The Art Gallery has a wonderful historical Chinese display (no Longshan blackware I could find though) as well as Greek Attic ware.
Neolithic Chinese around 2400BC
(photos not from Art Gallery, glass too reflective)
But the thing I always forget is the burnished red and black Egyptian ceramics. Just how simple and timeless they are, but how old.
Pre-Dynastic Egyptian around 4000BC
Reflective glass cases - take the photo on quite an angle to the glass.
ReplyDeleteCarol Diebel and I used to do this for photos in an aquarium.
