An Enamel Revolution: China and the World

An Enamel Revolution explores the fusion of art, technology and international trade that pushed the boundaries of enamel decoration in China from the 1600s. Featuring enamelled bowls, bottles, teapots and tableware that are intricately detailed and visually striking, it examines how Chinese workshops developed new techniques for enamelling porcelain, glass and copper - refining their skills through experimentation with colour and materials - and shows how Chinese products were adapted for European export markets.
