| THE ORIENTAL CERAMIC SOCIETY SUMMER PROGRAMME 2013 P.O. Box 517 Cambridge CB21 5BE, U.K. Tel/Fax: + 44 (0) 1223 881328 Email address: ocs.london@btinternet.com Web address: www.ocs-london.com * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 2013 began with four outstanding lectures: Dr. Timon Screech made the 400-year history of the English East India Company a riveting story and made the audience forget the technical hitch we faced; Cinta Krahe gave a most thoroughly researched paper on the virtually unknown history of Spain’s connection with Chinese porcelain; Keith Wilson in the Woolf Jade Lecture amazed specialists and amateurs alike with his sharp observations on recycled archaic jades; and Li Guangning acted as a most persuasive ambassador of his home province, Anhui, and its archaeological treasures. A handling session on blue-and-white was again over-subscribed, with a fascinating selection of items from many countries available for handling, starting with the Yuan dynasty and ending in the present. The summer programme promises to be no less exciting. Regina Krahl, President SUBSCRIPTION RENEWAL Subscriptions for the year 2013/14 are now due.

SUMMER/AUTUMN PROGRAMME OF LECTURES All lectures will be held at the Society of Antiquaries of London, Burlington House, Piccadilly, London W1J 0BE, unless otherwise noted*, either at 6.00 p.m., or with welcome drinks in advance, at 5.45 p.m. for 6.15 p.m., as listed below. Tuesday 14th May, 6.00 p.m. Dr. Moya Carey Tilework Drawings from Iran: Accessing Safavid Architecture from South Kensington Throughout the late nineteenth century, the South Kensington Museum (now the V&A) endeavoured to collect important examples of art and design, either historic or foreign in origin. This worldwide mission extended to Qajar Iran, and addressed material culture of almost all media, from carpets to ceramics. But not all art media were equally available or amenable to such acquisitive and sometimes even unscrupulous projects: the vivid tilework of Safavid Isfahan’s monumental sacred architecture elicited deep admiration, but was not for sale. European travellers were not officially admitted to the Safavid mosques and madrasas in the nineteenth century, and these sacred buildings were carefully guarded by their clerical custodians. But in 1877, Robert Murdoch Smith, the museum’s agent in Iran, was not daunted; he commissioned local Isfahan craftsmen to mount scaffolding and make scale colour replicas of the interior and exterior tiled surfaces of several of these great buildings: 37 painted oil-cloth panels traced directly from the walls, vaults, windows and even the massive domes of six different buildings. This way at least, the South Kensington Museum would possess a record of these historic surface designs, if not the cut-tile mosaics themselves. Dr Moya Carey is the Iran Heritage Foundation Curator for the Iranian Collections at the Asian Department of the V&A. She earned her doctorate at SOAS in 2001, researching constellation mapping in thirteenth-century manuscripts and on celestial globes. She has worked for several private and public collections of Islamic art, and also taught at university level. In June 2012, she co-edited issue 6 of the online Journal of Art Historiography, which focused on Islamic art history. Moya’s current research addresses European interests in Middle Eastern art and design during the nineteenth century, including the Isfahan tilework drawing series. She is preparing a catalogue of the V&A’s collection of carpets produced in Qajar Iran. Monday 17th June 6.00 p.m. Venue: Dreweatts, 24 Maddox Street, London W1S 1PP This lecture will be followed by a drinks reception sponsored by Dreweatts. Ron Fuchs A Royal Worcester Vase with Scenes of Chinese Porcelain Production Limited seating and booking essential with Benedetta Mottino Info@bloomsburyauctions.com or tel 020 7495 9494. Wednesday 19th June AGM, and OCS/Sotheby’s lecture The AGM will start promptly at 5:30 p.m. followed by the lecture and a drinks reception sponsored by Sotheby’s Professor Dr. Nicole Coolidge Rousmaniere Japanese Porcelain Not for Sale: Nabeshima Ware and Other Presentation Ceramics As the four hundred year anniversary of the formation of the porcelain industry in Japan is fast approaching, it is timely to reassess the role and meaning of Japanese porcelain both domestically and abroad. Porcelain production began in the Arita area of Saga domain (Hizen) in the 1610s and is still currently thriving. This lecture will focus on a specific aspect of porcelain production in Japan, namely the early porcelain production and the development of presentation wares (kenjôhin, 献上品) for the Tokugawa Shogunate during the Edo period (1615-1868) and its use as gifts for other lords. Particular attention will be placed on the meaning of presentation goods, as it concerns their role in the complex relationship between the Nabeshima domain, the Tokugawa shogunate and the other lords in the realm. There were two main different kinds of presentation goods made in Tokugawa Japan, annual and periodic. Six types of ceramic wares from different domains were used at varying periods as annual presentation goods during the Edo period. The focus of this lecture is on the annual presentation wares made by the Nabeshima domain, first at their kilns in the Arita area and then in Okawachi, Imari City. Recent research and excavations in Japan have uncovered important clues that point towards a new assessment of the visually compelling Nabeshima ware that was never formally for sale during the Edo period. Production of Nabeshima ware lasted for two hundred years starting in the1650s, but the peak period of production was from the 1690s to the 1720s. New research helps to place which types of Nabeshima wares were used as gifts for the Shogunate and which were destined for other lords or internal use. Intriguingly, the most lavish wares were certainly in the 18th century not for Shogunal use. Nicole Coolidge Rousmaniere is the founding Director of the Sainsbury Institute for the Study of Japanese Arts and Cultures. She received her PhD from Harvard University in 1998. Her research interests include early modern to contemporary ceramics in East Asia and particularly Japan, East Asian trade networks, the history of archaeology and collecting things Japanese. She spent three years on secondment as a Visiting Professor in Cultural Resource Studies at Tokyo University (2006-2009). Since the summer of 2011 she has been Research Director of the Sainsbury Institute and curator at the British Museum in the Department of Asia, where she is completing a book manuscript for the British Museum Press entitled Four Hundred Years of Japanese Porcelain to be published in 2014. A drinks reception will follow Nicole’s lecture, sponsored by Sotheby’s, to which all members are warmly invited. So we have an idea of numbers for catering purposes, please complete the booking form at the end of the programme.

Sunday 3rd November at 6.00 p.m. Christie’s/OCS Chinese lecture * Venue: Christie’s, 8 King Street, St. James’s, London SW1Y 6QT * This lecture will be followed by a drinks reception sponsored by Christie’s at 7.00 p.m. Limited seating and booking essential to rsvp@christies.com / Harriet McCann, Events Coordinator, 0207 389 2858. Derek Gillman The Imperial Luohans of Zhongdu The British Museum’s great lead-glazed luohan belongs to a set discovered in Hebei a century ago, the origin of which has been much discussed during the past thirty years. Majority opinion has it that the figures are Liao (907-1125), an opinion shared until fairly recently by the author. The present paper will argue however that the luohan set was commissioned during the second half of the 12th century for an imperially-established Chan (Zen) Buddhist temple at the Jin (1115-1234) capital Zhongdu (present-day Beijing). Derek Gillman is Executive Director and President of the Barnes Foundation. He has served as President and Director of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Deputy Director of the National Gallery of Victoria, Australia, and Keeper of the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts at the University of East Anglia, from which he holds a Master of Laws degree by research. Prior to that, he was a research assistant in the Department of Oriental Antiquities at the British Museum. Gillman began his career at Christie’s London, after a year at the Beijing Languages Institute in 1975-6. He was an undergraduate at Magdalen College, Oxford, where he read Chinese Studies. He is President of the International Cultural Property Society, and a member of the Association of Art Museum Directors. The revised edition of his book The Idea of Cultural Heritage was published by Cambridge University Press in 2010. Wednesday 6th November at 6.00 p.m. The First Sonia Lightfoot Paintings Lecture This lecture will be followed by a drinks reception sponsored by Bonhams. Since this lecture takes place during Asian Art in London, booking for this lecture is essential. Please contact Mary Painter or complete the booking form at the end of this programme. Dr. Howard Rogers, President, Kaikodo LLC New Clothes for the Emperor: Painting and Exoticism under Hui-tsung (r.1101-26) The lecture will investigate the sources, both familiar and exotic, of the painting styles initiated by and under the emperor Hui-tsung [Huizong] and practiced at his court. Particular attention will be paid to relationships with styles practiced in Korea and Japan, suggesting that the direction of influence was contrary to that normally believed to have obtained at that time. Howard Rogers earned an AB, MA, ABD and Student Emeritus degree studying under James Cahill at the University of California at Berkeley. He then moved to Japan, having been invited to write a book on 18th century painting in Yangzhou for a Japanese publisher, while finishing his dissertation on the same subject. He then taught Chinese and Western art-history at Sophia University in Tokyo. Howard and his wife began collecting Chinese paintings and ceramics, enjoying the mentorship of Ch'eng Ch'i, Jean-Pierre Dubosc, and Walter Hochstadter as well as most of the major dealers in Tokyo. They eventually founded a company, Kaikodo, and, after seventeen years of teaching, Howard left Sophia and became a full-time dealer in 1983. In 1981 Howard worked on the catalogue of Eight Dynasties of Chinese Painting. In 1988 he organized and wrote the catalogue for Masterworks of Ming and Qing Painting from the Forbidden City, the first exhibition of later Chinese paintings from the Palace Museum in Beijing ever to tour the outside world. In 1991 he and his wife worked with Sherman Lee on the Asian section of Circa 1492: Art in the Age of Exploration, an exhibition organized by Jay Levenson for the National Gallery of Art in Washington. In 1998 Howard was appointed general editor of the catalogue for the exhibition China 5,000 Years at the Guggenheim Museum in New York, serving also as adjunct curator. DISCUSSION AND HANDLING SESSIONS The OCS offers 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. Members are asked to limit the items they are showing to no more than five pieces. Our recent sessions have proved extremely popular and, due to overcrowding at the Blue and White handling session at the Society of Antiquaries in February, we have had to limit future sessions to 20 members only. Only members who have booked a place will be able to sit at the table and handle the pieces. The next handling session on guan and other crackled wares, which will take place on Tuesday 14th May, is already fully booked with a waiting list. On Tuesday 22nd October there will be a discussion and handling session at the V&A on Celadon wares from the V&A collection. This will take place in the Ceramics Study Room of the V & A and will be limited to two sessions of 15 members each, one from 2:15 – 3:10 and the second from 3:15 – 4:10 p.m. Booking is essential – please complete the booking form at the end of this programme. PLEASE NOTE: MEMBERS WHO ATTEND OUR DISCUSSION AND HANDLING GROUP SESSIONS ARE SHOWING ALL PIECES AT THEIR OWN RISK: THE OCS CANNOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE OR LOSS. SUMMER VISIT Visit to Clandon Park on Thursday 20th June Clandon Park is the ancestral home of the Earls of Onslow and the present house, designed by Giacomo Leoni, was built in about 1730. The house was acquired by the National Trust in 1956. The house contains some of its original furnishings as well as a spectacular bequest of furniture and porcelain from Mrs David Gubbay, who had become an eminent collector of English furniture in the 1920s. The Gubbay collection includes a highly important group of Chinese ceramics comprising, in particular, models of birds which were produced throughout the 18th and 19th century for the European market. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> OF INTEREST TO MEMBERS British Museum Conference Thoughts and Things in China 14th June, 9.30 a.m.–6.30 p.m., and 15th June, 10.00 a.m. –6.30 p.m. British Museum, Stevenson Lecture Theatre Tickets £35, Members/Concessions £25 Ticket price includes coffee/tea breaks, lunches and a reception.
