Blue and white and pastel: porcelain as daily ware

Several pieces of porcelain used as everyday items. A large blue-and-white porcelain jar with aquatic plants placed on the floor, a famille rose jar used as a lamp base, and a stack of bowls and plates piled on an open shelf. The porcelain is not enshrined but shows signs and positions of use. Their blue and white stand out against a dark background. Avoid: locking porcelain in a glass display cabinet, arranging them neatly in sets, using brand new antique replicas, having so much porcelain that it becomes an antique shop.

幾件被當成日用品的瓷器。青花的大缸養著水生植物放在地上、粉彩的罐子當成檯燈底座、一疊碗盤堆在開放層架上。瓷器沒有被供起來,而是有使用的痕跡與位置。它們的藍與白在深色背景裡跳出來。避免:把瓷器鎖進玻璃展示櫃、成套整齊地排列、使用嶄新的仿古工藝品、讓瓷器多到變成古董店。
