　　中国宜兴陶瓷博物馆在建馆三十周年即将到来之际，从历年藏品中精选出一批紫砂陶瑰宝，编撰出版纪念画册《中国紫砂——中国宜兴陶瓷博物馆馆藏精品》，以此来弘扬陶艺文化、传承紫砂文脉，是宜兴陶瓷界和文化界的又一盛事。
　　宜兴是底蕴深厚、人文蔚盛的历史文化名城，素有“中国陶都”的美誉。以骆驼墩文化遗址为源头，早在7000多年前，宜兴先民就在太湖西岸点燃了文明篝火，从此薪火相传、代代不绝。从早期的原始青瓷、彩陶，到缸坛盆罐类粗陶，再至北宋时期的早期紫砂器、均陶，以及明清时期名扬天下的紫砂茶壶，无不见证了宜兴陶瓷无与伦比的灿烂和辉煌。新中国成立后，特别是改革开放以来，在一代代陶艺工作者的不懈努力下，古老的陶都再次焕发勃勃生机，宜兴陶瓷也迎来了新的发展机遇，续写着新的历史传奇。如今，典雅古朴的紫砂，如冰似玉的青瓷，端庄凝重的均陶，形美质坚的精陶，风姿绰约的美彩陶，在陶瓷世界中竞相绽放、各领风骚，被世人誉为宜兴陶艺的“五朵金花”，成为中外宾朋感知宜兴的“文化名片”。
　　始建于1983 年的中国宜兴陶瓷博物馆，是宜兴“陶艺皇冠”上的耀眼明珠，也是品类最齐全、数量最丰富、品质最上乘的陶瓷“博览园”。在陶博馆灿若星辰的馆藏中，发于宋、兴于明、盛于清、辉煌至今的紫砂陶无疑是最令人瞩目的一颗。千百年来，她以温润内敛、古雅蕴藉之姿风流冠世，广受推崇。此次，陶博馆通过编撰《中国紫砂—中国宜兴陶瓷博物馆馆藏精品》，向人们展示了历代紫砂名作的不同风采、传承有序的发展历史和博大精深的文化内涵，既是从专业视角对紫砂陶艺的深度解读，更是一次以陶为媒的心灵对话。
　　悠久独特的文化积淀，是宜兴这座城市源源不断的血脉所系、生生不息的灵魂所在；加快文化建设、打造文化强市，是我们责无旁贷的历史使命。希望陶博馆以建馆三十周年为契机，充分利用现有文化资源，进一步丰富馆藏、提升质量、扩大交流，真正打造成宜兴陶瓷艺术的殿堂、陶艺家倾心向往的圣地，为推动宜兴文化大发展大繁荣，建成名副其实的文化名城做出更大贡献！
