Adorning the Inner Court: Jun Ware for the Chinese Palace

University Teaching Gallery, Harvard Art Museums
32 Quincy Street,
Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA
May 20, 2017 To Aug 13, 2017


Detail: The Harvard Art Museums hold the largest and finest collection in the West of a rare and strikingly beautiful type of ceramic ware used in the private quarters of the Forbidden City, the Chinese imperial palace in Beijing. These numbered Jun wares—so named because each is marked on its base with a single Chinese numeral—have long been admired for their fine potting, distinctive shapes, and radiant purple and blue glazes.
