Summary:

"Rhenish stoneware was the first ceramic product to transcend the scope of European markets and spread across the globe. This is the basic concept that has given rise to the title of the workshop "Rhenish stoneware. Local product - global player". The workshop, organised by the LVR-LandesMuseum Bonn, the LVR-Amt fur Bodendenkmalpflege im Rheinland and the Department of Medieval Archaeology, University of Tübingen, aims to investigate the worldwide distribution, use and significance of Rhenish stoneware. Our workshop, kindly funded by the Fritz Thyssen Foundation, will allow us to bring together an international panel of experts from several continents and various scientific disciplines to discuss this category of objects in the context of various globalisation processes. This is particularly important if we are to overcome the inherent Eurocentric perspective that still dominates our field of research today."--Publisher.
