On the Silk Road and the High Seas: Chinese Ceramics, Culture and Commerce On the Silk Road and the High Seas: Chinese Ceramics, Culture and Commerce
September 1, 2012–January 27, 2013

On the Silk Road and the High Seas: Chinese Ceramics, Culture and Commerce examines why Chinese ceramics were such prized commodities, both at home and abroad. Examples of proto-porcelain appeared in China about 3,000 years ago and hard-paste porcelain began to be made around 1,800 years ago. This precious product was sometimes called "white gold," especially in the West. Foreign trade and changing domestic markets played a role in stimulating Chinese potters to continually reinvent their repertoire of shapes and decorative techniques. These exchanges also illuminate important episodes in cultural history.

Gold on Black, Japanese Lacquer from the Jacqueline Avant Collection Gold on Black, Japanese Lacquer from the Jacqueline Avant Collection
March 2–September 13, 2013

The picture first appears as a spark flying from a dark surface. The glints begin to form intricate designs in colors of light: pink chrysanthemums, silver wrinkly skin, a golden kimono, a vivid touch of red on the lips of an elderly figure. Further away, in the upper right corner, appear misty summits of bronze, gold, and silver. A narrative begins to form from the darkness on a lid of an ink box.
