The Foundation has an exceptional collection of stonewares from the Song (960-1279) and Yuan (1279-1368) dynasties, including examples of the very rare Ru and Guan wares. Among the justly famous blue and white porcelains are two unique temple vases wtih inscriptions dating them to AD 1351 and a fine range of wares from the 15th century onwards. A wide variety of polychrome wares are also well represented, and these include examples of the delicate doucai wares from the Chenghua period (1465-87) as well as a remarkable group of the exquisite 18th century porcelains traditionally known as Gu yue xuan.
