LO, K.S.
The Stonewares of Yixing. From the Ming Period to the Present Day: With an Index of Potters, Artistic Collaborators and Collectors Compiled by Lai Suk Yee and Ip Wing Chi
Sotheby's Publications by Philip Wilson Publishers Ltd. 1986, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 0856671819). Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, English text; Hardcover (with dust jacket); 20 x 28 cm; 1.3 Kg; 288 pages with 223 illustrations, including 8 in colour.; Used book with signs of wear on the exterior and interior. The spine of the dust jacket is faded, as well as the top of the front cover.The dust jacket is now protected with a clearcover.; Despite its beauty, individuality and variety of design, the red or brown unglazed stoneware produced at Yixing in Jiangsu Province has received less attention than other branches of Chinese ceramic art. The Yixing potters have always specialised in the making of teapots, whose use became widespread during the Ming period as a result of the innovation of making tea from rolled leaves, rather than using it in the fine-ground, powdered form in which it had previously been supplied. From the early sixteenth century onwards until the present day these potters have continually explored a wide diversity of shapes and styles - chiefly the geometric, segmented or naturalistic. Demand for their wares came not only from elsewhere in the East but also from European countries, which imported them and where they were imitated by such potters as Ary de Milde in Holland, The Elers brothers in England and the Meissen master Bottger. In The Stonewares of Yixing, Dr. K.S. Lo has produced a much-needed comprehensive, fully illustrated study of the subject. He describes the special clays of the region and outlines past and present methods of potting, firing and decoration. In the main part of his book he traces the development of Yixing pottery throughout the period, beginning in the late sixteenth century, discussing the earliest potters by name and then, in turn, those whose work survives. He sets his subject in the context of contemporary patronage - which, in this case, came not from the Imperial Court bu from men of letters, wealthy merchants and the middle-ranking officials - and analyses the influences of Chinese traditions in calligraphy, painting and design. He also pays due attention to such special aspects of Yixing pottery as Gongju teapots, pots decorated in enamel or encased in pewter or other metals, export wares, and apart from teapots, the miscellaneous objects (ranging from utilitarian items, such as flower pots, to articles for the scholar's desk and figurines) which have been produced at the potteries. The illustrations show not only the wares themselves (including specially drawn diagrams of some of the more important standard shapes), but the inscriptions and seals used by the potters and shop marks. There is a comprehensive index compiled by Lai Suk and Ip Chang Chi, in English and Chinese, of Yixing potters, their artistic collaborators and collectors, with dates. Good/Dust Jacket Included.

Dialogue with the Ancients: 100 Bronzes of the Shang, Zhou, and Han Dynasties the Shen Zhai Collection
Select Books, Singapore. 2018, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 9789811175343). Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, English text; Hard cover (with dust jacket) in slipcase.; 24.5 X 33.5 cm; 3.8 Kg; 422 pages with color illustrations; New. May show signs of handling and shelf wear.; DIALOGUE with THE ANCIENTS showcases 100 ancient Chinese bronzes from the Collection of Shen Zhai, the Studio of Reverence. Built over four decades, the Collection covers almost all types of bronze vessels found in the entire span of Shang, Zhou and Han Dynasties, circa 1600 BC - AD 220. The Catalogue is lavishly illustrated, capturing the beauty of the bronzes, with the majority featured in actual size. Each piece is documented in detail, with reference to comparable specimens and archaeological findings. Uniquely, the Catalogue includes several series of objects in chronological sequence; this enables the reader to study the evolution of form, design and technology throughout the three dynasties. Opening with the Editor's essay on his personal journey in forming the Collection, the volume brings together six thought-provoking essays that contribute refreshingly to the scholarship on ancient Chinese bronzes and early China. Dr Tianlong Jiao places the Shen Zhai Collection within the historical context of bronze collecting and modern Chinese archaeology. Prof Eugene Wang offers a thesis on the Hu vessel as the embodiment of life-affirming energies. Prof Li Feng makes a case for 'archaism' as a divergent tradition in Western Zhou. Prof Allison Miller fleshes out the new hybrid style and iconography of Han bronzes, which gave form to an all-inclusive imperial imagination. Two iconic bronzes with animal motifs stand out: the double-headed owl zun and the gilt-bronze bear figure. Dr Wang Tao delves into the symbolism of the owl in early China, highlighting the significance of the Shen Zhai owl zun, which he traces to the transition from late Shang to early Western Zhou. Ms Sarah Wong examines the Shen Zhai bear and discusses the mythological roots of the bear motif in Han bronzes. DIALOGUE with THE ANCIENTS will serve as a valuable reference book on ancient Chinese bronzes - inviting both specialists and general readers to discover anew the fascinating world of early Chinese civilisation. New/Dust Jacket Included.
