SUMMARY:In Praise of Teapots
DESCRIPTION:Our November 25 speaker & collector\, SEACS member and councillor Tim Clark covered the origin and development of the teapot in China. Once the dedicated function of this pouring vessel was established\, the potters of Yixing unleashed their creativity in expressing its myriad forms. This led to a beautiful marriage of form and function which inspired potters in England to make their own impact on this art form. \nDownload the flyer here.

SUMMARY:Angkorian Stoneware Production 9-15C
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, we continue looking at Cambodian ceramics. Angkorian kilns and ceramics dating from the early 9th century to the end of the 15th century are assessed within an evolutionary framework. We conclude that kiln technology and the production of Angkorian stoneware ceramics advanced in two primary phases\, which our speaker\, Dr. Ea Darith\, will introduce during his presentation\, based on 20 years of laboratory research and intensive excavations.

SUMMARY:Update on Yuan Blue-and-White Ceramics   元青花研究的几个问题
DESCRIPTION:This programme will be held in Chinese. For the Chinese abstract click here. The programme will be simultaneously translated into English and each slide has a summary of key points in both 中文 and English. \nMost kiln sites of Yuan blue-and-white production that have been discovered to date are in Jingdezhen\, concentrated in Hutian (湖田) and Lao Cheng (老城\, meaning the ‘old town’ areas). Evidence from the latest archaeological finds show that the production of blue-and-white in Jingdezhen had begun by 1330 at the latest. Technological innovation was the key driver for the production of large-sized blue-and-white wares. The diversity of decorative motifs and designs demonstrates the multiplicity of cultural sources\, including Islamic culture\, which had a major impact.  \nThe Yuan government actively encouraged overseas trade and taxes collected from international trade was a key source of revenue. Blue-and-white porcelain (青花瓷) became the most important export wares of the period\, mainly to Islamic regions and Southeast Asia. Production  was managed by the Fuliang Porcelain Bureau (浮梁瓷局)\, Fuliang being the former name of Jingdezhen. Production could have been intended for the Yuan imperial court and other government bureaus as well as for the private sector. \nAbout the Speaker:\nChen Kelun (陈克伦) is currently Senior Curator of the Shanghai Museum where he previously served as its Deputy Director from 2000 to 2015. He is also the Director of the Shanghai Jiao Tong University Museum\, Adjunct Professor at Fudan University in Shanghai\, a member of the Committee of the National Commission of Cultural Relics Appraisal\, and the Vice President of the Chinese Ancient Ceramics Society.  \nHe studied archeology in university and worked in the Zhejiang Provincial Museum as a research fellow in cultural relics after graduation. He later obtained a Masters degree from Fudan University. \nChen Kelun has conducted systematic studies on cultural relics\, archeology and museology and has published hundreds of academic papers in these fields. He is devoted to the research of Yue\, Longquan\, Song dynasty ci\, Yuan dynasty blue-and-white\, and Ming and Qing dynasty porcelain produced in Jingdezhen\, and has presented his findings and proposed new perspectives to high praised by scholars\, researchers and curators internationally. In addition\, he  has taught courses on cultural relics and museology at Fudan University and Shanghai Jiao Tong University for decades; some of his students have now become directors of several important museums in China.  \nHe was named an honorary director of the Bowers Museum in Los Angeles in 2005; and in 1998\, was awarded the Ordre National du Mérite at the Elysee Palace by former French President Jacques Chirac in recognition of his significant contribution to the study of antiquities\, the development of museums in China and for his work in the area of China and France’s cultural exchanges. In 2012\, he was a recipient of the special subsidy from the State Council of the People’s Republic of China for his outstanding contribution to Chinese art and culture\, and was recognised as an “Outstanding Scholar” by the American Friends of the Shanghai Museum in 2015. \nTo view a former address of Dr. Chen Kelun to the Asia Society (in Chinese)\, click here.

SUMMARY:Historical Shipwrecks in Singapore Waters: An Intimate Glance at their Ceramic Cargoes
DESCRIPTION:Remarkably\, the first ancient shipwreck ever found in Singapore waters is contemporary with 14th century Temasek\, and currently assumes this name. An excavation carried out in stages over four years resulted in the recovery of approximately 4.4 tonnes of ceramic shards and a handful of very significant intact pieces. The Temasek Wreck carried more Yuan dynasty blue-and-white porcelain than any other documented shipwreck in the world\, along with Longquan celadons\, shufu-ware and moulded qingbai-ware from Jingdezhen\, cruder qingbai-ware from Fujian kilns\, and brown-ware probably from Cizao (a town in Quanzhou). From the location of the site\, the many parallel finds from Singapore terrestrial sites\, and importantly a common dearth of large blue-and-white plates\, the ancient port of Singapore\, or Temasek\, was the most likely destination. \nThe second shipwreck has been identified as the Shah Muncher\, an Indian-built\, European-design Country Ship voyaging from Canton to Bombay. On 8th January 1796\, she was forced upon the rocks of Pedra Branca by the current. Approximately 5 tonnes of Chinese ceramics were recovered\, including an astounding variety of intact pieces. The Shah Muncher sank twenty-three years before Raffles re-established the port of Singapore. Nonetheless\, her cargo provides insights into the types of goods that would have been purchased by Singapore’s fledgling community along with those that would have been transhipped at the new port. \nThis talk\, which will be the 23rd annual William Willetts Lecture\, will begin at 4:00 pm SGT (immediately following SEACS’ 53 annual AGM\, which will be held prior to the lecture\, but is limited to SEACS members only). Our annual William Willetts Lecture is open to the public. For more information on the speaker and the event download the flyer here.

SUMMARY:Exciting New Ceramic Linkages between Angkor and China
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Sharon Wong investigates the possible technological transfer of ceramic production between Angkor and China during the 9th to 14th centuries. Combining archaeological findings in Angkor and China\, this talk discusses two distinctive ceramic products: covered boxes and roof tiles. How does  ceramics provide a new placing of Angkor and the port cities of China\, such as Guangzhou and Quanzhou\, into the interregional networks of maritime Asia? Finally\, this talk will discuss how archaeological ceramics could demonstrate the powerful kingship and the vivid social life in Angkor and Chinese societies during the 9th to 14th centuries.

SUMMARY:Conservation of the Yueh Hai Ching Temple on Philip Street
DESCRIPTION:Wak Hai Cheng Bio (also known as Yueh Hai Cheng Temple) sited along Philip Street\, Singapore\, underwent full-scale restoration works from 2010 to 2014. The speaker\, Yeo Kang Shua\, led the restoration work and published two books on the temple《粵海清廟：建築與歷史的對話》in 2020 and Divine Custody: A History of Singapore’s Oldest Teochew Temple in 2021. The absence of written sources and/or inscriptions to commemorate the founding of the temple led to much speculation as to the founding date\, but Professor Yeo’s research in the history of land tenure of Singapore and old maps and title deeds provides new evidence for the temple’s foundation. Careful ‘reading’ of the material culture (physical fabric) also guided the restoration works. \nIn this talk\, Professor Yeo will present an overview of the Wak Hai Cheng Bio conservation project\, highlighting specific issues with restoration/conservation of a plaster ornamentation with fresco painting\, as well as the replication of the roof’s ceramic shards ornamentation. \nAbout the speaker: Dr. Shua is an Associate Professor and Associate Head of Pillar (Research/Practice/Industry) at the Singapore University of Technology and Design. Trained as an architect and architectural historian\, his research interest is primarily in the area of architectural conservation. He has been involved in the restoration of some of Singapore’s religious and institutional buildings and was awarded the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation in 2010 and 2014.

SUMMARY:Champa Ceramics
DESCRIPTION:Champa (present-day central Vietnam) was once described as a maritime kingdom with a thriving trade in which ceramics became a significant commodity. The study of Champa ceramics enables us to gain a better understanding and awareness of Champa’s domestic economic network as well as its international trade relations. The Champa ceramics research program of Vietnamese archaeologists\, particularly the Institute of Imperial Citadel Studies (IICS)\, has yielded numerous significant new findings and insights over the years. On the basis of recent research findings\, this lecture will provide an overview of Champa ceramics\, their production\, distribution\, and international export. \nOur speaker\, Do Truong Giang is well known to many SEACS members\, having served as the honorary secretary of the Southeast Asian Ceramic Society from 2013– 2014 as well as being a previous speaker for the Society\, the Asia Research Institute\, and the Asian Civilisations Museum. \nTo see the original flyer\, click here.

SUMMARY:Surprising Ceramic finds emerge from the Musi River
DESCRIPTION:The distribution of ancient Chinese ceramics made for export to other parts of Asia\, the Middle East and as far as Europe\, principally via the sea route through Southeast Asia\, reveal many interesting facets. Large quantities of early Chinese ceramics from the Tang (618-907 CE)\, Song (960-1279 CE) and Yuan (1279-1368 CE) periods have been recovered from the Musi River by our speaker and a fellow collector over the years. \nThis talk will highlight the specimens recovered from the Musi River in Palembang\, Sumatra; former capital of the Srivijaya empire from the 7th-11th century.  Since all the ceramics came from the riverbed of the Musi River without any kind of documentation\, dating them pose a challenge. Our speaker\, Steven Ho Kah Hong\, will approach this by tracing shipwrecks with similar ceramic cargo that have been studied and comparing the Musi River ceramics with documented shipwreck specimens. \nTo see the original flyer\, click here. \nVenue:\nA e-talk by Steven Ho Kah Hong on ZOOM\nMembers and their guests only
