Sung dynasty porcelain: yum


The Transcendent Pig salutes a cousin

While working on something else, I just caught a teaser on Euronews about this exhibition marking the reopening of the National Palace Museum in Taiwan.

I'm a sucker for antique porcelain, and this stuff is sublime.

(BTW, Gung hei fat choi, everybody. It's the Year of the Fire Pig, which is supposed to be good for us Dragons. We'll find out...)

I remember the National Palace Museum well...we studied Chinese art there when I was on St. Olaf College's Term in China. Our group lived at Soochow University, which was just down the road from the NPM.

I often think I should have stayed in Taiwan; the biggest mistake I ever made in my life was getting on the plane that took me back to the States.
