In the museum, ancient Chinese ceramic ware were also displayed. Chinese ceramic ware shows a continuous development since the per-dynastic periods, and is one of the most significant forms of Chinese art.
Out of the Chinese ware which were there in the museum, most of them belonged to "Blue and White wares." These designate white pottery and porcelain decorated under the glaze with a blue pigment, generally cobalt oxide. The decoration is commonly applied by hand, by stenciling or by transfer-printing. Usually these were pots or plates of great value.
The following are two photographs taken by me, of The Chinese Ware which were displayed in the museum
The drawings in these were exceptionally beautiful with the perfect match of blue textures in white back ground. The curves and other shapes used, added more beauty and value to them. These are believed to be gifts to the ancient Kings who ruled Sri Lanka by the rulers in China, in order to strengthen the political affairs between the two nations.
