Percival David Foundation of Chinese Art, Chinese ceramics collection at British Museum, United Kingdom.
The gallery displays 1,700 Chinese ceramic pieces, including porcelain and stonewares, arranged chronologically from the 10th to 18th centuries in Room 95.
Sir Percival David began collecting Chinese ceramics in 1913 and made several trips to China, acquiring numerous pieces from the Forbidden City collection.
The collection features imperial porcelain from Jingdezhen, including the David Vases from 1351, representing the development of Chinese ceramic craftsmanship.
Visitors can access detailed information about Chinese ceramics through the foundation's library, housed within the School of Oriental and African Studies.
The collection contains rare Ru ware from the Song dynasty and a Ming dynasty chicken cup from Emperor Chenghua's reign.
