The Oriental Ceramic Society in association with Sotheby Publications. 1990, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 0856674222). Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, English text; Hardcover (cloth with dust jacket); 21.7 x 29 cm; 0.7 Kg; 106 pages with black-and-white illustrations.; Used book with signs wear on the dust jacket and interior.; Volume 55 of the Transactions of the Oriental Ceramics Society reflects not only the conscious decision of the Council to broaden geographically the range of its studies, beyond China, but also the importance of the aristic links between the Far and the Near East. Rachel Ward paper on Mamluk incense burners reflects a new stress on communication: studies of Oriental ceramics can only benefit from studies of closely related fields, new methods and new ideas. Similarly, the inter-relationships of Near and Far East in ceramic appreciation is demonstrated in Dr Donald Whitcomb´s paper on the excavations in Aqaba, Jordan, which revealed exported qingbai and Ye sherds among native lustre and slashed wares, That the Near East provided a large market for exported wares is stressed in Margaret Medley interpretative paper on imperial patronage in the early Ming, and its effect on both the styles and volume of production, not only of ceramic wares, but also of jades and textiles. Peter Hardie series of lectures on later Chinese glass now appears in his paper which charts the developments in detail drawing in illustrated examples from collections throughout the world. On a more personal level, Anthony Du Boulay paper on his cousin inventory of the contents of the Summer Palace, Beijing, not only reveals the beginning of a long family connection with Oriental Ceramics, but provides - in its use of compemporary text and photograps - a fascinating insight into the scope of the Imperial Collection at the time of the Boxer Rebellion in 1900. Good/Dust Jacket Included.
