The art of Jingdezhen porcelain is being showcased at Wynn Palace through artworks and technology at the integrated resort operator’s exhibition titled “Hello China, Hello Macao - The Odyssey of Jingdezhen Porcelain: A Heritage Voyage from Macao to the World”.
Jingdezhen City is located in Jiangxi Province.
Inaugurated last week, the exhibition is one of the Special Exhibitions organised by the six integrated resort operators for Art Macao and is divided into two sections, one being at the Cotai integrated resort’s Illuminarium and the other at its Palace Reserve Club Gallery.
At Illuminarium, 4K ultra HD projections are used to present the journey of Chinese ceramics from Jingdezhen to the rest of the world, all told over four chapters. A statement last week from the integrated resort operator noted that it follows the theme “A Thousand Years of the Ceramic Road ∙ A Fusion of Civilizations”.
Meanwhile, the exhibits at the Palace Reserve Club Gallery are presented through a collaboration by over 30 national and contemporary art masters, with four varieties of porcelain on show. The exhibition’s highlights, according to a recent Wynn Palace statement, include the “Macau Science 1” ceramic series and Buccleuch Vases* from the company’s own collection.
The ongoing exhibition coincides with the UNESCO World Heritage Nomination of the Imperial Kiln Sites of Jingdezhen, according to a statement in an Art Macao booklet about the ongoing exhibitions.
“As a historic nexus of the Maritime Silk Road, for generations Macau has served as a vital conduit for cultural exchange through porcelain. This exhibition builds upon that legacy, employing technological innovation to honour Jingdezhen’s ceramic heritage and propel it forwards”, the statement added.
The free-admission exhibition runs through October 19 and one can visit it from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. It is closed on Mondays.
* The Buccleuch Vases are a pair of renowned Chinese porcelain vases from the Kangxi period (1662–1722) of the Qing Dynasty. They are considered masterpieces of famille verte (“green family”) enamel decoration, a vibrant overglaze technique featuring green, red, yellow, and other colours. They were made in Jingdezhen during the early 18th century, and they are named after the Duke of Buccleuch, a Scottish nobleman who once owned them. – DeepSeek
