SUMMARY:From Jingdezhen to Samarkand: early Ming porcelain in Timurid Central Asia
DESCRIPTION:Chinese porcelain of the early Ming period (1368-1435) reached Central Asia through the Eurasian land routes, but the archaeological findings are few and have been rarely considered in the studies on Chinese ceramics. The rarity and high quality of the porcelains suggest that they were transported to the Timurid courts as diplomatic gifts or traded as luxury goods, which seems to be confirmed by the historical written sources and by the locations of the excavated objects. This article aims to fill part of the “Central Asian gap” in the history of Chinese porcelain outside China, by focusing on mainly unpublished shards found or identified during field research in various cities of Uzbekistan. Moreover, the Chinese shards will be considered along with a number of unpublished Timurid blue-and-white ceramic examples which show a strong connection with blue-and-white porcelain.\nWe are grateful to Woolley & Wallis for their sponsorship of the refreshments.\n \n\n
