Journal of International Ceramic Studies is a peer-reviewed international journal dedicated to advancing global research on historical ceramics, with a primary focus on stoneware and porcelain. Published in collaboration with the Society of International Ceramic Studies, the Journal investigates the complete life-cycle of these ceramics and their associated industries - from production organization and technological processes in private and official kilns, through short-distance or worldwide distribution as trade goods, diplomatic gifts, personal possessions, or functional containers, to diverse utilization patterns and ultimate archaeological contexts (including intentional/accidental deposition and refuse assemblages), or their continued significance as heirloom artifacts.

The journal seeks to explore socioeconomic interactions among historical producers, merchants, and users, while providing insights into present-day cultural dynamics and collaborations within and between societies.

We welcome disciplinary and interdisciplinary research on historical ceramics, including but not limited to:

• Archaeology

• Art history

• Economic history

• Material culture studies

• Ethnography

• Museology

Studies employing integrated multidisciplinary methodologies are strongly encouraged. While focusing on humanities-based approaches to high-fired ceramics, the Journal will consider exceptionally innovative archaeometric studies or earthenware research that significantly advances historical understanding.
