Philip Wilson Publishers Limited, London. 1997, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 0856674893). Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, English text; Hardcover (with dust jacket); 22.5 x 29.5 cm, 1.979 Kg; 352 pages with various colour illustrations.; NEW. STILL WRAPPED IN PLASTIC.; The Chinese ceramics in the Rijksmuseum comprise one of the finest but least published collections of Chinese porcelain in the world.

The 400 pieces included, many published here for the first time, are described and illustrated in full colour.

In addition there is a selection of imperial wares and pieces made for the Chinese market which includes rare and unusual pieces.

Extensive introductory sections provide background information to the wares described and illustrated and place the objects in historical context. New/Dust Jacket Included.

Joined Colours: Decoration and Meaning in Chinese Porcelain. Ceramics from Collectors in the Min Chiu Society, Hong Kong

Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.in association with Tai Yip Company, Hong Kong. 1993. (ISBN: 9623210248). Soft cover, with dust jacket. Book, English text; Paperback; 21.8 x 28.2 cm; 0.720 Kg; 158 pages with 165 colour plates and 7 black-and-white illustrations.; Used with minor signs of wear; Catalogue from the exhibition at the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, January 31-November 28, 1993.; The Gemlike beauty of multicoloured enamel decoration on white porcelain - sometimes akin to painting, sometimes echoing the rich texture of silk brocades, lacquers, and cloisonne - is the focus of this volume of seventy-nine Chinese porcelains of the Ming and Qing dynasties drawn from renowned collections of members of the Min Chiu Society, Hong Kong. Although polychrome porcelain is most often examined from the perspectives of authenticity, dating, and stylistic development, this study addresses the crucial issue of meaning. Through an exploration of the emblematic significance of individual colours and of colour combinations (including the famed doucai color scheme from which this book takes its name) and the auspicious meaning of imagery, the authors have placed these impressive ceramics within a framework of Chinese cultural values. The catalogue is lavishly illustrated in colour, with detailed descriptions of the objects focusing on decoration and the use of under - and overglazed enamels. Reign marks are illustrated for each piece. This book will be of great interest to collectors and students of porcelain, scholars, and all those who love ceramics and Chinese art.

The Porcelain Route exhibition, which the Fundacao Oriente is proud to display and is only possible due to the pieces kindly lent by institutions and collectors, bears witness to the Portuguese presence in the Orient and expresses praise of the oceans that made possible Portugal's dialogue with the world." excerpt from the presentation by Carlos Augusto Pulido Valente Monjardino, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Fundacao Oriente, 1998.

Chinese Ceramics in the Avery Brundage Collection: A Selection of Containers, Pillows, Figurines, and Models from Neolithic Period to Modern Times

The de Young Museum Society, San Francisco. 1967. Soft cover. Book, English text.; Paperback; 20 x 22.5 cm; 0.5 Kg; 166 pages with black-and-white and colour illustrations throughout.; Used book with signs of wear on the exterior. Interior in very good condition.; "Chinese Ceramics is the second of a series of volumes presenting a cross-section of the various departments of the Avery Brundage collection of Asian Art. The items shown here do not represent more than 10 percent of the holdings of a department which contains over 1500 objects and is so comprehensive that it could easily furnish all the necessary material for a detailed history of the evolution of Chinese ceramics. Our choice was dictated by two criteria: esthetic quality and historical interest. Again, we have felt the difficulties inherent in a selection of this kind. At the time of the international symposium on the arts of Asia which was held in the Brundage Wing in the fall of 1966, some specialists observed that a number of our best or most interesting 'pots were not on display but hidden away in storage.' Despite the efforts made in this publication to alleviate this shortcoming, we do not feel that we have been entirely successful. Too many fine objects had to be left out because they belong to the category of 'historical half-tones'; on the other hand, some significant but not necessarily spectacular landmarks could not be included." excerpt from the preface by René-Yvon Lefebvre D'Argencé, Director, Avery Brundage Foundation, 1967.

Book, English and French text.; Hardcover (cloth with dust jacket in slipcase); 24 x 30 cm; 1.6 Kg; 240 pages with colour and black and white illustrations throughout.; ISBN: 2-88031-004-X.; Limited edition of 1600 copies, of which this is 614.; Used book in very good condition. Looks as new. Minor signs of wear on the slipcase.; "Among the 1932 acquisitions Mr. Baur restricted the choice partly to enamelled porcelains from Arita kilns and from Nabeshima, which found ready favour among Western collectors, adding also various later, nineteenth century porcelain wares which included in particular examples of Hirado, Kameyama and Kutani; and besides these he also sent a variety of enamelled pottery belonging to the Kyoto tradition, such as Kiyomizu, Awata and Banko. In 1933, the mixture remained the same - as indeed it was to do during the following years down to 1939 - with pieces by other potters working in similar styles, such as Eiraku. Altogether these wares include many of unusual interest, and of types not widely available in Western collections. But in any assessment of the merits of the collection there can be little doubt that pride of place must be given to the group of early porcelains from Arita and above all, to those made for the princely house of Nabeshima, which both in quality and in numbers are hardly to be matched in any collection outside Japan itself." excerpt from the introduction by John Ayers, 1982.

The exhibition features sixty-five pieces of blue and white, fifty-four pieces of polychrome and forty-four pieces of monochrome, totalling one hundred and sixty-tree objects dating from the 13th to the 18th century, they are the very best of Mr. Ko Shih Chao's acquisitions made in the last twenty years. A large majority of the pieces are products of the imperial kilns of Jingdezhen. They present a spectrum of techniques and styles, and tell the story to the constant striving by potters of Jingdezhen to refine the porcelain body, to master the intricacies of firing, and to invent new glazes from metals, a forth element provided by nature. It is an extraordinary chapter - and the climatic chapter - from the seven-thousand year saga of ceramics. Through the generosity of Mr. Ko Shih Chao the Tianminlou Collection has been put in public view. In addition to lending his collection for exhibition, Mr. Ko has also sponsored the publication of the catalogue that accompanies the exhibition. To the catalogue itself he has contributed many entries as well as one of the essays. The value of the catalogue has been enhanced by the essays contributed by Mr. John Ayers, Mr Julian Thompson and Mr Laurence Tam. It was Mr. Ko Shih Chao idea to include in the catalogue panoramic illustrations of a number of pieces so that the swept and subtlety of their designs can be fully appreciated.

Also included are porcelains from the late Ming and Qing dynasties, namely: Blue-and-White, Decorated in Coloured Enamels of the "Famille Verte", Decorated in "Famille Verte" Enamels on the Biscuit, Yellow and Green-Glazed, Coral-Red-Glazed, White-Glazed, Turquoise-Glazed, "Famille Rose", Blue-Glazed and Copper-Red-Glazzed.; "Collectors of oriental ceramics today have an enviable range of choice, but more than some others the Vergottis collection conveys the impression of a very personal taste. It is composed almost entirely of the colourful porcelains made in China during the eighteenth century, and especially of the monochrome glazes that are renowned for their constant purity of tint, and for complementing perfectly the delicate symmetry of the forms they cover. The display of these wares in the newly designed gallery at l'Hermitage in Lausanne in January 2003 gave a brilliant public airing to a collection that was made solely for private pleasure, and bears witness to its owner's special appreciation of porcelain." excerpt from the introductory text "The Vergottis Collection of Chinese Porcelain at the Fondation de l'Hermitage in Lausanne" by John Ayers.
