Chinese Ceramics: 13th-14th Century
December 20, 2014 – January 3, 2016
Ceramic production during the Yuan dynasty (1279-1368) reflects the strength of the international market demand for Chinese wares. Notably, celadon-glazed vessels from Longquan competed with porcelain objects from Jingdezhen, painted with innovative decoration in cobalt pigment. A selection of Chinese ceramics from the Freer collection shows highlights of Yuan ceramic styles.
