The spine is slightly faded as usual. Interior in very good condition with minor signs of wear.; This volume was originally published by Kodansha as part of a limited deluxe 12 volume set in 1974, this critically acclaimed and now scarce masterpiece has been issued in a standard edition with no compromise in the quality of scholarship or production, handsomely cloth-bound with an attractive slipcase.; "The Museum Pusat (formerly the Museum Koninklijk Bataviaasch Genootshap van Kunsten en Welenschappen), situated at Jakarta, has an extremely extensive and valuable series of collections concerning Indonesia. One of the most famous of these is the Collection of Foreign Ceramics. It used to be known as the 'de Flines Collection' from the name of the Dutch collector Mr. Egbert Willem van Orsoy de Flines, who was my predecessor as curator of this collection from 1932. The Collection of Foreign Ceramics at present consists of 4,500 pieces and some 500 sherds. The objects in the collection vary greatly as to their period and their country of origin. Despite this, in Indonesia they all used to be termed 'Chinese porcelain', since people were unable to distinguish between the different wares. In fact, they come from China, Vietnam, Cambodja, Thailand, Japan, Persia, Arabia, The Netherlands and Germany. In this book, none of the last four countries is represented, since the quality of the pieces we have is inferior. The most ancient pieces are of Chinese origin and date back to the Han dynasty, though we are still not sure with whom in Indonesia, China had relations: perhaps with Srivijaya in Sumatra (ca. 6th-14th century A.D.), or with the Sanjaya kingdom of Central Java (ca. 7th-10th century A.D.), or with the Majapahit kingdom in East Java (A.D. 1292-ca. 1500)." excerpt from the introduction by Abu Ridho, Curator of Ceramics Museum Pusat, 1982.

Howard, the exhibition's guest curator, and the staff of the New-York Historical Society have paid attention both to the trade's history and to its contributions to the decorative arts. With only a few exceptions, the pieces on exhibition have proven New York histories. Porcelain necessarily plays a major role, but not to the exclusion of carved ivory and soapstone, lacquer ware, silver, nautical, ephemera, documents, and many other reminders of the history of New York's China trade. The objective is a study of a major aspect of New York's taste over several centuries placed in its historical setting, the story of the port's trade with China." excerpt from the introduction by James B.

The Copeland Collection: Chinese and Japanese Ceramic Figures

The Peabody Museum of Salem. 1991, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 0875771572). Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, English text; Hardcover (cloth with dust jacket); 22.9 x 29 cm, 1.5 Kg; 288 pages with 136 full colour illustrations and 35 black and white illustrations; Used with signs of wear on the exterior and interior. Ex-library stamp on title page. The remaining interior is in good condition with minor signs of wear.; The 134 Chinese and Japanese ceramic figures presented here were assembled over the course of the past fifty years by Mrs. Lammot du Pont Copeland. Mrs. Copeland fine appreciation of this genre of the decorative arts and her careful choice of each individual object have resulted in a collection known internationally for the superb quality of its many rare forms. The Copeland Collection is an extraordinary group of rare Chinese and Japanese figures, produced chiefly from the late seventeenth to the late eighteenth centuries and generally intended for export to the West. Principally of porcelain, these human and animal figures, aesthetically pleasing in themselves, are also historically significant as products of that unique period of history when the world was being transformed into a global community: many of them represent a fascinating interplay between East and West. This remarkable collection is a promised gift of Mrs. Lammont du Pont Copeland to the Peabody Essex Museum of Salem. The Peabody Museum, originally the Salem East India Marine Society, was founded in 1799 and is the oldest continuously operating museum in the United States. The long collecting history of Asian export ceramics at this time-honored institution makes it an uniquely appropriate repository for the Copeland Collection. Beautifully crafted, modeled with animation and wit, and magnificently enameled, these treasures predominately produced by one culture for the amusement and use of another culture, still communicate to us our common interests and the long history of our mutual fascination. The Peabody Museum of Salem takes great pride in presenting this catalogue which we believe bears witness to the unerring taste and discriminating eye of a distinguished collector, a generous patron of the arts and a loyal friend.

SARGENT, WILLIAM R.; KERR, ROSE (ESSAY)

Treasures of Chinese Export Ceramics - from the Peabody Essex Museum

Yale University Press. 2012, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 9780300169751). Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, English Text; Hardcover (with Dust Jacket); 568 Pages with 428 colour ilustrations; 31. 4 x 25 cm; 3.62 Kg; Beginning in the sixteenth century when Portuguese traders started importing blue and white porcelain to Europe, Chinese ceramics manufacturers produced goods specifically for export to the West. The industry flourished through the early twentieth century as the market for fine porcelain expanded in Europe and the Americas. Among the Peabody Essex Museum's founders in 1799 were sea captains and supercargoes involved in extensive trade with Asia, and many of the remarkable examples of export wares they brought back provided a foundation for the Museum's world renowned collection of Chinese export ceramics. Written by William R. Sargent, a leading expert in the field, Treasures of Chinese Export Ceramics is one of the most authoritative sources on this topic. Its scholarly entries on 287 representative objects that date from the fifteenth to the twentieth century are divided into sections by type of ware. Although these examples only hint at the Museum's vast holding, together they encompass its broad range of Chinese export ceramics. An essay on Jingdezhen, the "Porcelain City," by Rose Kerr, a glossary of ceramics terminology, and appendix on armorials, and an extensive bibliography all contribute to making this an invaluable resource.; Out of print. New/Dust Jacket Included.
