GORDON, ELINOR; HYDE, J.A. LLOYD (FOREWORD)

Collecting Chinese Export Porcelain

John Murray, London. 1978, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 0719534607). Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, English text; Hardcover (cloth with dust jacket); 21.2 x 26.2 cm; 0.750 Kg; 160 pages with black-and-white and colour illustrations; Used book in good condition. Unclipped dust jacket. Signs of wear. Small tears on the top of the back cover. The outside text block shows minor yellowing.; The collecting of porcelains made by the Chinese for export to the West had become a major activity in the second half of the twentieth century. Millions of objects were shipped from such ports as Canton from the 1600s through the early 1800s, and, of those that have survived intact, a significant number are worthy of the serious attention of the connoisseur. Collecting Chinese Export Porcelain highlights the important areas for North American and European collectors to consider and provides an authoritative and useful context within which to evaluate such antique objects. The 170 black and white and 20 colour illustrations are of pieces drawn from the collection of Elinor and Horace Gordon and represented only a small proportion of the thousands of objects they have assembled over the past 35 years. In the words of J.A. Lloyd Hyde, "The remarkable collection formed over a long period by Elinor and Horace Gordon covers in the most comprehensive way the whole fascinating spectrum of porcelain made in China solely for export." It is a representative collection of extraordinary usefulness to the beginning or the advanced collector. The earliest rare blue and white objects of the K'ang Hsi period are included along with the much more common tea sets and dinner services made for notable American families at the end of the eighteenth century. Objects from British and European armorial services are particularly well represented, and among these are some, such as the van Goudriaan and von Herzeele services, which rightfully belong only in museum collections. Similarly valuable are porcelains which display in their decoration special religious and mythological motifs as well as European and Oriental genre scenes. Some were produced in fairly large quantities; others are practically one-of-a-kind objects. The vast majority of the wares illustrated and explained in Collecting Chinese Export Porcelain were specifically made for European and American customers from the 1730s to the beginning of the nineteenth century when export ware began to decline in quality. The justly-acclaimed famille rose enamel colours predominate in the decoration of the wares illustrated. The variety of objects is extensive - from dinner plates to soup tureens to animal figures to various sorts of bowls and accessories. Those made for the American market account for only a small proportion of the illustrated examples since trade between the United States and China did not commence until after the Revolution. Included, however, among the American pieces are such rare items as Cincinnati china, objects bearing ship and eagle designs, and true armorial objects. Not included are pieces decorated in Rose Medallion, Canton, Nanking, and Mandarin patterns which, for the most part, were shipped to North America in the nineteenth century. The Gordons have never collected this later ware, although there are fine examples to be found in all these decorative categories. Good/Dust Jacket Included.

The spine has a crack of around 4cm on the top right side. Hinges cracked. Some yellowing throughout. Some of the first pages are untrimmed; "The aim of this little work is simply to try and place at the service of amateurs a handbook such as the writer felt the want of when first interested in Chinese porcelain, explaining the technical terms, and giving other information likely to be useful or interesting in connection with the subject, in as simple a way as possible.(.) Under the headings "Symbols", "Animals", and elsewhere, when the information given has been obtained from books, it is simply reproduced with the name of the work quoted from, thus enabling readers to turn to it for themselves should they wish to follow the subject further." excerpt from the preface by W.G. Gulland (volume 1).; "The attempt to squeeze into moderate sized handbook a comprehensive account of Chinese porcelain naturally resulted in the crowding out of much that is interesting, so in this volume the opportunity has been availed of to simplify some points that received but cursory notice in the first." excerpt from the preface by W.G. Gulland (volume 2). Good/No Jacket.

Interior as new.; This book is a revised and updated version of the catalogue published by the National Gallery of Victoria in conjunction with its exhibition of oriental trade ceramics in South East Asia held in Melbourne and other Australian cities during the course of 1980. The exhibition was a "feast for the senses" whose outstanding features have been preserved in the pages of this book along with of the fabulous trade in ceramics from China and from within South-East Asia itself. As professor Wang Gungwu has said, "the traditional trade in oriental ceramics may not be as well-known as that in silk, spices or tea, but is certainly no less significant in advancing Western understanding of Asia.".

Chinese Art from the Collection of H.M. King Gustaf VI Adolf of Sweden

The British Museum. 1972. Soft cover. Book, English text; Paperback; 14.5 x 21 cm; 0.3 kg; 127 pages with black and illustrations.; Used book with signs of wear. Overall in good condition.; Catalogue from the exhibition held at The British Museum from January 21 to March 5 1972. "The King of Sweden, a scholar and historian, has collected for over sixty years the objects which express the enduring and richly varied personality of China. His Majesty's long and continuing patronage of scholarship and the Museum of Far Eastern Antiquities has made Stockholm for several decades the centre of Chinese studies in Europe. His close ties with this country both in his private life as scholar are equally well-known. It is therefore especially gratifying that he has now granted the British Museum the privilege of exhibiting in the newly remodeled Oriental Gallery II 200 pieces from the 2,600 in his collection. They have been carefully chosen to show the development of Chinese art from about 1,000 BC to the 18 century AD and include masterpieces in bronze, pottery and porcelain, jade, lacquer, ivory, silver, bamboo and rhinoceros horn." excerpt from the foreword by Doulgas Barrett.

Ming Ceramics in the British Museum: Catalogue of Late Yuan and Ming Ceramics in the British Museum

British Museum Press, London. 2001, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 071411488X). Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, English text; Hardcover (with dust jacket); 640 pages with 1025 colour and 100 black and white illustrations; 22.70 x 28.5 cm; 2.75 Kg; Used book with signs of wear, namely on the dust jacket that shows scuffs and scratches. Interior in very good condition. The dust jacket is now protected with a clearcover.; VERY HARD TO FIND.; Ming pottery and porcelain, dating from China's Renaissance period between the mid fourteenth and mid seventeenth centuries, has influenced the way people serve food and decorate their buildings from Europe to East Africa. In imperial China, ceramics were needed for the daily use of the emperors and their households as well as for the performance of sacred and secular rites. Inscribed vessels were presented to Buddhist, Daoist and Confucian temples, and pottery replicas were required after death to furnish the deceased with houses, servants and food for the afterlife. Glazed architectural ceramics have been found throughout China. Beyond its borders, high-quality porcelains were bestowed as diplomatic gifts, while lesser wares were widely traded internationally. The British Museum holds the world's broadest collection Ming ceramics, here published for the first time in its entirety. Nearly a thousand items are illustrated, identified, dated and discussed, incorporating the most up-to-date archaeological discoveries and scientific research previously available only in Chinese or specialist journals. The author first provides an accessible historical context, followed by stimulating essays on the porcelain industry, trade and diplomacy, and aspects of social life and burials in the Ming dynasty. Each chapter of the catalogue is then introduced with a brief summary of its defining characteristics. New and revised translations are given for every inscription, with transcriptions in printed Chinese characters. Every entry is illustrated with specially commissioned colour photography. A wealth of additional information, much of it never before published in English, is clearly presented for ease of reference in chronologies, maps, appendices, glossary and bibliography. The result is an essential book for any collector, student or scholar. Good/Dust Jacket Included.

Chinese Porcelain Traditions of Manufacture and Sale: An Introduction to Twenty Eight 18th Century Gouaches/Chinees Porselein Hoe Het Gemaakt En Verkocht Werd: Een Inleiding Op Achtentwintig 18e Eeuwse Gouaches

Princessehof, Leeuwarden. 1990. (ISBN: 9071588041). Soft cover. Book, English and Dutch text.; Paperback; 21 x 20.9 cm; 0.221 Kg; 80 pages with colour illustrations; Used book with signs of wear, namely on the front cover, spine and back cover. Edgeworn. Interior as new.; "The Princessehof collections incorporate two series of Chinese gouaches illustrating the manufacture of porcelains in China. Each series is painted in a distinctive style. There are fourty scenes in all which partly complement one another as far as their content is concerned. The larger series, with twenty-eight scenes, each one sized 28 cm by 30 cm, is the subject of this presentation. It probably dates late 18th century. Originally bought in Canton, it was presented during the 1930' to Nanne Ottema, founder of the Princessehof, by the Vereeniging van Vrienden der Aziatische Kunts, Amsterdam, as a gift. The objective of this publication is to provide factual information for a general public; to narrate in simple words Chinese traditions of porcelain manufacture as illustrated in twenty-eight scenes, and thereby to render and impression of the China of earlier days, when European merchants were desirous to learn more of ther varied industries, yet were prevented from travel beyond Canton. That the setting of the scenes is Jingdezhen, where European merchants obtained most of their porcelains for export to Canton, is indicated through the physical and social environment they illustrate. Methods of porcelain manufacture have changed since the gouaches were painted. Even so, many a technique, tool or manner illustrated here continues to be applied successfully, to this day." excerpt from the introduction. Good/No Jacket.

Interior in very good condition.; This volume was originally published by Kodansha as part of a limited deluxe 12 volume set in 1974, this critically acclaimed and now scarce masterpiece has been issued in a standard edition with no compromise in the quality of scholarship or production, handsomely cloth-bound with an attractive slipcase.; "Collecting of ceramics at the museum began around 1873 (Meiji 6th year), since which it has amassed specimens of Jomon and Yayoi potteries unearthed from prehistoric sites all over the country: Sue pottery, Haji pottery, and haniwa of the photohistoric age; various kinds of pottery and porcelain wares ranging from the Nara period to premodern times; pottery and porcelain wares of varying periods from Oriental areas like China, Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, the Middle and Near East, etc.; and also examples of European and North and South American ceramics.

Japanese Prints & Drawings from the Vever Collection (Complete 3 Volumes)

Sotheby Parke Bernet Publication LTD, New Jersey and Rizzoli International Publications, Inc, New York. 1976. (ISBN: 0856670251). Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, English text.; Hardcover (3 volumes with dust jacket in slipcase). Top edges gilt.; 34 x 25.5 cm.; 8.3 Kg.; 1034 pages with black and white and a few colour illustrations.; Used with signs of wear on the dust jackets and slipcase. Interior in very good condition.; Limited edition of 2,000 copies of which this is 793.; Among the arts of Japan, the colour print continues to exercise the strongest appeal to us in the West. The main reason for the present widespread and growing interest is the powerful design combined with the beauty of the colour harmonies of the prints. But there are also other reasons; they depict a Japan of the past now almost vanished, its culture, mores, annual events, legends and its history; and they also show the influence of the Japanese print on the evolution of modern Western art. In the last few years the most important event in the world of Japanese prints was the discovery of the great collection formed by Henri Vever, a prominent Parisian jeweller and one of the earliest protagonists of Japonism. His first acquisitions were made in the 1880s, and by 1920 he was able to dispose of many thousands to a Japanese industrialist from whom they went eventually to the Tokyo National Museum, where they now form the major part of the national collection. But Henri Vever retained many of the choicest specimens to which he later added by astute buying in the 1920, when the collections of erstwhile rivals like Gonse, Haviland, Manzi, and Javal came under the hammer in Paris. The outbreak of war in 1939 and the occupation of France led to the complete disappearance of what had become a legendary collection and its survival remained in doubt until it was announced that part of it was to be sold at Sotheby's in two sales, one in 1974 and another in 1975. In order to record this unique collection in a manner worthy of its importance, the volumes comprise not only the prints and drawings that appeared in the two sales but also, through the generous co-operation of the present owner, those that will not be sold, many of which are of the greatest rarity and have seldom, if ever, been reproduced before. The 970 items, all of which are illustrated, about 69 in colour, have been arranged chronologically and those in series have been placed in their correct order. Brief notes on the artists, their style of work and environment, as well as the development of the wood-block print in Japan, link each section. The name of the artist is also shown in Japanese characters. The quality of these prints and drawings bear witness to the supremacy of Henri Vever as a collector and provide what is the finest and most comprehensive series of illustrations ever to appear on the subject in Western literature. Jack Hillier, whose unrivalled expertise in the field of the Japanese print is internationally recognised, is the author of numerous books on Japanese prints and paintings which have appeared over the last twenty years.

HOWARD, DAVID S.

The Choice of the Private Trader: The Private Market in Chinese Export Porcelain Illustrated from the Hodroff Collection

Zwemmer, an imprint of Philip Wilson Publishers Ltd, London. 1994, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 0302006427). Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, English text; Hardcover (with dust jacket); 22.5 x 29.5 cm, 1.6 Kg; 298 pages with 350 colour illustrations.; Used with signs of wear. The dust jacket has a tear on the top right cover and is now protected with a clearcover. INCLUDES DEDICATION TO PREVIOUS OWNER AND SIGNATURE BY THE COLLECTORS DORIS AND LEO HODROFF.; The Private Trade in Chinese Export porcelain, as distinct from East India Company Trade, has hitherto scarcely been recognised as a subject in its own right. And yet the officers and supercargoes of the Hon. East India Company took full advantage of their license to trade in their own capital risk, that is the most collected today. David S. Howard surveys more than two centuries of manufacture, and throws new light on how the trade was actually conducted. The Hodfroff Collection, the largest and most comprehensive of its kind in the world, closely mirrors the tastes of the private traders and is the ideal source of illustration for this pioneering work. The porcelain is divided into six groups according to use - dinner services, tea and coffee sets, drinking vessels, personal and everyday utensils, decorative vases, and human and animal figures - in broadly chronological arrangement, akin to the way in which it became available on the market. The reader therefore sees the pieces much in the way they were first seen by the supercargoes and captains who commissioned them in Canton, or chose them from the shelf in china shop in 'Thirteen Factory Street' behind the European hongs on the Pearl River. Drawing on extensive new research in East India Company and other records, and also on major findings from recently discovered seventeenth-and-eighteen century wrecks and their cargoes, The Choice of the Private Trader significantly extends our knowledge of Chinese Export porcelain, and with its 350 colour illustrations presents and exciting addition to the select literature of essential ceramic reference books. Very Good/Good.
