This project will explore how English porcelain came to develop, focusing in particular on the work of the 18th-century Chelsea and Bow factories, the first two manufacturers in Great Britain to produce the so-called soft-paste porcelain, created at the time to replicate the highly coveted Chinese and Japanese export porcelain and to compete with European counterparts in Meissen, Du Paquier and Chantilly. Bringing together porcelain collections at the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A), the Ashmolean Museum, and Newham Archives, the project will use the expanded capacity of the V&A's CapCo-funded Scientific Laboratory to trace London porcelain experimentation, manufacturing and trade networks, showcasing little known objects from the three collections. It will demonstrate the uses of science-led analysis to generate new understandings in heritage and cultural history research, the role of the V&A Lab as a national hub for heritage science, and will offer the general public opportunities for new ways of engaging with ceramics collections through the V&A Lab. The public engagement programme will include 'museum scientist for a day' workshops for 6th form students, ceramics making sessions in which historic porcelain recipes will be used to create new work, as well as London ceramics walks and a new Bow ceramic display at Stratford Library, showcasing Newham Archives' little-known ceramics collections.In considering Bow and Chelsea we will be bringing together two areas of London occupied by current and future V&A sites - South Kensington in West London and Stratford in East London (where a new collections Storehouse and a new V&A Museum are due to open in 2024 and 2025 respectively), both with a strong focus on craft, making and innovation. The scientific analysis of the select porcelain pieces will provide a unique opportunity to focus on the process of experimenting with, designing, making and manufacturing much-desired western white body porcelain, and explore how the creativity and ingenuity of 18th-century ceramics pioneers may provide inspiration for current and future makers and artists.

This project will explore how English porcelain came to develop, focusing in particular on the work of the 18th-century Chelsea and Bow factories, the first two manufacturers in Great Britain to produce the so-called soft-paste porcelain, created at the time to replicate the highly coveted Chinese and Japanese export porcelain and to compete with European counterparts in Meissen, Du Paquier and Chantilly.该项目将在维多利亚和阿尔伯特博物馆（V＆A），Ashmolean博物馆和纽汉姆档案馆（Newham Archives）汇集瓷藏，将使用V＆A Capco资助的科学实验室的扩大能力来追踪伦敦瓷器实验，制造和贸易网络，展示了三个集合中的鲜为人知的对象。它将证明科学领导的分析的用途是在遗产和文化史研究中产生新的理解，即V＆A实验室作为遗产科学枢纽的角色，并将为通过V＆A实验室与陶瓷收藏的新方式提供新的公众机会。公众参与计划将包括“六年级学生的一天的博物馆科学家”研讨会，陶瓷制作会议，其中历史悠久的瓷食谱将用于创建新作品，以及伦敦陶瓷的步行以及在斯特拉特福图书馆的新船尾陶瓷展示，并在新罕布什尔州库存库中展示了伦敦鲜为人知的堡垒，我们将占领了伦敦的两个领域。 - 西伦敦的南肯辛顿和东伦敦的斯特拉特福德（分别将在2024年和2025年开放一个新的收藏库和新的V＆A博物馆），都非常关注手工艺，制作和创新。对精选瓷器作品的科学分析将为专注于实验，设计，制造和制造备受疑问的西方白色体瓷器的过程提供独特的机会，并探索18世纪陶瓷先驱的创造力和创造力如何为当前和未来的制造商和艺术家提供启发。
