Room 95 label text: PDF 20 Vase with guan-type glaze Sir Percival David’s collection was inspired partly by a desire to acquire objects with a Chinese ‘imperial’ connection or made in Chinese ‘scholarly taste’. This vase with a copy of a 官 (guan ‘official’) celadon glaze, invented in the Southern Song dynasty (AD 1127–1279), would have been admired by Ming and Qing gentry.
