SUMMARY:The Collection of Sir Joseph Hotung: Exploring the Remarkable History of China’s Jade
DESCRIPTION:OCS AGM and The Sir Joseph Hotung Memorial Lecture\nJade, so central to China and the Chinese, often seems mysterious, hard to identify and to understand.  Sir Joseph Hotung’s collection illuminates its history with magnificent pieces dating from the Neolithic, c. 3000 BC down to the 18th century.  From the moment a pair of delicate and translucent 18th century bowls attracted his attention, he was a passionate collector, sharing his fine collection with visitors and museums.  Sir Joseph discovered and acquired some of the very earlies jades made near Shanghai, which tell us about the extraordinary origin of the China’s interest in jade, long before it was known and used by the great dynastic rulers.\nProfessor Rawson’s talk will look back at this unexpected history and chart the choice of jade for auspicious items and works of art though Sir Joseph’s exceptional collection and the latest excavated materials.\nThe OCS is grateful to the Sir Percival David Foundation for their support of this event.\n
