China's China: Porcelain, Earthenware, Stoneware & Glazes
The Newark Museum is currently hosting the exhibit, "China's China: Porcelain, Earthenware, Stoneware & Glazes".
Where
Over 2,000 years of ceramic ecellence are showcased with meaningful selections to feature a range of different techniques through both figural and practical forms. Dating from seven different dynastic periods - stretching from the second century BC to contemporary works - this installation provides a profound rationale for why the name of the country became a synonym for the ceramic arts while demonstrating an abridged introduction of some of the most significant and celebrated ceramic types in Chinese history.
Funding for this exhibition is provided by the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation.
