About this event
Dr Manginis
Between the mid-18th and early 19th centuries a group of 'export market' objects, mostly of porcelain, were produced in China with Armenian inscriptions, monograms and heraldic devices. Although rare, this little-studied group helps raise a number of questions on the objects themselves and also on their patrons, predominantly members of the Armenian diaspora living in the Qajar and Ottoman Empires and also in Europe.
Dr Manginis has a PhD from SOAS, and has taught various graduate and post-graduates courses, as well as being a tutor on the postgraduate diploma course, and has worked on innumerable museum collections in Greece
Organiser: Professor Doris Behrens-Abouseif
