In the wake of the exhibition Vivid Transparencies. Yaozhou Ceramics from the Shang Shan Tang Collection (open until October 25th included, at the Museo d’Arte Orientale in Venice), this event takes the form of a symposium in which four experts informally discuss aspects of Chinese ceramics produced between the 10th and the 13th century. In particular, Sabrina Rastelli will highlight the fundamental role of the Yaozhou kilns in guiding aesthetic taste; Nigel Wood will explain how the colour of early 10th century Yaozhou glazes was achieved. Marco Ceresa will focus on tea culture at the time, while Wang Tao will explore the function of the multiple ceramic forms at the table, in the scholar’s studio or in the temple.

- Nigel Wood, Professor, School of Archaeology, University of Oxford
