Pre-dating the Neolithic period, ceramic wares are some of the earliest man-made objects to integrate science, technology and the arts. A close examination of ceramics can reveal the creative advances of individuals in various cultures and time periods, and reflect a society\u2019s broader development and technical progress. With a long history of innovation and craftsmanship, celadon wares (\u9752\u91c9\u5668) have provided a crucial reference point for the study of ceramic production in China. The term \u2018celadon\u2019 historically refers to specific types of ceramics coated with a green-coloured glaze. Taking its name from a French literary character known for his distinctive green attire, some scholars prefer to avoid this arbitrary Western construction and instead apply the term \u2018greenware\u2019. <\/p>\n
Constant advances in raw material selection, firing techniques and the shaping of forms have enabled green-glazed ceramics to develop continuously over the past millennia. The UMAG collection of celadon spans a period of more than fifteen hundred years of celadon\u2019s history, from the early lead-glazed pottery of the Han (\u6f22\u671d; 202 BCE\u2013220 CE) to the stunning Guan wares of the Song dynasty (\u5b8b\u671d; 960\u20131279 CE), providing a rich overview of the traditions and transitions of these widely-coveted objects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","location_type":[350136],"event_category":[373483,373317],"area_type":[350138],"event_language":[],"series":[388996,388997,388998],"event_category_other":[],"class_list":["post-1333834","event","type-event","status-publish","hentry","location_type-indoor-en","event_category-visual-arts-antiquities-en","event_category-visual-arts-en","area_type-local","series-umag_starts-2021","series-arts-scheme-umag_starts-2021","series-umag_starts","search-detail"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/1333834","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1333834"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"location_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location_type?post=1333834"},{"taxonomy":"event_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_category?post=1333834"},{"taxonomy":"area_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/area_type?post=1333834"},{"taxonomy":"event_language","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_language?post=1333834"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=1333834"},{"taxonomy":"event_category_other","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_category_other?post=1333834"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
