Forms of Pleasure - Chinese Ceramics from Burial to Daily Life

Forms of pleasure is a narrative of the diversity and idealization of Chinese earthenware and stoneware, from its initial use in the funerary world to its appearance in the daily life of its inhabitants.
Although it is a narrative based on art objects, it is also a narrative of the culture of a sedentary people, whose fixed lands allowed not only for prosperous agriculture but also for a rich and diverse experimentation with ceramics, the secrets of which remained unknown in the Western world until the 18th century.
