Important Note: These volumes published by the museum proved popular and were reprinted a number of times. We think the content remains unchanged. The last free end paper carries a Japanese printer's label which indicated the year of printing - in this case, 1971. The preface is dated to May 31, 1971. For this series, booksellers often quote the date in the preface as being the printing date - the printing date is always printed on a Japanese printer's label near the back. If this is missing, then it is not a true first edition. Text in Chinese and English. Prelims + 159pp + Printer's label page. Weight approximately 1264g (unpacked).

In slipcase).; 22.5 x 28.5 cm; 1 Kg; 106 pages with colour illustrations.; Used book in very good condition with minor signs of wear. Interior is in very good condition. The slipcase show signs of wear.; "The porcelain collection of the National Palace Museum is noted for its quantity and quality. The collection boasts of such rare treasures as Sung dynasty Ju ware the most exquisite examples of celadon ware and fine-enamelled ware of the Ch'ing dynasty which represent the apogee of the art of porcelain making reached in the last dynasty. With the exception of those pieces in the National Palace Museum there are very few examples of these fine porcelains presently extant, a factor contributing to the interest and high esteem shown in the first volume of Masterworks of Chinese Porcelain in the National Palace Museum, published in 1969. In volume II we have selected fifty items from the Yuan, Ming and Ch'ing dynasties. Although it was not possible in these two volumes to show all the great porcelain treasures found in the collection of the National Palace Museum it is possible to get a good idea of our collection from these representative samples." preface by Chiang Fu-tsung, Director, April, 1973, Taipei, Republic of China.

Minor signs of wear in the interior.; Catalogue from an exhibition at the National Palace Museum, Taipei in 1986.; "This exhibit takes the famous ware of K'ang-shi, Yung-cheng and Ch'ien-lung reigns during the flourishing Ch'ing period to be the theme of an exhibit which display the best of the best. In all 171 object are on view. The glazes used on many of these wares followed Sung, Yuan, and Ming formulas. They are so close as to be difficult to tell apart from earlier glazes. On the other hand, there are newly created red glazes, famille rose, and painted enamels glazes which have very distinct and beautiful colors. They are extremely complicated, marvelously, incomparably crafted. The shapes of some of the vessels imitate famous Ting, Ju, Kuan and Ko wares with easy fluency. At times they reproduce the shapes of ancient Chinese ritual bronzes - particularly the ting, yi, tsun, and lei vessel types. Utensils for the scholar's studio were produced, like brush handles, ink rests, water containers, seals, all without any hesitation or technical limitations. When bronze, laquer, cloisonne enamel or wood was imitated, the physical qualities of the material were all captured and there is a great resemblance. The craftsmen's abilities to manipulate clay was miraculous and bordered on the divine." excerpt from the foreword by Ch'in Hsiao-yi, Director, October 1986.
