Hard Cover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. First Edition. China's tradition of pottery, stoneware and porcelain production first started in Neolithic times, its passage marked by continuing technological improvements, shared artistic expressions and developments from parallel forms of media such as lacquerware, metalwork, textiles, painting, woodwork and carving, amongst other art forms. Chinese ceramics have stood out for their beauty, form and function, and for their impact on domestic and international demand. Their art historical value has helped scholars and historians refine information and data on China's social and political history and culture. Today, China's ceramic legacy dominates many art collections worldwide and continues to inspire active scholarly research. This volume, the first ever of its kind in the English language, is aimed at collectors, curators, scholars and enthusiasts engaged in this fascinating art form. Information provided serves a comprehensive range of enquiries arising from the study of Chinese porcelains and has been carefully researched and written by internationally known expert and scholar, Professor Wang Qingzheng and his team of experts at the Ceramics Department of the Shanghai Museum. Though not a strict taxonomic study, this book addresses the artistic, stylistic, technical and historical aspects of Chinese ceramics and their manufacture. There are 2,165 entries, accompanied by over 1,000 colour plates and black-and-white illustrations, and further supported by maps, a historical chronology and a time-line of ceramic production throughout China's history. Also included are line drawings providing a graphic analysis of the evolution and variety of shapes and decorative styles found on Chinese ceramics. Four indices assist readers in locating entries in English or Pinyin. 352 pp., over 1000 illustrations, many in colour. *** PLEASE NOTE : OVERSIZE BOOK ONLY SHIPPED BY AIRMAIL - WILL REQUIRE EXTRA POSTAGE - PLEASE EMAIL FOR POSTAL CHARGES TO YOUR DESTINATION *** Size: 33 x 25 cm.
