Asia Crossroads installation
October 2003
The wares that come closest in appearance and touch to jade come from the kilns at Longquan (“Dragon-spring”), southwest of Shanghai in Zhejiang province, during the late 12th and 13th centuries (Southern Song dynasty). The glaze is rich and thick, yet it fits the body of the ceramic without concealing quiet lines of carved pattern or subtly molded shapes in the decoration. By the 14th century, greenwares were in great demand all over Asia, particularly in the Muslim world, and in every market there was an attempt to produce a homegrown version of the Chinese original.
