SUMMARY:‘Brought out in Evidence’: The Unorthodox Career of William Bowyer Honey (1889-1956)
DESCRIPTION:This is the Annual OCS Shang Shan Tang Lecture\nwith additional sponsorship from Woolley & Wallis\nW B Honey is an overlooked figure in relation to the scholarship of East Asian ceramics here in Britain, his name perhaps being more often linked to writings on European pottery, porcelain and glass. Yet as a member of the Department of Ceramics at the V&A between 1925 and 1950 and from 1938, its Keeper, as an active contributor to the Oriental Ceramic Society, and as prolific author of books and articles on Chinese and Korean ceramics in particular, his contribution was significant.\nThis paper will document Honey’s journey from a poor and harsh upbringing in Battersea, to joining a group of hugely talented curators at the V&A in the 1920s, 30s and 40s and bringing, in the words of Bernard Rackham, ‘his acute observation and deep thinking’ into play at a time of growing access to and knowledge of East Asian ceramics in Britain of the inter-war period.\nThis lecture will be livestreamed. Please follow this webinar link ( https://us06web.zoom.us/j/88061208607 ).\nVenue Access Information: The Society of Antiquaries welcomes wheelchairs and mobility vehicles however since the main entrance consists of steps they will provide a ramp if needed which can be arranged by calling 020 7479 7095 prior to your arrival.
