Description: Archaeological discoveries since the Cultural Revolution in China, art historical studies by scholars around the world, and technical analysis with modern instrumentation have radically advanced our knowledge of Chinese ceramics. Symposia held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art brought together a distinguished group of savants to evaluate the significance of recent scholarly contributions and explore prospects for future research. This bountifully illustrated volume makes available in more permanent form their considered thoughts and perceptions.
