The History of Chinese Porcelain
The history of Chinese porcelain, a story of innovation, trade, war, and forgery. We will explore the origins of porcelain in the 10th century, the explosion in trade between Europe and China of porcelain from the 17th century, and how European manufacturers began imitating Chinese porcelain from the late 18th century. To bring the story to life we will analyse in detail an antique collection of Chinese, British and Dutch porcelain, as well as a plethora of antique maps, paintings and photographs.
