The Collection

The focus of The Chalre Collection is Chinese and Asian Tradeware Ceramics -- in other words, Ceramics that were traded throughout Asia. Tradeware Ceramics (Porcelain, Stoneware and Earthenware) tell the story of how the peoples of Asia forged social and commercial ties with each other during ancient times.

The Ceramic Art collection of Chalre Associates came about through the efforts of the firm's principals, Rebecca Bustamante and Richard Mills. It is their intention that a significant portion of The Chalre Collection become property of a museum foundation or other public body in the future.

In creating the collection, major recognition must be given to Jose (Joe) Yusef Makmak for his considerable support and friendship. Our thoughts are with Joe, formerly a prominent ceramic antiquities dealer in Philippines, who passed away in 2008.

The Story of

Whiteware Ceramics

White Porcelain and Stoneware Ceramics began to be made on a large scale at Jingdezhen and at many other southern kilns from the time of the Song dynasty (960 - 1279). The most famous was Qingbai (pronounced ching-pie). White Chinese Porcelain was traded throughout Southeast Asia. Until eclipsed by Blue and White Porcelain in the 14th century, it was the dominant Chinese Ceramic style of its era.

Qingbai (also called yingqing) translates literally as "clear bluish-white." The jade-like texture of the Ceramic results from the clear glaze that contains iron in small amounts. When applied over a white Porcelain body the glaze produces a greenish-blue colour. Some have incised or molded decorations.
