LOVELL, HIN-CHEUNG
Illustrated Catalogue of Ting Yao and Related White Wares in the Percival David Foundation of Chinese Art
School of Oriental and African Studies, Percival David Foundation of Chinese Ar, London. 1964. Soft cover. Book, English text.; Paperback.; 15,5 x 24,5 cm; 0.2 Kg; 69 pages plus addendum with 12 pages, with black and white illustrations.; Used with signs of wear on the interior and exterior.; Section 4 of the catalogue series depicting the collection of the Percival David Collection.; "This section of the catalogue is based on a thesis entitled 'The Early White Wares in the Percival David Foundation of Chinese Art', prepared under my supervision and presented for the degree of M.A. in the University of London by Mrs. Hin-cheung Lovell, formerly Miss Leung Hin-cheung. The degree was awarded with a mark of distinction in December 1963. Mrs. Lovell was educated in Hong Kong, where she read English and History at the University, and Graduated B.A. with First Class Honours. After service in the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto, she came to London and was awarded a studentship at the School of Oriental and African Studies for two years, during which she carried out the research recorded in her thesis. The present section of the Catalogue includes some of the rarest and most beautiful objects in the Percival David Collection, though the number of items is smaller than that in previous sections. Knowledge of the subject-matter, however, has been considerably extended during and since the Second World War, mainly by Chinese and Japanese scholars whose work is not widely known in the West, and the collation and exposition of their discoveries have called for a longer introduction than would otherwise be required. Mrs. Lovell has clarified the problems involved in the study of the early white wares, contributed to the solution of some of them, defined the present limits of our knowledge, and suggested profitable lines of advance." foreword by S. Howard Hansford, Head of the Percival David Foundation. Good/No Jacket.

MACINTOSH, DUNCAN
Chinese Blue and White Porcelain
Book Marketing Ltd, Hong Kong. 1988, 2nd Edition. (ISBN: 9622110460). Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, English text; Hardcover (with dust jacket); 22.5 x 29 cm; 1.17 Kg; 181 pages with colour illustrations throughout.; Used with signs of wear on the dust jacket and interior. Previous owner sticker glued to the front free endpaper. The dust jacket is protected with a tight clearcover.; Blue and White porcelain has been in the mainstream of Chinese ceramic production since the beginning of the fifteenth century, but, nevertheless, has at times had a somewhat chequered history. When it first appeared in the fourteenth century Chinese connoisseurs ahd regarded it as vulgar and garish, and a hundred years later, after receiving immense Imperial patronage during the Xuande reign, was the victim of an austere puritanical reaction. Since the Chenghua reign later in the fifteenth century, however, "blue and white" has gone from strengh, and in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries had an immense effect on porcelain production in the West. In this new history, the author traces the history of "blue and white" from its uncertain beginnings to the end of the Qing Dynasty. Considerable attention is also paid throughout to social and political events so that the reader can see something of the purely "human" conditions that were contemporary with the production of the porcelain. "This book will be of value not only to the expert, but also to the beginner who will find, in a handy form, much of value when evaluating the authenticity, provenance and dating of Chinese 'blue and white'." - from the Oriental Art review of the First Edition. Good/Dust Jacket Included.

MANGINIS, GEORGE
China Rediscovered: The Benaki Museum Collection
Haus Publishing Limited, United Kingdom. 2016, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 9781910376584). Soft cover. Book, English text; Paperback; 24.3 x 24.5 cm; 0.791 Kg; 144 pages with 160 colour illustrations.; STILL WRAPPED IN PLASTIC: This book examines the 'new orientation of ideas' on Chinese material culture in early 20th century London under the influence of a circle of enthusiasts and scholars, preeminent among which was George Eumorfopoulos (1863-1939), a Greek origin London businessman and collector. These ideas are placed within the context of earlier encounters between China and the West through trade and diplomacy as they unravelled between the 16th century and the late 19th century. The objects discussed form part of the Benaki Museum collection of Chinese art, in its majority donated by Eumorfopoulos between 1929 and 1936; this collection is a rare 'time capsule' of the taste and preoccupations of the pre-World War II period with regards to China. The years between the collapse of the Qing dynasty in 1911 and the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949 marked an 'opening up' of China to the rest of the world and coincided with the first archaeological excavations of the country's early cultures. Situated in London, a centre of imperialist power and global finance, George Eumorfopoulos and his entourage were instrumental in acquiring, assessing, interpreting and manipulating the previously-unseen objects. Eumorfopoulos also acted as an intermediary between the contemporary art scene (the tenets of which informed his taste in the first place) and these ancient artifacts, giving rise to the 'studio pottery' movement in England and beyond. The years of isolation which followed allowed aspects of this 'vision' to become canonical and influence scholarly production on Chinese material culture. Research over the last 25 years has allowed a reassessment of this vision. This ground-breaking publication perceives approximately 100 artifacts as 'actors' within constantly evolving 'sets of action' as players in a game of power, knowledge and taste. This is a book about China and the West in the 20th century and the roles antiquity and its material manifestations acted in the re-negotiation of this cultural interplay.; George Manginis has taught History of Islamic and Byzantine Art and History of Chinese Ceramics for SOAS/University of Londo, the New College of the Humanities, the Victoria & Albert Museum, the British Museum, the Benaki Museum in Athens, the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha. He is currently Teaching Fellow at The University of Edinburgh. He is the author of Mount Sinai: a History of Pilgrims and Travellers (Armchair Traveller, 2016). New/No Jacket.

JOURDAIN, MARGARET & JENYNS, R. SOAME
Chinese Export Art: In the Eighteenth Century
Spring Books, Middlesex. 1967. Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, English text; Hardcover (with dust jacket); 25.7 x 19 cm; 0.600 Kg; 152 pages with black-and-white illustrations; Used book with signs of wear, namely some yellowing on the outside text block and on the front and rear free endpaper. Minor signs of wear in the interior. The dust jacket is now protected with a clearcover.; Chinese fine arts found a "sellers market" in eighteenth-century Europe. Fashionable caprice demanded that the great houses of the day should boast, if not a Chinese Room, then at least a collection of Chinese porcelains, lacquer goods, ivories, silks, and wall papers. This fascinating book gives a detailed and very well documented account of the China trade, in which Britain and the merchants of her East India Company eclipsed all other European nations. The authors, both expert authorities on antiques and ceramics, discuss changing European tastes in Chinese goods and show how the Chinese production of goods especially for the European market had a profound influence on design and decoration, particularly in England and France. Much of the book is the result of original research, the authors having studied the diaries, journals, letters, bills and export orders of many merchants and travellers. The comprehensive collection of black and white illustrations shows examples of Chinese fine arts in many private collections in England as well as in the priceless collections of the British Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum.; "A handsome volume dealing with a subject that has suffered from a strange neglect. Admirably illustrated." review from The Literary Supplement. Good/Dust Jacket Included.

Luso - American Development Foundation, Lisbon, Portugal. 1997. (ISBN: 9729724601). Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, English text; Hardcover (cloth with dust jacket); 24 x 31 cm; 2.552 Kg; 230 pages with illustrations in colour; New book with signs of shelf wear.; A House in Lisbon tells the history of the building situated on the Rua do Sacramento à Lapa, 21, the current headquarters of the Luso-American Development Foundation. It is a history of the people who have lived in this house since 1757, imprinting it with their mark and their memory. Built by João Fernandes de Oliveira, who for many years held the Brazilian diamond contract, the house was subsequently occupied by the Viscounts of Santarém and Beire, the apostolie nuncio Cardinal Di Pietro, and a host of other personalities who afford us a vivid glimpse into Lisbon's history during the past two hundred years. In addition, research on the house has made it possible to trace the urban development of the surrounding neighbourhood, Lapa, contributing surprising elements to our understanding of the period dominated by the Marquis of Pombal.nThe struggle between the Trinitarian sisters and the Absolutist Power sheds new light on the various twists of a reality still shrouded in myth.
