The University of Hong Kong Museum Journal No. 3

The University of Hong Kong Museum Journal is devoted to the advancement of knowledge in the arts. It was the main outlet for the publication of research by both Chinese and overseas scholars. It was first published in 2003, and this third issue focused on Chinese ceramics and the maritime trade. The five articles were papers delivered at a symposium accompanying the exhibition “Chinese Ceramics and the Maritime Trade Pre-1700s” held on 16 June 2007 at the University Museum and Art Gallery. The symposium brought together archaeologists and ceramic scholars from China, Southeast Asia and Europe, highlighting recent advances in archaeological, maritime, and ceramic studies on export ceramics in the pre-1700 period.
