From the 16th century people ordering ceramics from Jingdezhen and other kilns had the possibility of inscribing the wares with their own names. Such marks can tell us much about a ceramic's history including: who owned it and when, for which purpose it was ordered and why certain shape or colour was required. The exbition brings tothether important complementary objects from two of the finest collections of Chinese Ceramics in Europe, in the Percival David Foundation and the Victoria and Albert Museum. Together these objects help to present the first complete chronological overview of this fascinating yet little-researched subject.
