Tang to Qing Dynasty, fourteen centuries of Chinese art, an amazing time span. China has given the world some great art from the early bronze age: sculpture, furniture, paintings, jade carving and porcelain manufacture. It is a sobering thought that the West could not make porcelain until the eighteenth century. With this blog, I have selected what I believe to be excellent examples of several periods: Tang pottery, Ming and Qing porcelain wares.
