They are displayed alongside celadon ware, which was an export product of Lower Myanmar in the 15th century. Also an ash glaze ware but fired at a higher temperature, its discovery at historical kiln sites inspired a revival of the tradition in the pottery community.In this session, Dr Myo Thant Tyn shares the motivations for reviving the knowledge of ash glazing as a part of Myanmar’s pottery culture. During the trials, the traditional formula was found to be incompatible with current kiln conditions and a new recipe was eventually developed. Join us and find out about the process from which celabon emerged. This event is co-organised with NUS Department of Southeast Asian Studies on the occasion of its silver jubilee.Exhibition runs until December 2017.Image: Head of a high ranking official (detail), greenware, 8.2 x 4.9 x 5.2 cm.
