Discover the splendor of Jian ware bowls at the National Museum of China in Beijing! Jian ware, originating from the late Tang Dynasty (618-907) in today’s Jianyang district, Nanping, Fujian province, is renowned for its black-glazed bowls. Flourishing in the Song Dynasty (960-1279) and continuing to evolve over a thousand years, this ancient craft has been revitalized by contemporary artisans. Join us at the exhibition to explore the world of Jian ware and marvel at the brilliance forged by earth and fire.
