The Song Dynasty marked the pinnacle of Chinese ceramic artistry. In this era of flourishing kilns across the north and south, exquisite forms and glazes reflected imperial taste and literati sensibilities. The Deji Art Museum’s collection features masterpieces from the Five Great Kilns—Ru, Guan, Ge, Ding, and Jun—as well as celebrated examples from Jian, Cizhou, Yaozhou, Longquan, Jizhou, and Hutian kilns. These works capture both refined elegance and the charm of daily life, providing invaluable insights into Song-era aesthetics, lifestyles, and ceramic craftsmanship.
