The text is based primarily on information obtained from Chinese sources and the occasional notes made by Europeans who visited China in the Ming period. To this must be added the deductions which can be made from the study of well-authenticated specimens, and, of course, the valuable work enshrined in the books which are mentioned in the bibliography. The first twelve chapters are occupied almost exclusively by the porcelain of Ching-tê Chên; the next four by the porcelain and pottery made at other centres. For the convenience of printing, all the Chinese characters have been collected together in the final chapter, to which reference is made in each case." excerpt from the preface by R.L. Hobson, January 1923. Good/No Jacket.

HONEY, WILLIAM BOWYER

The Ceramic Art of China and Other Countries of the Far East

Faber and Faber Limited, London. 1954, 4th Edition. Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, English text; Hardcover (with dust jacket); 20.5 x 26 cm; 1.365 Kg; 238 pages plus appendix with 192 plates from China, Indo-China, Corea and Japan (monochrome reproductions and 3 plates in colour). Fourth impression.; Ex-library with signs of wear. Library stamp on the rear of the front cover. Tears and wear marks on the dust jacket, that is now protected with a clearcover. The interior is in good condition, with minor signs of wear.; This finely illustrated book is the first full general survey of the whole field of Chinese ceramics since R.L. Hobson's two-volume work published in 1915. It is primarily concerned with the art of the potter, and historical and archaeological matters are touched upon only so far as they concern the special interests of the connoisseur. The Chinese have always shown a particular regard for pottery, and this book is an anthology of some of their most beautiful productions, explaining their historical sequence and the varying ideals shown in this characteristic branch of Chinese art. It covers, moreover, the important related wares of Corea, Japan and Indo-China, reviewing their special artistic achievements in a broad way hardly attempted before. It is a general account, written in a lucid style and intelligible to the ordinary reader, but it also includes a discussion of controversial questions, such as the origin of glazed stoneware and porcelain, and the identification of the classical Sung and early Ming wares, with references to all the existing and most recent literature. Chapters on marks, forgeries, shapes, and the subjects of the decoration are added in appendices. "An authoritative work that will find a place in all ceramic libraries for many years to come, and an exhilarating one for collectors as well as an inspiration for all directly concerned with pottery making. The book is a work of art that will be appreciated by all creative artists." excerpt from the review by Studio. Good/Dust Jacket Included.

Chinese Armorial Porcelain: Volume II

Heirloom & Howard Limited, England. 2003, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 0954438914). Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, English text; Hardcover leather bound in red morocco with dust jacket in slipcase (LIMITED EDITION of 200 COPIES); 23.5 x 30.3 cm; 4.316 Kg; 904 pages with 1,880 colour illustrations, 1,500 armorial services described; STILL WRAPPED IN PLASTIC.; Foreword by Peter Ll. Gwynn-Jones, CVO, Garter Principal King of Arms.; In 1974 Faber & Faber published Chinese Armorial Porcelain which has remained the most comprehensive book on the subject. At that time David Howard did not anticipate the need for a second volume; however, continued research has resulted in this book which illustrates 1,380 services not illustrated in Volume I, in addition to the 160 services which formed the addendum to that volume. The material in Chinese Armorial Porcelain Volume II is almost entirely additional to the first volume, containing a new introduction and four new chapters on aspects of the China Trade. All the appendices are revised and extended and the index of mottoes and index of services cover both volumes (the later containing an alphabetical list of over 4,000 services - more than 3,320 illustrated and 680 unillustrated - all made for the British or American market). This is an essential companion for those who own the first volume but this book certainly stands on its own and, as Garter King of Arms writes in the foreword, 'is an astounding work - destined to be a major reference source in the future'. While the book relies heavily on the evidence of armorials and their ability to date, sometimes to the exact year, when a service was made, it also throws extra light on to the whole China Trade which was an integral part of the commercial success of the 18th Century Britain. The details of captains and supercargoes and the record of the sheer volume of trade which attended the growth of the largest company the world has ever known - the Honourable East India Company - provide a reliable and accurate backdrop to many other events in the 18th Century. This also enables researchers to use the evidence of heraldry and the 1,980 illustrations (all but 100 in colour) to date many stylistic changes of porcelain in a way which, because of the lack Chinese records of the export trade, would not otherwise be possible. Publication of the first volume led to a reassessment of the scale of this specialist porcelain trade which was handled, almost exclusively, by private traders working with framework of the East India Company. Details of what these merchants purchased are not recorded in the India Office Library and it is only possible to gauge their influence on trade and decorative etiquette in Europe by studying what they brought home - some 12,000 miles by sea - at a time when travel was far less certain than it is today. The chapters in this book explain not only the natural but also the political risks of trading in the 18th Century. To many, this volume will provide the moment when the identity of a piece of porcelain is revealed. While the book, with its considerable index of mottoes and cross-references to both volumes, will fulfill that need, in his foreword Garter King of Arms concludes, 'Unlike so many works on an esoteric subject, this had the aesthetic combined with the heraldic and genealogical to ensure a wider base of popular support - from the connoisseur to the armorist and from the collector of works of art to the social historian.'.;Containing: Introduction and four illustrated chapters on aspects of the China Trade: 1.Reflections, Replacements, Reproductions and Revival, 2.Of Counters, Carriages and Bookplates, 3.Armorial Porcelain for Scotland and the role of the Swedish East India Company, 4.Chinese Armorial Porcelain: The Market during the last Century and in the Future and The Laws of Blazon, a chapter on understanding heraldry.

The dust jacket is now protected with a clearcover.; This book is devoted less to the familiar famille verte and famille rose which were largely export wares made specially for the European market than to the wares of the same period in the true Chinese taste. When it was first published in 1951 interest in the latter wares, which were not on the whole well represented in western collections, was limited, but it was stimulated first by the great Burlington House exhibition in 1935 and since then by the display of the imperial collections in the National Palace Museum in Taiwan, which have become well known to western connoisseurs. Ch'ing porcelain in the Chinese taste is now better know and appreciated than ever before. Mr. Jenyn's pioneer work must have played no small part in bringing to the study of Chinese porcelain a greater appreciation in the west of the finest porcelain of the Ch'ing dynasty.

Ming Pottery and Porcelain

Faber and Faber Limited, London. 1953, 1st Edition. Hardcover. Book, English text.; Hardcover (without dust jacket); 16 x 26 cm; 0.8 Kg; 160 pages followed by an addendum with black-and-white illustrations ; Used with signs of wear on the exterior and interior. Overall in good condition. Yellowing on front and rear free endpaper. Hinge slightly cracked, but still firmly attached. Good readable copy.; "The study of Chinese porcelain has always been a difficult one in Europe, chiefly on account of the customary use of commemorative marks. With the growing western familiarity with Chinese script it seemed possible about 1900 to start the business of classification seriously. This was in the west chiefly a study of the apparently capricious forging of export porcelains which commonly bore not the reign-names but the names of earlier famous Emperors in whose reigns they might have been made but in fact were not. This fact was not appreciated by the western purchaser and eventually a wave of optimism began to rise and wares with Ming marks began to be accepted as of the Dynasty or reign. But so great a quantity of Chinese porcelain was being imported, most of it still bearing a Ming reign-mark, that it has taken nearly a century to discredit its marking. What was 'Ming' is still Ming; the name has become a 'household word' for old Chinese porcelain in general. Lastly came the present phase of reaction when it has become a fashionable pursuit to 'spot' the Ming pieces in cabinets mainly devoted to the wares of K'ang Hsi (1662 . 1722). For it was obvious that much Ming porcelain must exist in western collections and it has been Mr. Jenyns's task to help us to recognise it. With his wide knowledge of literary and classical Chinese, his familiarity with the old Chinese books on porcelain, as well as his gifts as poet-translator, he is well equipped to distinguish the true Ming wares." foreword by W.B.H.

JÖRG, CHRISTIAAN J.A.

Famille Verte: Chinese Porcelain in Green Enamels

BAI-Schoten - Belgium, Groninger Museum. 2011, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 9789085865896). Hardcover. Book, English text; Hardcover (without dust jacket - as issued); 22.6 x 29.8 cm; 1.2 Kg; 192 pages with various colour images; Used with minor signs of wear on the exterior. Interior with signs of wear. Ex-library stamp on title page. Signed by the author and dedicated to the previous owner.; The Famille Verte exhibition and accompanying catalogue is about a special kind of Chinese porcelain. As the 19th-century French name implies, the decorations are predominantly painted in different shades of bright green enamels, combined with blue, yellow, red, black and sometimes some gold. This type of porcelain was made in the period c. 1680–1725, during the reign of Emperor Kangxi (1662–1722), when production in the porcelain kilns in Jingdezhen was at its height. As a new, modern type of ware, famille verte enjoyed widespread appeal and was produced for the domestic Chinese market as well as for export to Europe. Simply put, famille verte wares are extraordinarily fine and beautiful objects. The colourful decorations of flowers, butterflies, mythical animals or Chinese figural scenes are rendered in painstaking detail. In the West, this porcelain with its strange and exotic subjects ranked among the best available and was coveted by the wealthy. It enhanced their status when proudly displayed in their interiors or when used at the dinner table. Nowadays, famille verte can be found in museums, country houses, palaces and private collections all over Europe and the USA. In the Netherlands, too, it constitutes a substantial part of several museum collections of Chinese ceramics, e.g. the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, the Municipal Museum in The Hague, the Boymans Van Beuningen Museum in Rotterdam, the Groninger Museum in Groningen, and the Princessehof Museum in Leeuwarden. Notwithstanding its high quality, its beauty and its ongoing appeal, famille verte has never been the subject of a monograph or exhibition in the West or in China. This book is therefore an international milestone. It features several essays on specific topics, for example, an explanation of the figural scenes that depict episodes from China’s most popular love story The Romance of the Western Chamber. The more than 175 objects were chosen for their wealth of shapes and decorations; at the same time they constitute a concise survey of the rich holdings of famille verte in Dutch public collections. The catalogue was written by Professor Emeritus Christiaan J.A. Jörg (Leiden University), former curator at the Groninger Museum and an internationally renowned author and expert in the field of Chinese export porcelain. He has written more than 85 books, catalogues and articles on Oriental export porcelain and lacquer. Very Good/No Jacket.

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.

The top of the slipcase cloth of volume 1 and 2 has a tiny part that is slightly peeling off at the rear and on the left side. The interior of all volumes is in very good condition with minor signs of wear. Very good condition overall.; The Meiyintang collection represents one of the finest private collections of Chinese ceramics ever assembled.; "The first volume of this catalogue contains mainly earthenwares and stonewares from the Neolithic period to the Song dynasty (AD 960-1279), the second porcelains from the Yuan (AD1279-1368) to the Qing dynasty. Although the two volumes belong together, they are conceived as individual books, each with its own working bibliography. Volume One contains small maps of China, highlighting the most important, if not the only, regions of ceramic manufacture in different periods; these were not necessary in Volume Two, where most pieces come from kiln centre, Jingdezhen in Jiangxi province. In Volume One attributions to the places of manufacture are given as precisely as possible, distinctions being made between a definitely identified kiln, a province, and a more general area of manufacture. The reference illustrations in Volume One show objects in other materials, also from the Meiyintang collection. In Volume Two all reign marks not illustrated in colour are included in an appendix; only those distinct enough for clear reproduction are repeated under the catalogue entry itself." excerpt from the Volume 1 introduction by Regina Krahl.; Volume Three of the collection catalogue, consisting of two books in a slip case, discusses and illustrates nearly 600 Chinese ceramics from the Neolithic period to the Yuan (1279-1368), many of which are today on display in the Rietberg Museum, Zurich. Volume Four, also consisting of two books in a slip case, covers China's porcelain production from the Yuan to the Qing dynasty (1644-1911) with some 250 entries. This collection is now dispersed.

CA Book Publishing. 2022, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 9789887608943). Hardcover. Book, English text; Hardcover (cloth without dust jacket - as issued); 26 cm x 33 cm; 1.6 Kg; 172 pages with 134 colour plates.; The Mingzhitang Collection of Sir Joseph Hotung is one of the finest collections in the world to capture the essence of early Chinese blue-and-white porcelain. With twenty outstanding examples, it concentrates on the first hundred years of China's blue-and-white production, in the late Yuan (1271-1368) and early Ming (1368-1644) dynasties - a period that was never surpassed in artistic ingenuity and material quality. The charisma and the energy of the masterly paintings on porcelain created in the Yuan dynasty at the kilns of Jingdezhen in Jiangxi province, which made this genre so influential and universally admired, are represented with twelve exceptional examples, most of them unique. They demonstrate the powerful blue-and-white style developed under Mongol rule, when the artisans appear to have been working with few restraints. The collection equally documents the much more refined and sophisticated early Ming style of the Yongle (1403-24) and Xuande (1426-35) reigns, when production was closely controlled by an imperial court with exceptionally high standards. Here, the collection illustrates two stylistic strands that existed side by side: porcelains decorated completely in Chinese taste and vessels in the shapes and patterns of Islamic metalwork from countries in close diplomatic contact with the Chinese court. The wares of this period defined imperial porcelain styles until the end of China's last dynasty. The book is lavishly illustrated and contains a general introduction on early Chinese blue-and-white porcelain, an extensive description, documentation and discussion of each piece, and a bibliography. Regina Krahl is an independent researcher of Chinese works of art, whose many publications include the three-volume catalogue raisonné Chinese Ceramics in the Topkapi Saray Museum, Istanbul, edited by John Ayers (1986), and the four-volume catalogue Chinese Ceramics from the Meiyintang Collection (1994-2010).
