China

The Museum’s collection of Chinese ceramic art includes examples from the Neolithic to the end of the imperial era, exploring the earthenware, stoneware and porcelain traditions in China. Highlights in this rich collection include a fine selection of Song ceramics and an outstanding collection of blue and white wares from the Yongzheng and Qianlong eras of the Qing dynasty. Enameled wares, including those intended for export, comprise another important aspect of NOMA’s collection.
