The dust jacket is protected with a clearcover.; "The year 1987 marked a turning point in the study of Chenghua porcelain. In the spring of that year and the following winter, the Jingdezhen Institute of Ceramic Archaeology carried out excavations at three locations where shards of rejects of the imperial Chenghua kilns had been purposefully deposited. The thousands of specimens excavated were so significant that they continue to be regarded by some as the most important discovery in ceramic archaeology since the founding of the People's Republic. Chenghua wares restored from these finds include familiar items such as doucai chicken cups, stem-cups with a grapevine design, cups painted with scenes of scholars in a garden, jars with the character 'tian' on the base, and various types of blue-and-white wares. There are also some types never recorded in literature or held in current collections. These include sancai censers in the form of a duck, underglaze blue bottles with an elongated neck, bowls with white dragons reserved against a sacrificial red ground, bowls with white phoenixes reserved against a cobalt blue ground, and vases and basins with Guan and Ge type glazes. None of these types of Chenghua wares had previously been recorded. The Tsui Museum of Art is honoured to have the opportunity to collaborate with the Jingdezhen Institute of Ceramic Archaeology in mounting the present exhibition of 126 selected specimens of Chenghua wares, and arranging the publication of A Legacy of Chenghua - Imperial Porcelain of the Chenghua Reign Excavated from Zhushan, Jingdezhen, a scholarly work which not only contains valuable first-hand information on Ming imperial kilns and ceramic technology, but also provides an overview of the art, culture and court life of that period. This catalogue also features the illustrations necessary for defining and identifying Chenghua imperial wares." excerpt from the preface by T.T. Tsui J.P., Autumn, 1993. …

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Chinese furniture design had been improved through the centuries, maturing during the 14th century. The Qing furniture developed from Ming style furniture; it was attractive with ornate novel decorative elements. In the olden days of China, those who had resources could afford to live in a gracious residence such as the four-closed courtyard house (siheyuan). The four-closed courtyard house is the Chinese art of enclosing space to create an ideal environment for habitation. The multifunctional Chinese classical furniture facilitates the indoor and outdoor activities of its inhabitants. Siheyuan is divided into chambers such as the Hall, female chamber etc. This book provides details on which pieces of furniture should be displayed in each chamber, as well as full-colour illustrations and diagrams of how each piece was made and assembled. This includes three-dimensional drawings by Philip Mak and perspective views of the interior of various rooms. The author guides the readers through them, narrating the placement of furniture with inherent social implications. For easy reference, each piece is numbered and a more detailed description available in the catalogue section of this book. Text in English and Chinese. AUTHOR: Philip Mak was born in Hong Kong.
