Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complexities of China's monetary system, which has evolved over centuries. It begins by examining the role of silver as a unit of exchange from the third century B.C. before moving on to the introduction of paper currency and the challenges it presented. The author further analyzes the multiple systems of taels, the privately minted sycee shoes, and the many forms of subsidiary coinage that make up China's diverse currency landscape. The book also reviews Republican-era attempts at standardization and the introduction of the Yuan dollar, offering insights into the challenges of currency reform in a vast and diverse country.

Their appeal -- conjuring images of afternoons in homey tearooms or elegant gatherings in grand hotels -- is universal. But a new generation of teapots has stood tradition on its ear. As author Leslie Ferrin says, "Today the teapot has one foot in the kitchen and the other in the art world." "For the artist, making a teapot provides daunting challenges. As the various parts -- body, lid, handle, spout and foot -- are assembled, each creator must solve technical difficulties within the context of design, function and scale. As a result, teapots are the objects with which artists in all media demonstrate the heights of their technical and creative abilities." "Teapots Transformed: Exploration of an Object tells the tale of this art form, from the traditional, functional teapot to an eclectic mix of contemporary designs. The exhilarating collection is presented in more than 120 vivid full-color photographs. The book will delight tea drinkers around the world, while providing inspiration for artists and a visual feast for the growing number of teapot collectors.
