Oriental Ceramics: The World's Great Collections. Vol. 3. Museum Pusat, Jakarta

Kodansha International Ltd, Tokyo, New York and San Francisco. 1982. (ISBN: 0870114425). Hardcover. Book, English text; Hardcover (cloth without dust jacket - as issued. In splicase.); 175 pages with colour and black-and-white illustrations throughout.; 27 x 38 cm; 3 kg; Used book in good condition with minor scuffs and signs of wear in the slipcase and hardcover cloth. The spine is slightly faded as usual. Interior in very good condition with minor signs of wear.; 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.; "The Museum Pusat (formerly the Museum Koninklijk Bataviaasch Genootshap van Kunsten en Welenschappen), situated at Jakarta, has an extremely extensive and valuable series of collections concerning Indonesia. One of the most famous of these is the Collection of Foreign Ceramics. It used to be known as the 'de Flines Collection' from the name of the Dutch collector Mr. Egbert Willem van Orsoy de Flines, who was my predecessor as curator of this collection from 1932. The Collection of Foreign Ceramics at present consists of 4,500 pieces and some 500 sherds. The objects in the collection vary greatly as to their period and their country of origin. Despite this, in Indonesia they all used to be termed 'Chinese porcelain', since people were unable to distinguish between the different wares. In fact, they come from China, Vietnam, Cambodja, Thailand, Japan, Persia, Arabia, The Netherlands and Germany. In this book, none of the last four countries is represented, since the quality of the pieces we have is inferior. The most ancient pieces are of Chinese origin and date back to the Han dynasty, though we are still not sure with whom in Indonesia, China had relations: perhaps with Srivijaya in Sumatra (ca. 6th-14th century A.D.), or with the Sanjaya kingdom of Central Java (ca. 7th-10th century A.D.), or with the Majapahit kingdom in East Java (A.D. 1292-ca. 1500)." excerpt from the introduction by Abu Ridho, Curator of Ceramics Museum Pusat, 1982.

SARGENT, WILLIAM R.; KERR, ROSE (ESSAY)

Treasures of Chinese Export Ceramics - from the Peabody Essex Museum

Yale University Press. 2012, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 9780300169751). Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, English Text; Hardcover (with Dust Jacket); 568 Pages with 428 colour ilustrations; 31. 4 x 25 cm; 3.62 Kg; Beginning in the sixteenth century when Portuguese traders started importing blue and white porcelain to Europe, Chinese ceramics manufacturers produced goods specifically for export to the West. The industry flourished through the early twentieth century as the market for fine porcelain expanded in Europe and the Americas. Among the Peabody Essex Museum's founders in 1799 were sea captains and supercargoes involved in extensive trade with Asia, and many of the remarkable examples of export wares they brought back provided a foundation for the Museum's world renowned collection of Chinese export ceramics. Written by William R. Sargent, a leading expert in the field, Treasures of Chinese Export Ceramics is one of the most authoritative sources on this topic. Its scholarly entries on 287 representative objects that date from the fifteenth to the twentieth century are divided into sections by type of ware. Although these examples only hint at the Museum's vast holding, together they encompass its broad range of Chinese export ceramics. An essay on Jingdezhen, the "Porcelain City," by Rose Kerr, a glossary of ceramics terminology, and appendix on armorials, and an extensive bibliography all contribute to making this an invaluable resource.; Out of print. New/Dust Jacket Included.

Elegant Form and Harmonious Decoration: Four Dynasties of Jingdezhen Porcelain

Co-published by Percival David Foundation of Chinese Art and School of Oriental & African Studies. 1992, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 981003721X). Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, English text; Hardover (with dust jacket); 24.2 x 31.4 cm; 1.253 Kg; 176 pages with various colour illustrations; Used book with sign of wear on the dust jacket and interior. Previous owner sticker glued to the front free endpaper, that also show a wear mark at the middle of the page. The dust jacket is now protected with a clearcover. ; Joint exhibition from the Collections of the Percival David Foundation and CP Lin; “The year 1992 is very significant for the Percival David Foundation of Chinese Art. Not only does it mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of Sir Percival David, but it was also 40 years ago on 10th June 1952 that the Foundation opened to the public. We are celebrating these anniversaries in two ways. In view of all recent archaeological discoveries made at the site of the Imperial kiln at Jingdezhen, we are holding a colloquy on the subject of the Porcelains of Jingdezhen. We are also mounting the current exhibition Elegant Form and Harmonious Decoration – Four Dynasties of Jingdezhen Porcelains, in the Foundation’s Lady David Gallery. We are particularly grateful to Mr C P Lin for his great generosity in lending so many of his own beautiful and rare pieces to this exhibition. It seems entirely fitting in this anniversary year that the Foundation should be mounting a joint exhibition with Mr C P Lin whose collecting is marked by a deep appreciation not only of the outstanding aesthetic qualities of Chinese porcelains, but also their great scholarly interest. This too was the approach taken by Sir Percival David, who taught himself to read the Chinese language specifically to facilitate his study of the vast body of literature written by Chinese scholars. It is significant too that the ceramic collections of both Mr C P Lin and Sir Percival David predominantly contain fine Imperial wares, and it is these porcelains reflecting as they do the tastes and interests of the Chinese court that form the major part of the current exhibition.” excerpt from the preface by M D MacWilliam, Director, School of Oriental Studies University of London, June, 1992.

Spine slightly discouloured.; Catalogue from the exhibition held June 15 - 17 1992 in Celebration of the 100th Anniversary of the Birth of Sir Percival David and the 40th Anniversary of the Opening of the Percival David Foundation.; "In this year of anniversaries for the Percival David Foundation it seemed appropriate that the Percival David Colloquy on Art and Archaeology in Asia should be devoted to a topic of particular relevance to the Foundation's own collection. Since well over half the ceramics in the collection were made at China's main porcelain producing centre, Jingdezhen in Jiangxi province, the wares from these kilns provide the subject for this colloquy. The Jingdezhen in kilns themselves and their products have provided some of the most fascinating archaeological finds in the People's Republica of China in recent years, and we were fortunate to have two speakers from China with first-hand knowledge of this important excavated material. Other contributors pursued a range of topics including technological developments, the organization of the kilns, the significance of ceremonial wares, specific decorative motifs, their origins and evolution, archaism, trading networks, the wares made for particular markets, and the influence of missionaires." excerpt from the foreword by Rosemary E.

Chinese Ceramics from Japanese Collections: T'Ang Through Ming Dynasties

Asia House Gallery, The Asia Society, New York in association with John Weathermill, Inc. 1977, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 0878480498). Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, English text; Hardcover (cloth with dust jacket); 23.2 x 25.7 cm; 0.797 Kg; 136 pages with more than 100 illustrations, 15 in colour, are accompanied by detailed notes on the pieces. Also included are two maps showing kiln and excavation sites, a glossary, and extensive bibliography.; Used with signs of wear, namely on the dust jacket front cover, spine and back cover. The interior is in very good condition.; Exhibition of Chinese ceramics from public and private collections in Japan organized under the joint sponsorship of the agency for cultural affairs of the Japanese government and the participating institutions in the United States. Held at Asia House Gallery New York; Seattle Art Museum Kimbell Art Museum, Fort Worth; and Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, The Avery Brundage Collection.; Chinese ceramics have been treasured in Japan for over 1200 years. This volume, which focuses on excavated pieces and heirlooms (densei-hin) brought to Japan between the eight and seventeenth centuries, provides a new perspective on China's ceramic art. Assembled here are some of the finest examples of Chinese ceramics acquired by Japanese connoisseurs over the centuries. They range from bold T'ang three-colour wares to luminous Sung celadons and delicate Ming porcelains decorated in vivid polychrome overglazed enamels. The prized possessions of courtiers, warlords, tea masters, and merchants, many of these pieces became so well-known that they were given evocative nicknames. Several, made to order for Japanese customers, have no counterpart in Western collections. In their introductory essays, Seizo Hayashiya, Curator of Applied Arts at the Tokyo National Museum, and Henry Trubner, Associate Director of the Seattle Art Museum, outline the history of Chinese ceramics in Japan and discuss the cultural relationship that has long linked these two countries.

The same applies to the Japanese porcelain. The Islamic pottery is also fully representative, while the Turkish pottery of the Isnik kilns is one of the three finest collections in the world. Only in the field of Korean porcelain, where the collection is no more than fair, is it still necessary to acquire a fuller range of outstanding pieces." excerpt from the introductory text by Douglas Barrett, Keeper of the Department of Oriental Antiquities, 1981.

STAFF OF THE FAR EASTERN DEPARTMENT; SHIH, HSIO-YEN (INTRODUCTION)

Chinese Art in the Royal Ontario Museum

The Royal Ontario Museum, Canada. 1972, 1st Edition. Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, English text.; Hardcover (with dust jacket).; 25.5 x 21 cm.; 1.1 Kg.; 243 pages with black and white and a few colour illustrations.; Used with signs of wear, namely on the dust jacket that has scuffs and tears. The dust jacket is now protected with a clearcover.; "The present publication does not attempt to offer an archaeological or art historical survey of China. Rather it is arranged to convey the major strengths of our holdings. Ceramics are pre-eminent and include the greatest number of examples. Bronzes, though less numerous, are among the most ancient and rarest of Chinese artifacts. The Museum's examples are distinguished by virtue of having come almost directly from their sites of discovery, for the most part. Tomb figurines are now prized by Western collectors for their immediacy of representational effect, and by Chinese for their vivid expression of historical mores. At the time the Museum acquired most of its collection in this category, few Westerners even knew what these small sculptures were, while Chinese looked askance at their collection as a result of the desecration of ancestral burials. Other categories are well represented, though with less numerical and, sometimes, aesthetic strengh." excerpt from the introduction by Hsio-Yen Shih, Curator, Royal Ontario Museum, June 1972.

Indian Miniatures from the Xvth to Xixth Centuries

Neri Pozza Editore, Veneza. 1961. Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, English text.; Hardcover (with dust jacket); 16.5 x 22 cm ; 0.654 Kg; 119 pages plus appendix with 98 plates. Includes 12 colour and 105 black and white illustrations.; Used book with signs of wear on the dust jacket, namely some tears. The interior is in good condition.; Catalogue from the exhibition Indian Miniatures from the XVth to XIXth centuries.; "Drawn largely from the Panjab Hills, it reveals a strand in Indian painting the very reverse of Mughal. In certain cases, compositions and motifs derive from Mughal practice but the styles are neither delicate nor naturalistic. Colour is employed as a means to emotional intensity, shapes are simplified and there is often a wilful cultivation of the truculent, the harsh and bold. Particularly in the case of portraits from Mandi - here shown for the first time in logical progression and brilliantly identified - the figures are endowed with primitive vigour as if they awaited some stark encounter. In Basohli pirctures, large an eloquent eyes remind us of faces by Delvaux while, in a painting from Bundi, arms are as thinly attenuated as in a sculpture by Giacometti. Distortions of this kind are vitally Indian in spirit and they prove how close to modern conceptions are certain types of Indian art." excerpt from the foreword by W.G. Archer.

300 Treasures: Chinese Porcelain in the Wallenstein, Schwarzenberg & Lichnowsky Family Collections

Umprum, Academy of Arts and, Architecture & Design in Prague. 2015, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 9788086863665). Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, English text; Hardcover (cloth with dust jacket); 25.3 x 31.9 cm; 3.1 kg; 510 pages with colour illustrations, decorative endpapers. Includes ribbon bookmark.; STILL WRAPPED IN PLASTIC.; Chinese porcelain ware is contained in many major art collections worldwide. The Czech Republic also has interesting collections, which, however, have not previously been very well known to the wider public. The boom in the trade of Chinese porcelain is linked to the discovery of the trade routes to China in the 16th century. Porcelain then became a popular artistic item that adorned the residences of the richest aristocrats in other European countries, as well as in our country during the reign of Emperor Rudolf II. Chinese porcelain can be found in a number of Czech castle and palace collections. The largest of these are mainly gathered in the former Waldstein, Schwarzenberg and Lichnowsky dominions. This publication is the result of the research project: "Chinese Applied Art from the Czech Collections", which aimed to professionally explore collections of Chinese applied art, artistic crafts, vernacular art and ethnography collected in Czech castles, palaces and regional museums.

Hiroshige: Prints and Drawings

Prestel Verlag, Munich. 2011. (ISBN: 9783791345406). Soft cover. Book, English text; Paperback; 20 x 24.6 cm; 1 Kg; 256 pages with colour Illustrations throughout; Catalogue from the exhibition held at the Royal Academy of Arts, London from the 3rd of July to the 28th of September 1997.; Used with signs of wear on the exterior. Interior as new.; Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) holds an assured place in the history of world art as one of the greatest and best-loved masters of the woodblock print. Together with Katsushika Hokusai, he is the leading creator of landscape imagery in japanese printmaking. Acclaimed in the West as "the artist of mist, snow and rain", Hiroshige certainly possesses a poetic sensibility particularly well attuned to evoking atmospheric effects. Hiroshige is a master of the passing moment, subtly orchestrating a wide range of colours to articulate mood. Including maps, a chronology, glossary and bibliography, this volume offers an excellent introduction to the mainly-sided oeuvre of an artist who, perhaps more specifically "Japanese" than Hokusai, was described by Pisarro as a "marvellous Impressionist".
