AYERS, JOHN
Far Eastern Ceramics in the Victoria and Albert Museum
Sotheby Parke Bernet Publications by Philip Wilson Publishers Ltd, London. 1980, 2nd Edition. (ISBN: 0856670766). Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, English text; Hardcover (cloth with dust jacket); 27.3 x 37.4 cm; 2,190 kg; 174 pages with colour illustrations Includes ribbon bookmark.; Used with wear marks throughout the dust jacket, and a tear on the top left side of the dust jacket front cover. Interior with minor signs of wear. The dust jacket is now protected with a clearcover. Good copy overall.; First published in 1975 by Kodansha Ltd, Tokyo, as Oriental Ceramics: The World Great Collections, Volume 6, Victoria and Albert Museum.; The collection of oriental ceramics at the Victoria and Albert Museum is among the world's finest. Numbering over nine thousand items which are for the most part on permanent view to the public, it owes much to a long line of benefactors and to such gifted curator historians as Bernard Rackham, W.B. Honey and Arthur Lane, each of whom contributed to its unique character. The elegant Chinese porcelains so abundantly represented in George Salting's great bequest of 1910 are balanced by a comprehensive range of earlier wares that was notably reinforced in the late '30s by the acquisition of the Eumorfopoulos Collection for the nation. Japanese, Korean and South-east Asian wares are also very fully represented. The selection of ninety-four masterpieces, magnificently photographed in colour, together with an extended series of black-and-white illustrations, here provide an overall view of the collection for the first time. The choice was made by John Ayers, the Keeper and himself a noted authority, who also contributes descriptive notes and an introductory essay on the collection. Good/Dust Jacket Included.

CURTIS, JULIA B. WITH AN ESSAY BY LITTLE, STEPHEN
Chinese Porcelains of the Seventeenth Century: Landscapes, Scholars' Motifs and Narratives
China Institute Gallery, New York. 1995. (ISBN: 0295974672). Soft cover. Book, English text; Paperback; 21.5 x 28 cm; 0.745 kg; 168 pages with black-and-white and colour illustrations.; Used in very good condition. Minor signs of wear on the front and back cover. Interior as new.; Exhibition catalogue.; "According to Dr. Curtis, with the decline of the imperial court of the Ming dynasty in the early years of the seventeenth century, patronage of the kilns at Jingdezhen shifted to the scholar-official and merchant classes. Then, at the end of the century, as the Manchu established control over the country under a new dynasty, the Qing (1644-1911), patronage of the kilns was returned again to the imperial court. As a result, during much of the seventeenth century, the decorative schemes which appeared on the pots reflected the interests and concerns of non-imperial patronage groups - the scholar-officials and merchants. Taken in combination with the evidence of the painting on the pots themselves, the argument was compelling and intellectually elegant. As is so often the case in art exhibitions, the scholarship represents many years of hard work exploring collections, gathering information, trying out theoretical models, and constantly refining views and perceptions. This is certainly true of this exhibition; Julia Curtis has unstintingly thrown herself into the task for over a decade. In the writing of the catalogue, she has produced a noteworthy new body of research on the significance of the inscriptions, both prose and poetic, which are found on many of the porcelains." excerpt from the foreword by Candance J. Lewis, Director of the China Institute Gallery. Very Good/No Jacket.

Few other ethnographic museums are in possession of such a large number of specimens whose museum history can with certainty be traced backed to the 17th and 18th centuries. This catalogue is meant to be a tool for the further exploration of our collection. The description we have given of each object is restricted to a bare minimum. We are aware, however, that some of these descriptions may be incorrect.

A Gift of Heritage: Selection from the Xubaizhai Collection of Chinese Painting and Calligraphy (2 Volumes)
Unban Council, Hong Kong. 1992, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 9622151094). Hardcover. Book, English and Chinese text.; Hardcover (silk cloth without dust jacket - as issued. Two volumes in slipcase.); 28 x 37 cm x 6.5 cm; 5.4 Kg; Volume I, 412 pages with colours illustrations and a few fold outs, including text by Christina Chu, and Painting and Callygraphy images; Volume II, 122 pages with the catalogue entries, each with a caption in English and Chinese.; Used with signs of wear, namely on the exterior of the slipcase, which is faded on the top and bottom of the front. The hardcover volumes have minor signs of wear. Interior as new. Both volumes include a stamp stating "Complementary" on the rear of the front cover.; "In view of Hong Kong's geographical and cultural affinity to the Guangdong province, more works of art of Guandgond origin are available here for acquisition than those of other provinces. As a result, the Museum has succeeded in building up one of the most representative collections of Guangdong painting and calligraphy, but its collection of works by artists of non-Guandong origin remains relatively weak. This is reflected in the displays in the Chinese Fine Art Gallery where only Guangdong paintings and calligraphy together with 20th - century Chinese paintings are on show, but no works earlier than 20th century by masters of non-Guangdong origin are represented. This phenomenon has changed since the receipt of the Xubaizhai Collection into the Museum. After the opening of the Xubaizhai Gallery of Chinese Painting and Calligraphy on 26 September 1992, visitors to the Museum will be able to view the gems of Chinese painting and calligraphy in the context of Chinese fine art in China as a whole. The Museum's collection of Chinese fine art majoring in works by Guangdong masters was much expanded in scope in 1989 when Mr. Low Chuck Tiew donated his collection of Chinese painting and calligraphy dating from the 5th to the 20th century to the Urban Council. Known as the Xubaizhai Collection of Chinese Painting and Calligraphy, the collection was assembled by the determined efforts of Mr. Low over a period of fifty years. His aim was to build up a comprehensive coverage of Chinese painting particularly of the Ming and Qing periods. While the early periods in the development of Chinese painting and calligraphy were highlighted by pieces of Six Dynasties and Tang dynasty sutra writing and important works of Song and Yuan masters, the collection features a comprehensive coverage of works of major masters of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Masterpieces of the twentieth century by such masters as Wu Changshuo, Qi Baishi, Huang Binhong and Xu Beihong are also represented in the Xubaizhai Collection. This generous gift from Mr. Low Chuck Tiew changes the status of the collection of Chinese painting and calligraphy in the Museum of Art. From a provincial collection of Guangdong painting and calligraphy, the collection now has risen to a standard of international distinction." excerpt from the preface by Laurence C.S. TAM, Chief curator, Hong Kong Museum of Art, 20 July 1992. Good/No Jacket.

BOULAY, ANTHONY DU
Christie's Pictorial History of Chinese Ceramics
Phaidon, Christie's Limted. 1984, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 0714880159). Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, English Text, 22 x 28.6 cm, 1.404 Kg; 319 pages with over 1000 illustrations, including 200 in colour.; Used with signs of wear on the dust jacket, which is price clipped and has a tear on the back. The dust jacket is now protected with a clearcover.; Interior in very good condition.; Chinese ceramics are among the most popular works of art in the world. From the discoveries in the tombs of early emperors, it is clear that pottery and porcelain have had a high value in China for several millennia. In this book, Anthony du Boulay explains the history and development of ceramics in China from the Bronze Age to the nineteenth century. The hundreds of pictures are arranged in a historical sequence, each double page covering a definite period, place and style. The illustrations are grouped into chapters, covering periods, each of which is introduced by a brief and lucid text, outlining the historical trends. This reach subject has never before been treated with such a mass of illustration, giving collectors and students alike the opportunity to refer to styles and periods, and to compare and identify. Nearly all the pieces have passed through Christie's salerooms over recent years, and represent a cross-section of Chinese ware available to the collector. The illustrations thus show objects that are on the art market rather than pieces that can only be admired from a distance in museums. The book lists the auction values reached by the pieces illustrated, together with the date of the auction. Through this book the collector will become familiar with the appearance and the history of Chinese ceramics, the range of the illustrations creates an invaluable source of reference for every dealer, collector and student. The book is not only a useful tool; however, it also displays the beauty and variety of the work of Chinese potters throughout history. Good/Dust Jacket Included.

It covers the entire twentieth century, but gives particular emphasis to the 1950s and 1960s, when there was a boom in interest for the discipline and when both state and private patrons commissioned significant artworks.

From this period are preserved, among others, different bronze vessels of great beauty and complexity, used to offer food and wines to the ancestors. This shows us that already at that time the gastronomy and the feast were of great importance in the culture and the rite. In addition, the bronze denoted power as evidenced by the fact that many of those vessels were commissioned by kings and nobles, who took them on their last trip to enjoy them for all eternity. With the Iron Age (4th century BC), the bronzes will lose their ritual function. The discovery of bronze vessels in tombs or graves will be considered as an aupitious sign and will be object of study of emperors and lawyers of later dynasties. The presented exhibition is the final materialization of the will of both cities. The 31 pieces donated by the Shanghai Museum according to a selection from a studied process, form a chronological journey that starts from the end of the mythical Xia dynasty (XVIII - XVI centuries BC) and until the period of the Combatant Kingdoms (475-221 BC). Therefore, the exhibition covers the almost 2,000 years of splendor of the Bronze Age and concludes just before its decline in the third century BC. of C.

The Silk Road in Inner Mongolia

Book, Chinese and English text.; Hardcover (without dust jacket - as issued).; 23.5 x 31 cm; 1.6 kg; 231 pages with colour illustrations throughout.; Used with signs of wear on the exterior. Interior as new.; Catalogue from the exhibition co-presented by the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Museum and the University Museum and Art Gallery of the University of Hong Kong from 15 February to 13 of May 2007.; "The exhibition is so rich in content that it provides a survey of cultural exchange between China and the West via the Silk Road since the Tang dynasty. In ancient times, there were several branches of the Silk Road extending over the continents of Europe and Asia, representing almost one-third of the total area of the world. Of all routes, that of the northern steppe, which originated in the westward migration of the northern Xiongnu tribe is the oldest. Cultural exchange between China and the West increased rapidly during the Tang dynasty, and was unprecedentedly active during the Yuan dynasty, when Genghis Khan and his descendants followed the steppe route through Western Asia and Europe. During the development of the ancient steppe regions in northern China, its inhabitants did not only follow the silk routes to liaise with the West, but also developed frequent contacts with the central plains of China. Therefore, the northern steppe regions influenced the central plains culture, and that of the West, while also absorbing influences from both these regions. The cultural relics displayed in this exhibitions are the products of this long process of multicultural exchange. This exhibition will feature eighty extraordinary relics dating to the Turkic period (552 - 745), the Qidan period (916 - 1125) and the Yuan dynasty (1271 - 1368), to show the unique features of the steppe culture. Many of the relics are formal expressions of the integration of the material cultures of the steppes, and that of the West. This is and exhibition organized exclusively to demonstrate the unique characteristics of nomadic civilization." excerpt from the foreword by Liu Zhaohe, the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (Deputy Director, Hall of Culture and Director, Bureau of Cultural Relics).
