SUMMARY:Challenges and solutions: the ingenuity of the Yaozhou potters
DESCRIPTION:The Sir Michael Butler Memorial Lecture\nThe Yaozhou kilns are usually associated with a type of celadon characterised by vivid designs carved or moulded under a transparent olive-green glaze made from the eleventh century. However, their history of technological challenges and solutions started much earlier and it shows the potters’ ingenuity in adapting to available materials and fashion trends, sometimes setting them.\nDrawing on the Shang Shan Tang Collection and the exhibition Vivid Transparencies. Yaozhou wares from the Shang Shan Tang Collection held at the Museum of Oriental Art, Venice, the lecture presents the surprising trajectory of the Huangpuzhen kilns from their establishment in the Tang dynasty to their demise in the thirteenth century. It will also be the opportunity to reflect on key themes, such as the concept of a ‘signature’ product and its relation with other types of celadon, as well as other ceramic genres produced by the Yaozhou potters. Finally, the lecture will suggest future research topics related to the Yaozhou kilns in the context of Song ceramics.\nMembers do not need to book to attend this lecture.\n5:30 pm – Society of Antiquaries opens for members’ refreshments\n6:15 pm – Lecture begins\nThis lecture is sponsored by Katharine Butler with additional support from Woolley & Wallis\nImage: Yaozhou bowl with appliqué design of a tortoise, 10th century, Shang Shan Tang Collection\n
