Reclaiming Splendor: Ceramic Design by Chunmao Huang

New exhibition of porcelain tableware from China, which has never before been seen in the United States. In 2016, China’s premier ceramic designer Chunmao Huang created banquet ware for Peng Liyuan, the First Lady of China. At her request he designed her banquet ware for the G20 summit, which was held at a historically distinguished restaurant on the shore of Hangzhou, China’s famous West Lake. Turning her favorite color turquoise into a glaze, Chunmao Huang used this color to inspire his invention of a spectacular ensemble of porcelain recalling the past glories of Chinese ceramic history. As a result, he has introduced to the world a provocative and beautiful new assessment of the art of ceramic design.
