These wares were first made in the same Jingdezhen kilns that produced blue and white porcelain during the Jiajing period (1522-1566), although there is evidence that suggests their production continued in China, well into the reign of Wanli (1572-1620), and that they were also produced in Zhangzhou kilns in the Fujian province. This type of porcelain began to appear on international markets between the second half of the 16th and early 17th centuries. With illustrations of over 85 different kinrande pieces, of which 45 were included in our exhibition of the same name, presenting bowls, ewers, plates, saucers, dishes, vases and some of the rarest typologies, such as, a cup and stand, a tiered box and an incense burner, the catalogue focuses on kinrande wares and presents the most recent research undertaken on the subject.

Ko-Sometsuke: Chinese Porcelain for the Japanese Market

Jorge Welsh Books. 2013, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 9780957354708). Hardcover. Book, English text; Hardcover; 112 pages, 112 colour illustrations; 23.5 x 29.7 cm; 1 kg; May show signs of shelf wear. Exhibition catalogue; Ko-sometsuke ('old blue and white') porcelain was produced specifically for the Japanese market during the final decades of the Ming dynasty (1368-1644). The lack of Chinese imperial patronage during this period prompted the potters at the Jingdezhen kilns, Jiangxi province, to seek out new markets for their porcelain. This coincided with the rising popularity of the tea ceremony in Japan, which required a number of different utensils. Fulfilling the orders that followed from Japanese tea masters resulted in the flourishing of Chinese porcelain trade to Japan at this time. Ko-sometsuke wares were made to Japanese taste, in an astonishing variety of odd, asymmetrical and occasionally humorous forms. In contrast to the traditional blue and white wares produced at Jingdezhen, ko-sometsuke porcelain was deliberately potted in a rough manner from poorly levigated clay, and bears numerous flaws and imperfections as a result. The mushikui or 'moth-eaten’ edges', which are so prevalent among these wares, were particularly prized in Japan. This catalogue will present an intriguing group of ko-sometsuke food dishes, known as mukozuke, which were used during the tea ceremony. The pieces in this group were produced in a variety of shapes, which include amongst others, fish, horses, oxen, leaves, peaches, aubergines, shells, fans and musical instruments. The sheer diversity of unique shapes amongst these mukozuke alone is not only a testament to this highly creative period at Jingdezhen. It is also representative of the adaptable nature of the Chinese potters and the cultural interactions between China and Japan during this period. New.

Book, English text; Hardcover; 344 pages; 351 colour illustrations, 18 black and white illustrations; 23.5 x 29.7 cm; 2.4 kg; May show signs of shelf wear.; Exhibition catalogue; Chinese export porcelain was made in an extraordinary variety of shapes during the late 17th and 18th centuries. The focus of this catalogue will be on the more unusual items of this trade, frequently ordered in smaller quantities and through private trade. Most of the items in this group imitate Western prototypes made in metal, ceramics or glass, and can also be characterized by their functionality. Set apart from the more customary plates, dishes and tureens that made up the majority of the export porcelain trade, this group includes egg cups, strainers, cutlery handles, pudding moulds, custard pots, ladles, funnels, bulb pots, snuff boxes, cane handles, barber’s bowls and chamber pots, among other shapes. The sheer variety of forms in this group is a testimony to the significant reach of the porcelain trade as well as the remarkable adaptability of the Chinese potter. Made to order according to the latest fashions, this group also provides an insight into the contemporary consumer society of Europe during this period. The popularity of new, exotic and luxury products such as tea, coffee, chocolate and various spices, as well as alcoholic beverages, stimulated new habits and the need for a variety of porcelain utensils. Also used for personal grooming, fashionable accessories and for furnishing the home, Chinese export porcelain permeated many aspects of daily life during this period. New.
