4. Reviewing ancient maritime trade in Chinese porcelain

National Museum of China (Sept 4- Jan 29)

The exhibition, A Sail Over Miles, offered a brief review of the ancient Silk Road in ceramics. It navigated the manufacturing, export and shipping routes from the Tang Dynasty (618-907) to the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) with over 300 ceramic relics, including a pot excavated from the wreckage of Nanhai No 1, a Chinese cargo ship dating back more than 800 years.

The exhibition also showed Japanese, Korean and British ceramics, reflecting the influence of China's porcelain-making techniques in local industries.
