Description: 2002, (24,5 x 29,7 cm), 264 pp. English text, 444 colour ills. and some b/w. ills., clothb./d-jacket. The Ashmolean Museum's collection of Japanese export porcelain is perhaps the most comprehensive collection in the West. The present catalogue includes only the export wares, the Arita, Ko-Imari and Kakiemon porcelains of the years between about 1660 and 1740, the peak period of the trade. More than 400 pieces are included in the catalogue, each illustrated - some more than once - in colour, with some comparative material. This is probably the largest corpus of Japanese export porcelain published in any single volume, and will be an invaluable source for comparative studies. Many pieces have never been published before. / De collectie Japans export porselein van het Ashmolean Museum behoort tot de meest veelomvattende van de wereld. Deze catalogus toont het porselein gemaakt voor export: Arita, Ko-imari en Kakiemon geproduceerd tussen 1660 en 1740. Meer dan 500 illustraties van ruim vier honderd stukken sieren de ruim 260 pagina's van dit luxueus uitgevoerde boek.
