The opening ceremony of the exhibition will be held at 4.30 p.m. on Friday, 22nd August 2003. Mr. Huang Weiguo, vice-mayor of Foshan City, and three renowned contemporary artists, Mr. Yang Shanshen, Mr. L iu Zemian, and Mr. Liao Hongbiao, w i ll officiate at the ceremony. The function w i ll be hosted by Prof. Jenny F.S. So, director of the Institute of Chinese Studies. Throughout the M i ng and Qing periods, the rapid development of Jingdezhen and the imperial kilns outclassed many provincial kilns across China. Eventually only several provincial kilns producing ceramics different from that of Jingdezhen survived. Shiwan ware of Guangdong, representing one of these few kilns, has played a unique role in the history of Chinese ceramics. Shiwan kilns of Foshan produced the best known pottery sculptures and architectural elements of the Guangdong region. Shiwan potters adapted the Jun ware glaze of the Song/ Jin period (960-1234) to create a rich variety of sky blue, rose-violet, pomegranate-red, greenish-blue and flamb é glazes. Among the various categories, including daily wares, objects for the scholar's desk, interior decorations and tile decorations, figurines and animal models, represent the most unique tradition of Shiwan pottery. Since the Qing period, many talented artist-potters have risen to fame and their works have been much sought after. Mr. Leung Yee, founding president of the International Shiwan Pottery Association, has entrusted the Art Museum with his precious collection to be staged in this exhibition. There are 180 exhibits and a catalogue is published. Out of the 114 inscribed items, 77 pieces are works of revered artist-potters, or are products of prominent Shiwan pottery workshops and kilns. 5 暑期特刊 二零零三年八月十九日 Summer Supplement 19thAugust 2003
