Chinese ceramics from Brazilian collector exhibited in MET

#ChineseAntiqueMasterpieces"This exhibition presents ceramics made in China during the period between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries, when porcelain became a global luxury. By this time, Chinese porcelain had long been treasured elsewhere in Asia and in the Islamic World. Later, this longstanding inter-Asian trade began to impact the shapes and designs of some of the first porcelain objects traded to Europe.
