About Colours and Contrast: Ceramic Traditions in Chinese Architecture

Ancient Chinese halls are celebrated for their majestic rooflines. Their finish and visualmass have evolved to meet the tastes of patrons and to signal the role of their occupants,whilst of course ensuring structural robustness. However, the visual impact of thesestructures comes chiefly from their ceramic ornament. Indeed, travellers through thecenturies would first have glimpsed a distant city by the sunlight glinting from its tallestrooftops. These important ceramics can sometimes engage fully with establisheddisciplines such as architecture or fine ceramics, but in Colours and Contrast ClarenceEng cogently argues that they be studied in their own right. He introduces the aesthetics,history and technology of Chinese architectural ceramics, demonstrates that similarlevels of skilled expertise were applied both to glazed and unglazed ornament, anddescribes their special contribution to structures designed primarily to delight theviewer, such as screen walls and pagoda
