The OCS is delighted to announce that this year’s AGM Lecture will be delivered by Dr May Huang on An Analysis of the Birth of Yuan Blue-and-White Porcelain.

Dr Huang’s lecture draws on her latest researches on Yuan dynasty (1271–1368) blue-and-white porcelain. Building upon over 20 years of archaeological investigations, porcelain making and management practices in Jingdezhen, and utilising an interdisciplinary perspective that combines design thinking, business thinking and industrial thinking, Dr Huang’s research presents a holistic account of how Yuan blue-and-white came into existence.

Dr Huang’s lecture will address questions surrounding the production, design and markets for Yuan blue-and-white. Where did the technology for Yuan blue-and-white come from? How was it designed and made? Who were the consumers for Yuan blue-and-white porcelain? How did the export of Yuan blue-and-white porcelain to foreign markets affect the economy? What historical factors or mechanisms led to the emergence of Yuan blue-and-white porcelain?

Dr May Huang (Huang Wei) holds a doctorate from the Academy of Fine Arts of Tsinghua University and an MA from the School of Archeology and Museology of Peking University. She is also co-founder of the Dongjiao Institute for ceramic studies and has published numerous articles in Wenwu and other publications. She has extensive field experience in archaeological excavations.
