•Style and Symbol: Chinese Cloisonne from the Permanent Collection George Walter
Until 1 July 2001

Drawn from one of the largest collections of Ming and Qing period cloisonne outside China, the exhibit showcases household objects such as vases, candlesticks, dishes and jars as well as religious items such as incense burners, altar sets and Buddhist figures. In order to trace the evolution of styles and symbols in Chinese art through comparative artistic mediums, examples of porcelain, jade and furniture, also amassed by George Walter Vincent Smith in the 1800s, will be displayed alongside.
