Elegant Form and Harmonious Decoration: Four Dynasties of Jingdezhen Porcelain
Co-published by Percival David Foundation of Chinese Art and School of Oriental & African Studies. 1992, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 981003721X). Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, English text; Hardover (with dust jacket); 24.2 x 31.4 cm; 1.253 Kg; 176 pages with various colour illustrations; Used book with sign of wear on the dust jacket and interior. Previous owner sticker glued to the front free endpaper, that also show a wear mark at the middle of the page. The dust jacket is now protected with a clearcover. ; Joint exhibition from the Collections of the Percival David Foundation and CP Lin; “The year 1992 is very significant for the Percival David Foundation of Chinese Art. Not only does it mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of Sir Percival David, but it was also 40 years ago on 10th June 1952 that the Foundation opened to the public. We are celebrating these anniversaries in two ways. In view of all recent archaeological discoveries made at the site of the Imperial kiln at Jingdezhen, we are holding a colloquy on the subject of the Porcelains of Jingdezhen. We are also mounting the current exhibition Elegant Form and Harmonious Decoration – Four Dynasties of Jingdezhen Porcelains, in the Foundation’s Lady David Gallery. We are particularly grateful to Mr C P Lin for his great generosity in lending so many of his own beautiful and rare pieces to this exhibition. It seems entirely fitting in this anniversary year that the Foundation should be mounting a joint exhibition with Mr C P Lin whose collecting is marked by a deep appreciation not only of the outstanding aesthetic qualities of Chinese porcelains, but also their great scholarly interest. This too was the approach taken by Sir Percival David, who taught himself to read the Chinese language specifically to facilitate his study of the vast body of literature written by Chinese scholars. It is significant too that the ceramic collections of both Mr C P Lin and Sir Percival David predominantly contain fine Imperial wares, and it is these porcelains reflecting as they do the tastes and interests of the Chinese court that form the major part of the current exhibition.” excerpt from the preface by M D MacWilliam, Director, School of Oriental Studies University of London, June, 1992.

SCOTT, ROSEMARY E.
For the Imperial Court: Qing Porcelain from the Percival David Foundation of Chinese Art
The American Federation of Arts, New York and Sun Tree Publishing, Singapore/London. 1997, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 1885444044). Soft cover. Book, English text.; Paperback; 23 x 25.5 cm; 0.8 Kg.; 160 pages with colour illustrations.; Used with signs of wear on the exterior, namely a few scratches on the front cover. Edge wear. The bottom right side of the front cover is slightly bent. Interior as new.; This catalogue has been published in conjunction with Imperial Court: Qing Porcelain from the Percival David Foundation of Chinese Art, an exhibition organized by the Percival David Foundation of Chinese Art and The American Federation of Arts. Exhibition Itinerary: Kimbell Art Museum Fort Worth, Texas, December 7, 1997-March 1, 1998; The Society of the Four Arts Palm Beach, Florida, March 20-April 19, 1998; The Frick Art Museum, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania May 3-July 24, 1998.; "The Qing-dynasty porcelains most familiar in the West are those made for the export trade to Europe and America. The Percival David Foundation is unusual in having a collection that contains very few of these exported porcelains. Instead, Sir Percival David sought to acquire the rare and beautiful items that would have been made for and appreciated by the Chinese imperial court. Sir Percival David (1892-1964) was a scholar of considerable note and unusual among Western scholars of his day in that he learned to read the Chinese language and visited China in order to gain a better understanding of Chinese connoisseurship. It was the study of Chinese texts and discussions with Chinese scholars and collectors that led him to base his collection upon the tastes of the Chinese imperial court of the eighteenth century. For this reason there are relatively few items in the collection that postdate the eighteenth century and consequently few in the current exhibition. When Sir Percival did purchase items made after the eighteenth century, they fell into one of three categories: they specifically related to other items in the collection; they had a particular connection with the imperial family; or they bore interesting inscriptions. Epigraphy was one of Sir Percival's main areas of research. Sir Percival's collection is particularly rich in examples of the rare imperial porcelains decorated with delicate overglaze enamel designs accompanied by poetic inscriptions of the type traditionally called guyue xuan. The only other collection to match and exceed the Foundation's holdings of these exquisite enameled porcelains is that of the National Palace Museum, Taipei. Although Sir Percival's acquisition of blue and white porcelain from the Qing period was not as extensive as from the Ming (1368-1644), he obtained especially fine archaistic pieces and those displaying the new decorative styles of the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. In 1952, the year the David Foundation opened to the public, the collection received a magnificent gift of Qing monochrome porcelains from one of Sir Percival's friends, the Honorable Mountstuart Elphinstone. Prominent among these were fine examples of the innovatory monochrome colors that gained popularity at the Chinese court in the eighteenth century." excerpt from Rosemary E. Scott text.

The Porcelains of Jingdezhen: Colloquies on Art & Archaelogy in Asia No. 16
School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London. 1993, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 0728602164). Soft cover.

Spine slightly discouloured.; Catalogue from the exhibition held June 15 - 17 1992 in Celebration of the 100th Anniversary of the Birth of Sir Percival David and the 40th Anniversary of the Opening of the Percival David Foundation.; "In this year of anniversaries for the Percival David Foundation it seemed appropriate that the Percival David Colloquy on Art and Archaeology in Asia should be devoted to a topic of particular relevance to the Foundation's own collection. Since well over half the ceramics in the collection were made at China's main porcelain producing centre, Jingdezhen in Jiangxi province, the wares from these kilns provide the subject for this colloquy. The Jingdezhen in kilns themselves and their products have provided some of the most fascinating archaeological finds in the People's Republica of China in recent years, and we were fortunate to have two speakers from China with first-hand knowledge of this important excavated material. Other contributors pursued a range of topics including technological developments, the organization of the kilns, the significance of ceremonial wares, specific decorative motifs, their origins and evolution, archaism, trading networks, the wares made for particular markets, and the influence of missionaires." excerpt from the foreword by Rosemary E.

Chinese Ceramics from Japanese Collections: T'Ang Through Ming Dynasties
Asia House Gallery, The Asia Society, New York in association with John Weathermill, Inc. 1977, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 0878480498). Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, English text; Hardcover (cloth with dust jacket); 23.2 x 25.7 cm; 0.797 Kg; 136 pages with more than 100 illustrations, 15 in colour, are accompanied by detailed notes on the pieces. Also included are two maps showing kiln and excavation sites, a glossary, and extensive bibliography.; Used with signs of wear, namely on the dust jacket front cover, spine and back cover. The interior is in very good condition.; Exhibition of Chinese ceramics from public and private collections in Japan organized under the joint sponsorship of the agency for cultural affairs of the Japanese government and the participating institutions in the United States. Held at Asia House Gallery New York; Seattle Art Museum Kimbell Art Museum, Fort Worth; and Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, The Avery Brundage Collection.; Chinese ceramics have been treasured in Japan for over 1200 years. This volume, which focuses on excavated pieces and heirlooms (densei-hin) brought to Japan between the eight and seventeenth centuries, provides a new perspective on China's ceramic art. Assembled here are some of the finest examples of Chinese ceramics acquired by Japanese connoisseurs over the centuries. They range from bold T'ang three-colour wares to luminous Sung celadons and delicate Ming porcelains decorated in vivid polychrome overglazed enamels. The prized possessions of courtiers, warlords, tea masters, and merchants, many of these pieces became so well-known that they were given evocative nicknames. Several, made to order for Japanese customers, have no counterpart in Western collections. In their introductory essays, Seizo Hayashiya, Curator of Applied Arts at the Tokyo National Museum, and Henry Trubner, Associate Director of the Seattle Art Museum, outline the history of Chinese ceramics in Japan and discuss the cultural relationship that has long linked these two countries.

Oriental Ceramics: The World's Great Collections. Vol. 5. The British Museum, London
Kodansha International Ltd, Tokyo. 1981. (ISBN: 0870114441). Hardcover. Book, English text; Hardcover (cloth without dust jacket - as issued. In splicase.); 171 pages with colour and black-and-white illustrations throughout.; 27 x 38 cm; 2.89 kg; Used book in very good condition with minor scuffs and signs of wear in the slipcase and hardcover cloth. The spine is slightly faded as usual. Interior as new.; 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.; "In 1974 the display of Chinese ceramics of all types covering all periods from the second century B.C. to the nineteenth century A.D. is not only as representative of this great art as any other museum, but it also contains each class at least one, often several, of the acknowledge masterpieces. The same applies to the Japanese porcelain. The Islamic pottery is also fully representative, while the Turkish pottery of the Isnik kilns is one of the three finest collections in the world. Only in the field of Korean porcelain, where the collection is no more than fair, is it still necessary to acquire a fuller range of outstanding pieces." excerpt from the introductory text by Douglas Barrett, Keeper of the Department of Oriental Antiquities, 1981.

STAFF OF THE FAR EASTERN DEPARTMENT; SHIH, HSIO-YEN (INTRODUCTION)
Chinese Art in the Royal Ontario Museum
The Royal Ontario Museum, Canada. 1972, 1st Edition. Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, English text.; Hardcover (with dust jacket).; 25.5 x 21 cm.; 1.1 Kg.; 243 pages with black and white and a few colour illustrations.; Used with signs of wear, namely on the dust jacket that has scuffs and tears. The dust jacket is now protected with a clearcover.; "The present publication does not attempt to offer an archaeological or art historical survey of China. Rather it is arranged to convey the major strengths of our holdings. Ceramics are pre-eminent and include the greatest number of examples. Bronzes, though less numerous, are among the most ancient and rarest of Chinese artifacts. The Museum's examples are distinguished by virtue of having come almost directly from their sites of discovery, for the most part. Tomb figurines are now prized by Western collectors for their immediacy of representational effect, and by Chinese for their vivid expression of historical mores. At the time the Museum acquired most of its collection in this category, few Westerners even knew what these small sculptures were, while Chinese looked askance at their collection as a result of the desecration of ancestral burials. Other categories are well represented, though with less numerical and, sometimes, aesthetic strengh." excerpt from the introduction by Hsio-Yen Shih, Curator, Royal Ontario Museum, June 1972.

SKELTON, ROBERT ; FOREWORD BY ARCHER, W. G.
Indian Miniatures from the Xvth to Xixth Centuries
Neri Pozza Editore, Veneza. 1961. Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, English text.; Hardcover (with dust jacket); 16.5 x 22 cm ; 0.654 Kg; 119 pages plus appendix with 98 plates. Includes 12 colour and 105 black and white illustrations.; Used book with signs of wear on the dust jacket, namely some tears. The interior is in good condition.; Catalogue from the exhibition Indian Miniatures from the XVth to XIXth centuries.; "Drawn largely from the Panjab Hills, it reveals a strand in Indian painting the very reverse of Mughal. In certain cases, compositions and motifs derive from Mughal practice but the styles are neither delicate nor naturalistic. Colour is employed as a means to emotional intensity, shapes are simplified and there is often a wilful cultivation of the truculent, the harsh and bold. Particularly in the case of portraits from Mandi - here shown for the first time in logical progression and brilliantly identified - the figures are endowed with primitive vigour as if they awaited some stark encounter. In Basohli pirctures, large an eloquent eyes remind us of faces by Delvaux while, in a painting from Bundi, arms are as thinly attenuated as in a sculpture by Giacometti. Distortions of this kind are vitally Indian in spirit and they prove how close to modern conceptions are certain types of Indian art." excerpt from the foreword by W.G. Archer.

Symbols on Chinese Porcelain: 10000 Times Happiness
Arnoldsche Art Publishers. 2011, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 9783897903500). Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, English text; Hardcover (without dust jacket); 24 x 29 cm; 1.5 Kg; 240 pages with 175 colour illustrations.; Used with minor signs of wear on the exterior and interior. Ex-library on title page. Signed by author and dedicated to the previous owner. The remaining interior looks as new.; The decorative details on Chinese porcelain are admired especially for their striking beauty, but the symbolic language hidden within them is less well-known in the West. From the very beginning until today Chinese culture has encompassed an enormous wealth of symbolic motifs, not only as ceramic decorations but also in painting, on textiles and varnished objects. Motifs bringing good luck like colours and numbers, mythical beings, animals and plants represent the striving for cosmic harmony, health and beauty, a long life, wealth, a happy marriage and numerous male descendents. In the 'reading' of the corresponding meaning there is a pro-cess of interaction between the viewer and the object. The intellectual playfulness and the pleasure of deciphering are traditionally an important element of the appreciation of art in China. This publication shows around 80 masterpieces spanning 1000 years. They belong to the internationally significant collection of Chinese ceramics at the Keramiekmuseum Princessehof, the Dutch National Museum of Ceramics. The 'hidden' meanings of these objects' symbols have been explained and interpreted for the first time. An indispensable reference book that not only presents the most important and interesting Chinese porcelain objects from the Princessehof collection, but also constitutes a 'handbook' of Chinese symbols and visual imagery. What is the meaning of Yin and Yang, dragons, the phoenix and the Peaches of Immortality? Why is the lotus a symbol of Buddhism and a couple of mandarin ducks a wish for a happy marriage? What is the meaning of bamboo, pine and plum, the 'Three Friends of Winter'? This publication reveals the secrets of the symbols of good luck and the visual imagery of Chinese decorative elements by means of around 80 masterpieces of Chinese porcelain spanning 1000 years.

300 Treasures: Chinese Porcelain in the Wallenstein, Schwarzenberg & Lichnowsky Family Collections
Umprum, Academy of Arts and, Architecture & Design in Prague. 2015, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 9788086863665). Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, English text; Hardcover (cloth with dust jacket); 25.3 x 31.9 cm; 3.1 kg; 510 pages with colour illustrations, decorative endpapers. Includes ribbon bookmark.; STILL WRAPPED IN PLASTIC.; Chinese porcelain ware is contained in many major art collections worldwide. The Czech Republic also has interesting collections, which, however, have not previously been very well known to the wider public. The boom in the trade of Chinese porcelain is linked to the discovery of the trade routes to China in the 16th century. Porcelain then became a popular artistic item that adorned the residences of the richest aristocrats in other European countries, as well as in our country during the reign of Emperor Rudolf II. Chinese porcelain can be found in a number of Czech castle and palace collections. The largest of these are mainly gathered in the former Waldstein, Schwarzenberg and Lichnowsky dominions. This publication is the result of the research project: "Chinese Applied Art from the Czech Collections", which aimed to professionally explore collections of Chinese applied art, artistic crafts, vernacular art and ethnography collected in Czech castles, palaces and regional museums.
