  • More about Yaozhou Wares From Museums and Art Institutes Around the World: Including Yaozhou Tribute Wares

Yaozhou ware, a Chinese celadon made from the 7th to 14th centuries, evolved with black, brown, lead glazed, and black-on-white painted ceramics in the Tang dynasty. During the Five Dynasties period, white-bodied wares with blue-green glazes emerged. The Northern Song and Jin dynasties saw more olive-toned celadon glazes, while the Jin dynasty declined and began manufacturing folk ware. Yaozhou Wares from Museums and Art Institutes Around the World showcases illustrations and descriptions of the finest Yaozhou wares in private and public collections, including official wares requisitioned for imperial use.

Yaozhou ware is one of the finest Chinese celadons, made in north China over a period of 700 years, from the 7th to the 14th centuries. Their style developed and changed over time. In the Tang dynasty (618-906) black, brown, lead glazed and black-on-white painted ceramics were made. During the Five Dynasties period (907-960) a technical peak was achieved, and white-bodied wares with beautiful blue-green glazes appeared. During the Northern Song and Jin dynasties (906-1279) more olive-toned celadon glazes became the norm, their intricate decoration and lustrous surfaces supplying a unique aesthetic. At the end of the Jin dynasty the kilns declined and started to manufacture folk ware.

Yaozhou Wares from Museums and Art Institutes Around the World gathers illustrations and descriptions of some of the finest Yaozhou wares in private and public collections around the globe. The account considers ceramics in sections, according to their form and decoration, and includes the finest-quality 'official wares' requisitioned for imperial use. Copious illustrations are augmented by a scholarly essay. Highlighting over 400 pieces of Yaozhou ware, the book contains 711 colour and 3 black-and-white illustrations from 56 major museums and art institutes, and will inspire collectors, students and anyone with a love for Chinese ceramics.
