China of All Colours: Painted Enamels on Copper (Chinese Edition)

Jorge Welsh Research and Publishing. 2015, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 9780957354746). Hardcover. Book, Chinese text; Hardcover; 312 pages; 330 colour illustrations; 23.5 x 29.7 cm; 2.3 kg.; Exhibition catalogue; "I have bought some china here - of a very particular sort; its greatest merit is being entirely new. They are of metal, enamelled inside and out with china of all colour.". In a letter from The Hague of 13th August 1728, the British Ambassador, Philip Dormer Stanhope regaled Henrietta Howard, Countess of Suffolk (1689-1767), with news of an exciting discovery. Describing a very particular sort of ware, wrought in metal and painted with china of all colours, the Earl's account is one of the earliest known records of Chinese painted enamels on copper in the West. This intriguing but little-studied group of objects were developed during the first half of the 18th century, predominately produced in the Qianlong period (1736-1795) and continuing into the 19th century. Made for the export and domestic markets, as well for the imperial courts in Beijing, this type of ware was referred to as yang ci in Chinese literally - 'foreign porcelain' - becoming known as 'Canton enamel' after the main centre of production in China. Produced in a range of forms, these copper objects were coated with an initial layer of white or turquoise enamel and over-decorated with designs in polychrome enamels, some of which are comparable to those found on Chinese porcelain. This catalogue and accompanying exhibition of over 160 enamelled copper pieces provides a valuable opportunity to study a variety of shapes and decorative motifs, to pose some questions concerning the medium's history, while exploring the possible formal and decorative links with China's principal artistic export, porcelain.;"This catalogue is a welcome addition to the existing literature on Chinese export art. Focusing on a relatively little know and studied area - enamel painted on copper - it provides a comprehensive survey of past works on the subject, a well documented article by Christian Jörg, and a rich catalogue subdivided in 93 entries illustrating more than 160 objects, mainly from the 18th century and collected in Europe and the Americas.(.) This catalogue will certainly become one of the standard references on Chinese painted enamels and its clear summary of previous works and a comprehensive mapping of key collections should encourage further research in the fields of technology, consumption and cultural exchange." excerpt from the book review by Luisa Mengoni published in The Art Newspaper, section 2, number 283, October 2016.

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.
