Porcelain City: Jingdezhen is a display of contemporary works in porcelain by four artists from the UK, Japan and China: Roger Law, Felicity Aylieff, Ah Xian and Takeshi Yasuda. All their works have been made in collaboration with the network of small porcelain factories which make up the vibrant porcelain city of Jingdezhen in China: a site of huge historical significance in the production of porcelain. Its importance is illustrated through the important collections of Chinese porcelain held by the Museum.

A gift in your will
You may not have thought of including a gift to a museum in your will, but the V&A is a charity and legacies form an important source of funding for our work. It is not just the great collectors and the wealthy who leave legacies to the V&A. Legacies of all sizes, large and small, make a real difference to what we can do and your support can help ensure that future generations enjoy the V&A as much as you have.
