Thu, 1 Jul 10

A pair of vases from the Yuan dynasty in China, made from instantly-recognisable blue and white porcelain. Neil MacGregor, Director of the British Museum, describes the history of porcelain and the use of these vases in a temple setting. Historian Craig Clunas talks about the volatile world of Yuan China and writer Jenny Uglow tries to put her finger on why we find Chinese porcelain so appealing.
