metadata.value: In the two decades since the establishment of the people’s Republic of China, the challenges
  facing porcelain production have changed significantly. Porcelain production is one of the
  most important and oldest traditions in China. In the 1950s, porcelain craftsmen became
  involved in the creation of new forms of interior plastics. Many of the pieces they created are
  now part of museum collections and represent the history of the development of Chinese
  interior porcelain. Using the example of three museums and three reference monuments, the
  article examines the key trends in the development of porcelain art and stylistic changes that
  occurred during this period. The following museums have been selected as examples to showcase
  the specifics of Chinese porcelain art from this period: the China Ceramic and Porcelain
  Museum located in Jingdezhen City, which is the country’s first major art museum specializing
  in ceramics; the Chinese Fine Arts Museum in Beijing, which specializes in collecting,
  researching and displaying works of Chinese artists of modern and contemporary eras; and
  the Guangdong Folk Art Museum, which specializes in collecting, researching and displaying
  Chinese folk art. All of these museums are engaged in collecting porcelain, including interior
  porcelain plastics from the mid-20th century. In the collections of the aforementioned museums,
  three works were selected for analysis. These are three paired compositions created in the second half of the 1950s: the sculpture “An Old Man and a Child with a Peach” by Zeng
  Longsheng, “Good Aunt from the Commune” by Zhou Guozhen and “Fifteen coins. The rat
  case” by Lin Hongxi. These porcelain compositions reveal close relations with Chinese national
  culture and not only reflect various scenes, but are also aimed at expanding the role of
  porcelain in decorating residential interiors.
