Soft cover. Zustand: New. 2nd Edition. 119 pages : illustrations (some colour) ; 25 cm. Introduction : One of the most significant technological advances in the history of ceramic production was the invention of underglaze painting. Painting directly onto the clay and sealing with a fired glaze facilitated the production of permanently decorated ceramics, using strong mineral pigments such as iron and cobalt. In China, this technique was introduced in the 3rd century AD on celadons from Zhejiang province. These early underglaze painted wares featured either seemingly random dots of iron or figurative designs in a calligraphic style reminiscent of the Han dynasty. This decorative technique was not extensively used until the Tang dynasty, however, where it appears frequently on Changsha wares from Hunan province.3 The pigments used here included iron but the great achievement of the Changsha kilns was to introduce copper as an underglaze pigment. Not only was copper itself used at Changsha but two colours of copper decoration were produced: oxidised green and reduced red, sometimes on the same piece. Cobalt was also used as an underglaze pigment for the first time in the Tang dynasty. Significantly, at this time it was used on porcelain wares, unlike the ceramics of Changsha and Zhejiang which were stonewares. The Tang porcelains with underglaze cobalt blue decoration were first discovered in 1975 in Yangzhou where sherds with geometric and figurative designs were found in the Tang ruins of Yangzhou city. These porcelains were made at the Gongxian kilns in Henan province and some have recently been found on a late Tang dynasty shipwreck.5 Very little underglaze decoration was produced in the succeeding Song dynasty but a variation of this technique was used extensively at kilns manufacturing Cizhou stonewares. On these wares, one frequently sees black slip decoration which is painted on to a white slip ground and covered with a colourless glaze. These designs were almost always figurative and this style of decoration continued into the Yuan dynasty, when underglaze painting was widely used for the first time in China. It was also at this time that underglaze decoration was introduced at Jingdezhen, the porcelain kilns in Jiangxi province which would manufacture imperial porcelains for nearly 700 years. The earliest porcelains made at Jingdezhen were plain white vessels with a bluish glaze and often incised or carved decoration in the Five Dynasties and Song periods. In the Yuan dynasty, these so-called qingbai wares were embellished with both underglaze cobalt blue and copper red decoration, usually appearing on small pieces destined for markets in South-East Asia. Jingdezhen also produced porcelains for other export markets at this time including the Near East where porcelains with underglaze blue decoration were acquired in vast quantities.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Ming porcelain is among the world's finest cultural treasures. From ordinary household items to refined vessels for imperial use, porcelain became a dynamic force in domestic consumption in China and a valuable commodity in the export trade. In the modern era, it has reached unprecedented heights in art auctions and other avenues of global commerce. This book examines the impact of consumption on porcelain of the Ming period and its transformation into a foreign cultural icon. The book begins with an examination of ways in which porcelain was appreciated in Ming China, followed by a discussion of encounters with Ming porcelain in several global regions including Europe and the Americas. The book also looks at the invention of the phrase and concept of 'the Ming vase' in English-speaking cultures, and concludes with a history of the transformation of Ming porcelain into works of art.…

Committed to protecting and preserving the material culture of the past through its underwater archaeology section, the National Museum of the Philippines collaborated with the Far Eastern Foundation for Nautical Archaeology (FEFNA) headed by Franck Goddio to salvage the wreck. The archaeological excavation, undertaken at a depth of 48-50 metres below the surface, brought to light remnants of a Chinese trading vessel and an array of magnificent artefacts that are solid evidence of a flourishing maritime trade around the turn of the sixteenth century. The Lena Shoal junk carried with it a valuable cargo from China, Siam and Annam, some of which would have been destined for the distant ports of Hormuz and Aden, while some would have been bartered for exotic products in the Moslem sultanates of the Philippines, Borneo or the Moluccas. High quality ceramics such as blue and white wares, ewers, boxes and inkstands, and other merchandise such as iron and tin ingots, copper utensils and cooking pots comprise some of the more than 3,000 artefacts retrieved from the site. The Lena Shoal wreck with all the information contained therein is an affirmation of the presence of a civilised Filipino society that participated actively in maritime trade, long before Spaniards set foot in the archipelago. It attests to an ancient culture of which contemporary Filipinos can be proud." foreword by Gabriel S. Casal, Director of the National Museum of the Philippines. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book presents the first comprehensive study of the collecting, consumption and display of Chinese porcelain in Britain from the 16th to the 20th century, as well as the impact of this activity on British culture. Beginning with the early porcelains acquired as objects of exotica and vessels for the consumption of tea and coffee, followed by porcelains for display in the country house interior, the first part of this book reveals the role of porcelain in Britain's developing economic relations with China and the impact of this material on both daily life and interior design. The subsequent diplomatic and political conflicts of the 18th and 19th centuries provide a framework for an examination of British consumption of Chinese porcelain as both spoils of war and iconic representations of China, material which helped to shape and influence British perceptions of China. The final section demonstrates how these perceptions of China and its porcelain began to change significantly in the 20th century with porcelains acquired as works of art and displayed publicly in museums. Collectors in Britain began to specialise in this area and actively invented a 'field' of Chinese ceramics that was promulgated by learned societies and culminated in the founding of a museum of Chinese ceramics in London by one of the foremost British collectors, Sir Percival David, who donated his world class collection to the University of London in 1950. …
