The Tan family collection is focused on a selection of significant ceramic masterpieces that demonstrate the evolution of technology and art in China. These masterpieces were previously housed in well-known private institutions such as Meiyintang, Xiaoyazhitang, Alfred Clark, Frank Caro, John Bodie and others. Many of these pieces were featured in prominent public exhibitions and extensively documented in dedicated catalogues. The book showcases eighty ceramic masterpieces from the Tan collection, accompanied by articles and detailed descriptions. These provide insight into the characteristics of Chinese ceramic art and offer accurate records of their provenance. The aim of the book is to shed new light on cross-media cultural history and emphasise the global significance of Chinese ceramic art, a cultural heritage that has captivated the world. It is a testament to the rich and diverse cultural heritage of China, something that all can take pride in and appreciate.
