“Celadon Breeze from the Sea: A Journey Through Zhejiang Celadon” traces centuries of craftsmanship and cultural exchange along the Maritime Silk Road. The exhibition features four sections — “Kiln Fires That Endure,” “Celadon Across the World,” “Sailing Across the Seas” and “Envoys of Exchange” — with archaeological objects forming the basis of a comprehensive narrative. “Kiln Fires That Endure” traces the evolution of Zhejiang celadon techniques and aesthetics. “Celadon Across the World” and “Sailing Across the Seas” draw on kiln sites, ports, shipwrecks and overseas archaeological finds to trace the history of Zhejiang celadon exports to Africa. “Envoys of Exchange” draws on the travels of Ibn Battuta to illuminate the shared history of China and Morocco.
