From August 18 to September 18, the exhibition of exquisite celadon of the Six Dynasties in the museum collection of Jiangning District Museum in Jiangning District, Nanjing was held in Shaoxing Museum.
The exhibition showcases a total of 80 pieces (sets) of celadon ware from the Six Dynasties period, including daily utensils such as pan mouth pots, chicken head pots, jars, cups, and bowls, as well as daily miscellaneous utensils such as candlesticks (lion shaped insertions), incense sticks, tiger seeds, and spittle pots, as well as elegant stationery such as inkstones, pen washes, water bowls, and water jets, as well as funeral utensils such as stoves, pigs, chickens, dogs, ducks, and their pens, and stacked plastic jars. There are numerous categories and beautiful shapes, reflecting the basic appearance of celadon from the Six Dynasties.
The celadon of the Six Dynasties dates back to the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Sui and Tang dynasties. The Yue kiln in Shaoxing area was the main production area of celadon during the Six Dynasties, and also represented the highest achievement in firing technology at that time. In the permanent exhibition of the Shaoxing Museum, there are also numerous collections of exquisite celadon from the Six Dynasties. By visiting two exhibitions, visitors can intuitively and vividly experience the similarities and differences between the six dynasty celadon unearthed in the two places, thus gaining a more comprehensive understanding of the six dynasty celadon and its culture.
