Soundings: Making Culture at Sea

The lightness and translucency of Chinese porcelain captivated consumers in Asia and Europe. This fascination fueled European trade for Asian goods and inspired regional efforts to reproduce the quality and decoration of Chinese ceramics using local clay and techniques. Porcelain objects populated European tables, including wares to serve imported Chinese tea. In these ways, global exchange fostered new cultures of taste as well as technical innovation.
