central role in forging
transformative early modern global connections: throughout
the period, potters adopted unfamiliar techniques and
designs, merchants sought out new markets, and consumers
desired ceramics that combined local tastes with fashions
and styles from further afield. But how exactly did Chinese
ceramics filter into different societies to become part of
everyday lives across the globe, and why were some places
resistant to their impact? What were the cultural
transformations that followed the appropriation of Chinese
ceramics in different parts of the early modern world? What
effects did ceramics have on the nature of global
connections, and who were the brokers and dealers involved
in these processes? Transformations in ideas and perceptions
brought about by the movement of ceramics might also be
considered: did the potter in Mexico attempting to
incorporate Chinese styles into local manufacture consider
their place of origin? Did Jingdezhen have any meaning as a
place for the consumer in Japan or Persia? Did the
manufacture of ceramics to the tastes and specifications of
invisible global consumers shape perceptions of the wider
world held in and around local sites of production?
This international conference to be held at the University
of Warwick will bring together experts in a wide range of
disciplines and geographical areas to explore such
questions. We now invite scholars to submit abstracts of
300-400 words, together with a CV of no more than one page,
outlining new research addressing or related to the
questions posed above. Papers that attempt to challenge
traditional disciplinary or geographical boundaries are
particularly encouraged, as are those that raise
methodological issues about research into the global history
of material cultures. Abstracts should be sent to Dr Stephen
McDowall (s.j.mcdowall@warwick.ac.uk) as soon as possible
and no later than 15 June 2009. All those who submit
abstracts will be notified by 1 July whether their papers
can be included in the conference programme, and confirmed
speakers will have their travel and accommodation expenses
met by the conference committee.
