Visited the “Asian Civilization Museum” here in Singapore and found a fun exhibition featuring the findings of a Tang Dynasty Chinese merchant vessel that sunk in the waters off the coast of Indonesia sometime in the 1300’sAD. Thousands of ceramics that were bound for trade in the West. I love looking and reading about historic pottery and kilns and how fired clay developed and evolved over the centuries. This was such a snapshot in time from a particular kiln in the city of Changsha which I think today is near Guangzhou in South China. This is 14th century stuff.
