The temporary exhibition hall of the Casa Museo of the Paolo and Carolina Zani Foundation brings together for the first time a selection of the most refined white and blue porcelain from the Zani collection, in an evocative setting that aims to recreate a “porcelain room”, as it happened in the past. in the homes of noble collectors.

Special guest in the House Museum is a flask of the moon from the collections of Palazzo Madama in Turin. It is a rare example from the Ming period (early 15th century), embellished with highly refined geometric and plant motifs painted in cobalt blue on the white porcelain.

The prestigious loan is an opportunity to enhance the extraordinary collection of over 98 pieces of Chinese and Japanese porcelain in the collection, works mostly made under the Ming and Quing dynasties. Through the twelve rooms that make up the exhibition path of the House Museum it is possible to admire extraordinary examples of Japanese porcelain Kakiemon, Chinese Imari, Dehua (Blanc de Chine), Céladon, of the pink, green, white and blue family of the Ming, Kangxi and Qianlong, almost always in dialogue with European examples of the eighteenth century made in the factories of Meissen, Vincennes, Sèvres, Doccia in Sesto Fiorentino and in the Royal Ferdinandea.
