Excellent table and shelf appearance. "... Of The Dutch East India Company With Particular Reference To Ceramics With The V.O.C. Monogram, The Cape Market, And South African Collections". The standard work on the subject, this book contains a summary of the ceramic trade of the Dutch East India Company with particular reference to the Cape, a description of the kinds of ceramics sent there from Batavia in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and, through a study of the inventories of deceased estates in the Cape Archives, an account of their surprisingly early importance in the social life of the Colony. A chapter surveys the strengths and weaknesses of South African collections and discusses the role of museum, auctioneer, and dealer in the life of the collector. In addition there is a major section on all the various ceramics with the V.O.C. monogram which includes material from museums in other countries, particularly Holland, and takes account of the continued use of the monogram in the nineteenth century on the well-known Delft tobacco or snuff jars. Oriental martavans, and Chinese porcelain enamelled at Canton with subjects of special interest to South Africans - the arms of Cape families and the Dutch fleet in Table Bay - are also examined in detail. This book is illustrated with photographs from South African public and private collections and, in the case of the V.O.C. section, overseas museums as well. There are a number of line-drawings and text figures by the author.
