This blue and white Chinese porcelain had a profound and lasting influence on ceramics made in Asia and Europe, but this new exhibition explores other methods of decorating ceramics had been used in China and elsewhere long before cobalt was introduced. The earliest ceramics in the exhibition date to the Tang dynasty (618-906), and the latest to the early decades of the 20th century when modern design schools had started to operate in China. Over 220 ceramic pieces from members of the Oriental Ceramic Society illustrate the 1,400 years between these two dates. Colourful Song, Ming and Qing dynasty wares are shown alongside vessels from Japan, Vietnam, the Middle East and Europe, to illustrate the immense impact China had on world ceramics. Good.

Yaozhou Wares from Museums and Art Institutes Around the World: Including Yaozhou Tribute Wares

2021, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 9781788841771). Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, English text; Hardcover (with dust jacket) in slipcase.; 33 x 27.5cm; 2.8 Kg; 287 pages with colour illustrations throughout.; New. May show signs of handling and shelf wear.; Yaozhou ware is one of the finest Chinese celadons, made in north China over a period of seven hundred years, from the 7th to the 14th centuries. Their style developed and changed over time. In the Tang dynasty (618-906) black, brown, lead glazed and black-on-white painted ceramics were made. During the Five Dynasties period (907-960) a technical peak was achieved, and white-bodied wares with beautiful blue-green glazes appeared. During the Northern Song and Jin dynasties (906-1279) more olive-toned celadon glazes became the norm, their intricate decoration and lustrous surfaces supplying a unique aesthetic. At the end of the Jin dynasty the kilns declined, and started to manufacture folk ware. Yaozhou Wares from Museums and Art Institutes Around the World gathers illustrations and descriptions of some of the finest Yaozhou wares in private and public collections around the globe. The account considers ceramics in sections, according to their form and decoration, and includes the finest-quality "official wares" requisitioned for imperial use. Copious illustrations are augmented by a scholarly essay. Highlighting over 400 pieces of Yaozhou ware, the book contains 711 colour and 3 black-and-white illustrations from 56 major museums and art institutes, and will inspire collectors, students and anyone with a love for Chinese ceramics. Rose Kerr is an English art historian specialising in Chinese art, especially Chinese ceramics. She graduated in Chinese studies from the School of Oriental and African Studies in London, and was one of a handful of British students to live and study in China during the last year of the Cultural Revolution, 1975-1976. She has often travelled round China, visiting museums and ancient kiln sites. After working for 25 years at the Victoria & Albert Museum, she now concentrates on teaching, research and writing. This is her 28th book on Chinese art. New/Dust Jacket Included.

KRAHE, CINTA

Chinese Porcelain in Habsburg Spain

Centro de Estudios Europa Hispánica. 2016, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 9788415245513). Hardcover. Book, English text; Hardcover; 18.5 x 29 cm; 2.068 Kg; 600 pages with 345 colour illustrations; STILL WRAPPED IN PLASTIC; Although Spain was one of the main commercial and colonial powers of the Modern Age, its role in the circulation of Chinese export porcelain was far from being very clear. The present work, which examines the reception of pieces of this kind during the reign of the Habsburgs, is therefore intended to fill an important gap. Together with lacquered objects and exotica, porcelain circulated throughout the Spanish Empire, passing through the Americas, but until now there had been no record of the pieces that reached the Spanish market. However, Krahe reconstructs the journey of this porcelain ware from southern China, analyzing what it was like, how it was displayed and stored, to what uses it was put and how it was valued in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Spain. Based on thorough archival research, a systematic survey of archaeological discoveries, a rich documentary corpus and a great deal of illustrations, the author provides an insight into a hitherto unknown aspect, opening up new perspectives for historians, art historians, and historians of material culture and taste. Cinta Krahe, who holds a Master's degree in Chinese Art and Archaeology from the School of African and Oriental Studies (SOAS), University of London, earned a doctorate from Leiden University and has been teaching for many years as an expert on decorative arts of East Asia. She was in charge of cataloging the porcelain of the galleon San Diego for the Museo Naval in Madrid and one of the organisers of the exhibition Orientando la mirada: arte asiático en las colecciones públicas madrileñas (Madrid, 2009). She is a member of the research group Arts of Asia (Complutense University of Madrid), and has participated in numerous university seminars, lectures and courses accross europe. New/No Jacket.
