LION-GOLDSMITH, DAISY AND MOREAU-GOBARD, JEAN-CLAUDE; WITH A FOREWORD BY SAVAGE, GEORGE
Chinese Art: Bronzes, Jades, Sculptures, Ceramics (Volume One)
Phaidon Press Ltd, London. 1980, 2nd Edition. (ISBN: 0714821349). Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, English text; Hardcover (with dust jacket); 263 pages with 198 illustrations, including 65 in colour; 21 x 27 cm; 1.283 Kg; Used book with signs of wear in the dustjacket. Some yellowing in the interior and Ex-libris stamped on front free endpaper. Protected with a clearcover; The strangeness of Chinese art is largely a myth. It is no more difficult to understand and appreciate than that of the early civilizations of Europe and the Middle East, once the essential facts have been grasped; and it is characterized as much by its humorous observation as by its spiritual qualities. The authors here present an introduction to Chinese art, based on a representative selection of masterpieces covering a period of approximately four thousand years. The reproductions are accompanied by scholarly commentary on each of the four categories of medium and a detailed description of every object illustrated. A chronological table of the Chinese dynasties and a bibliography are provided at the end. Apart from their intrinsic beauty, these works of art constitute the best bridge to foreigners trying to understand China. This volume updates the first edition, published twenty years ago, and, by virtue of its new format, will be accessible to a wider audience. It will be invaluable to the general reader, and stimulating also to those who are on more familiar territory. Good/Dust Jacket Included.

DAVEY, NEIL K.; WINKWORTH, W. W. (PREFACE)
Netsuke: A Comprehensive Study Based on the M.T. Hindson Collection
Sotheby Parke Bernet Publications, London. 1974, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 0856670138). Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, English text; Hardcover (with dust jacket); 21.5 x 31 cm; 2,456 Kg; 564 pages with black and white illustrations.; Used book with signs of wear. The dust jacket has tears ans scuffs. The dust jacket is now protected with a clearcover. Signs of wear on the interior, namely a stamp of a previous owner on front free endpaper. Good readable/working copy.; The famous Hindson collection of Netsuke, sold at Sotheby's in a series of seven sales between 1967 and 1969, is the mos important and all-embracing of its kind ever to have come up for auction. The sales led to a greatly increased international interest in this Japanese miniature art form. Neil K. Davey, who has been responsible for the documenting and cataloguing of Sotheby's Japanese sales for over twelve years, has founded his book on the information he acquired while working on the items in the M.T. Hindson collection. He has supplemented this information with a considerable amount of further material based on other collections, so that the coverage of Netsuke is more complete than that of any other book previously published on the subject. He surveys 1,300 representative pieces in two main sections; in the first section the signed Netsuke are dealt with, divided into different schools; in the second section the unsigned and unattributable Netsuke are categorized by subject matter. Both are fully illustrated with over 1,200 and some illustrations of the artist's actual signatures. Full details of artists, schools and subjects are given. The introduction describes the general background of Netsuke and comments on materials, techniques and terminology. The book includes a glossary of Japanese terms, and an index of all known Netsuke artists, with facts about the type of work for which they are recognized and their names in Japanese characters, where the artist is known.; Reviews of the First Edition: "Such a comprehensive work with every item illustrated, some with signature details as well, will make this a standard reference for many years to came". Museums Journal.; "Mr Davey's book is more than an ordinary art book: it is a rich source of information and will be used by Netsuke collectors as an encyclopedia."

HOWARD, DAVID; AND AYERS, JOHN; FOREWORD BY ROCKEFELLER, NELSON A.
China for the West: Chinese Porcelain & Other Decorative Arts for Export Illustrated from the Mottahedeh Collection (Two Volumes)
Sotheby Parke Bernet Publications by Philip Wilson Publishers Limited, London. 1978, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 0856670359). Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, English text; Hardcover (two hardcover volumes in buckram bound with dust jackets in splicase); 25.6 x 35 cm; 5.243 Kg; 704 pages with 103 colour plates and 100 monochrome illustrations; Used books wih signs of wear, namely on the dust jacket that show minor tears. Interior in very good condition.; This century has brought a growing awareness of the vast scale of Chinese export of decorative arts from the seventeenth century onwards. Until very recently however this subject had been very little studied, overshadowed as it was by the ever-widening perspectives of China's ancient past. It was nevertheless through this trade, and especially its ceramic wares, that the unique artistic creativity of the Chinese first became widely known and appreciated. This book aims to provide the most detailed and penetrating analysis yet made of the porcelains produced for Western markets during these centuries examining in its seven hundred pages and as many illustrations (one hundred of them in colour) all their many-sided attractions. The often unusual forms of the porcelain, their decorative styles and traditions, the endlessly varying subjects that they portray - and above all the continuous interchange in such themes between the Chinese manufacturers and decorators and their distant clients in the West, by means of the historic trading companies - all these are studied and interpreted more fully, and tabulated more practically for reference than ever before. The work also examines other export goods - painted enamels, carvings in ivory or soapstone, and reverse paintings on glass, to name only a few - which are represented by notable pieces. The material illustrated here is from one of the greatest collections of expert porcelain: assembled with care over nearly fifty years, it contains much that is rare or unique. Mr. and Ms. Motteheded have collected with clear-sighted purpose from the start, in a way no museum can hope to do so, so that today the wealth of rarities in their collection is matched only by its comprehensiveness, providing an ideal foundation for such a study. The authors are well equipped to write a major work on this subject, John Ayers, Keeper of the Far Eastern Section at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, is a noted authority on Chinese and Japanese ceramics whose numerous writings include four volumes on the Baur Collection (Geneva, 1968-74). David Howard's book Chinese Armorial Porcelain (London, 1974) has given an entirely new emphasis in the study of export porcelain, its design and dating, as well as the social history behind the great East India Companies. With its superb illustrations and analytical, yet highly readable text, this book offers an indispensable new source of information for the student and the collector. Good/Dust Jacket Included.

Tobacco Leaf and Pseudo/Feuille de Tabac Et Pseudo. A Tentative Inventory/Tentative D'Inventaire
La Société des Amis du Musée national de Céramique Sèvres, France. 2013, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 9782954500805). Soft cover. Book, English and French text; Paperback; 21.6 x 22.7 cm; 0.99 Kg; 290 pages with various colour images.; STILL WRAPPED IN PLASTIC.; "Tobacco Leaf" and "Pseudo Tobacco Leaf" constitute a family of motifs that were created in China and, starting in 1765, were used for a century to decorate porcelains destined for export to Europe (mainly Portugal and probably England) and Brazil. The total number of Tobacco Leaf and Pseudo motifs in existence is unknown. This study, the only one on this subject currently in existence, looks at 38 of these motifs (10 Tobacco Leaf and Pseudo) as well as 21 variations on them (12 Tobacco Leaf and 9 Pseudo). After describing the various elements that make up the different families of motifs, the motifs themselves are then studied one by one with the aid of the 400 color photographs that illustrate the the work. To make the identification easier, the author uses a system of letters and numbers to denote the different patterns. This book, bilingual in English and French, is published by the Société des Amis du musée national de Céramique. The preface is by David Howard and the introduction by Eric Moinet, Director of the Sèvres Ceramics Museum, Cité de la céramique Sèvres & Limoges. New.

Two Americans in Paris: A Quest for Asian Art

Book, English text; Hardcover (without dust jacket); 280 pages with 200 colour illustrations; 24 x 30 cm; 1,695 kg; STILL WRAPPED IN PLASTIC.; Sam and Myrna Myers are two Americans who fell in love with Paris in the mid-60s and decided to move there. Over five decades they amassed more than 5000 works of art, offering a very personal vision of the world of Asian art, coherent and well documented. Four principal areas are revealed. The first is an impressive series of archaic jades, followed by significant Buddhist works from Asia, then a remarkable collection of blue and white porcelain, and finally an ensemble of costumes from Central Asia to Japan. These four groups constitute the natural breakdown of this book: Radiant Stones - Icons and Textiles - An Ocean of Porcelain - Costumes and Customs. This collection brings together beautiful objects made of seductive and noble materials: jade, silk and porcelain, the essential materials of Asian art. New/No Jacket.

Les Bronzes Chinois: Le Guide Du Connaisseur
Office du Livre, S.A. Fribourg (Suisse). 1980, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 2851090933). Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, French text; Hardcover (cloth with dust jacket); 25.3 x 31.9 cm; 1.868 Kg; 252 pages with 156 illustrations, 41 in colour plus 102 black and white ; Used book in very good condition with signs of shelf wear and a minor scuff on the dust jacket. The interior is in almost as new.; This book on Chinese bronzes illustrates pieces from museums and collections around the world. It serves as a reference book for specialists and Chinese art lovers.; Chinese bronzes are particularly appreciated by westerners, since they constitute one of the major aspects of art of this civilisation. Since ancient times the Chinese considered this material the most precious and splendid. Reserved for the kings, emperors and upper echelons of society, bronze symbolised religion through the rituals performed in honour of the ancestors and the power acquired directly from 'heaven' and a certain splendour of art when it was buried along with the deceased. In rare cases, it could commemorate an important event: a battle victory, an act of bravery, a royal favour, etc. This book, which provides a summary on Chinese bronzes and illustrates pieces from museums and collections around the world, constitutes an essential work for specialists and amateurs of Chinese art. The authors thought it would be useful and interesting to add some advice to amateurs, in the form of a glossary of Chinese terms and a list of museums, providing the reader with a solid instrument of knowledge of Chinese bronzes. Very Good/Dust Jacket Included.

DICKINSON, FREDERICK R.
War and National Reinvention: Japan in the Great War, 1914-1919
Harvard University Asia Center. 1999. (ISBN: 0674946553). Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, English text; Hardcover (with dust jacket); 15.9 x 23.4 cm; 0.7 Kg; 363 pages. Used with minor sings of wear. Looks as new. The dust jacket is now protected with a clearcover.; Japan's Role in the Second World War is an integral part of the history of the twentieth century. By contrast, few historians associate Japan with what is widely recognized as the principal departure point of the century, the First World War. In the first full-length study of Japan in the Great War, Dickinson highlights the profound impact of the 1914 to 1919 years on Japan. Although the Japanese escaped the physical destruction experienced by their European counterparts, evidence of the bankruptcy of the old order spawned political turmoil in Tokyo that would, as in Europe, ultimately invite another war. The disintegration of modern Japan's foremost national model, Imperial Germany, aggravated a tumultuous Japanese domestic debate over national identity that generated a renewed drive for national power in the 1930s. Diplomatic historians have described Japanese imperialism as primarily a strategic calculation in response to external events. By linking the current fascination with cultural "invention" among social and cultural historians with the traditional focus of diplomatic history on the international affairs, Dickinson offers an alternative explanation for Japan's modern wars. Japanese continental aims in the twentieth century become her less a reactive exercise in national defense than an active campaign to "reinvent" the state and Japanese society.
