Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Included. 1st Edition. English and French text.; Hardcover (cloth with dust jacket in slipcase); 24 x 30 cm; 1.6 Kg; 240 pages with colour and black and white illustrations throughout.; ISBN: 2-88031-004-X.; Limited edition of 1600 copies, of which this is 614.; Used book in very good condition. Looks as new. Minor signs of wear on the slipcase.; "Among the 1932 acquisitions Mr. Baur restricted the choice partly to enamelled porcelains from Arita kilns and from Nabeshima, which found ready favour among Western collectors, adding also various later, nineteenth century porcelain wares which included in particular examples of Hirado, Kameyama and Kutani; and besides these he also sent a variety of enamelled pottery belonging to the Kyoto tradition, such as Kiyomizu, Awata and Banko. In 1933, the mixture remained the same - as indeed it was to do during the following years down to 1939 - with pieces by other potters working in similar styles, such as Eiraku. Altogether these wares include many of unusual interest, and of types not widely available in Western collections. But in any assessment of the merits of the collection there can be little doubt that pride of place must be given to the group of early porcelains from Arita and above all, to those made for the princely house of Nabeshima, which both in quality and in numbers are hardly to be matched in any collection outside Japan itself." excerpt from the introduction by John Ayers, 1982.

Looks as new. Minor signs of wear on the slipcase.; "These two volumes include the Japanese prints collected by Alfred Baur over the forty or so years from 1909 to 1949. This art form, is known to have exerted a decisive influence on the development of Western painting, offering first to Impressionist painters and then to the Nabil (to mention only France) an example of a new type of compositions that can serve as an alternative to the grand tradition inherited from the Renaissance. Van Gogh and Monet had assembled collections of prints that are still very carefully preserved and the writer Edmond de Goncourt, himself a well-informed collector, had published two major studies with the help of the Japanese merchant Tadamasa Hayashi, one on Utamaro, the other on Hokusai. Matthi Forrer, the author of the present catalogue, deals exhaustively with the "floating world" and with the various aspects of the production of these pictures carved on wood, a good knowledge of which is so important for an appreciation of the Japanese print." excerpt from the introduction by Frank Dunand (keeper of the Baur Collection), 1994.

Looks as new. Signs of wear on the slipcase.; These two volumes present a selection of Chinese Ceramics belonging to the celebrated collection of Far Eastern art established as a museum in Geneva through the bequest of the Swiss collector Alfred Baur in 1964. A full catalogue of these ceramics by John Ayers was published in four volumes between 1969-74, but this much-sought after work had long been out of print. The present more condensed choice of 342 of the finest pieces is illustrated wholly in colour with many details including marks and inscriptions, and an extensive Introduction discussing recent advances in scholarship. Volume 1 includes Tang, Song and Ming wares including many masterpieces of the art; Volume 2 is devoted to incomparable series of Qing porcelains, which feature an unparalleled range of monochrome-glazed wares. John Ayers, a former Keeper of the Far Eastern Department at the Victoria and Albert Museum and ex-President of the Oriental Ceramics Society, is responsible for a significant body of writings on Chinese ceramics and other arts, and is widely recognised as one of the world's leading specialists in the field.

English and French text; Hardcover (cloth with dust jacket); 24 x 29 cm; 2.3 Kg; 266 pages (introduction of 22 pages followed by an extensive catalogue with black and white and colour illustrations, each with caption).; OUT OF PRINT. LIMITED EDITION OF 1100 COPIES, 50 DELUXE COPIES IN LEATHER NUMBERED FROM I to L; 1000 STANDARD COPIES IN CLOTH NUMBERED FROM 1 to 1000 AND 50 COPIES RESERVED TO EMPLOYEES, OF WHICH THIS IS NUMBER 188.; Signs of wear in the dust jacket, with some yellowing on spine and some peeling of the laminated layer of the dust jacket on the top and bottom of the spine and also on the top of the front and back cover. The dust jacket is now protected with a clearcover. The outside text block shows some yellowing. The interior is in very good condition, apart from an old bookseller sticker glued to the front free endpaper and a tiny mark on the bottom right of one page (bent in the past).; When the Baur Collection museum opened in 1964, few people were aware that this private museum housed one of the most important collections of Chinese ceramics in Europe.; "In these last two volumes of the catalogue therefore our scope will be found limited almost entirely to wares produced during the reigns of K'ang Hsi (1662-1722), Yung Chêng (1723-1735), and Ch'in Lung (1736-1795). But few periods have been more prolific in invention: and to all lovers of Chinese porcelain these are familiar and evocative names calling to mind a succession of styles of unusual brilliance.(.) The present volume is devoted exclusively to the porcelains with monochrome glazes. (.) Their representation in the Baur Collection is one of quite exceptional richness and strengh. Shown here (with relatively few lacunae) is the full gamut of tones and colours that the 18th century potters of the Ching-tê-chên were able to devise, while some of the rarest and most prized effects are present in generous measure. Outstanding among the latter are the "peachbloom" pinks, pale "clair-de-lune" blues and much favoured soft celadon greens, the development of which seems to belong especially to the period about 1715-1745. This part of the collection may therefore be said to offer much of unusual value both to the student, and to the casual visitor." excerpt from the introduction by John Ayers, Keeper at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, 1972.

He made a life-long collection of Far Eastern art, especially Chinese ceramics and jade, and Japanese porcelain, lacquer ware, netsuke, sword ornaments, prints and textiles. Shortly before he died in 1951, this Swiss connoisseur of Eastern art made over his collection to a foundation which bears his name. The collection is now on view in a Geneva townhouse. These four volumes are a general catalogue of the collections of Chinese ceramics by Mr. John Ayers, Deputy Keeper at the Victoria and Albert Museum at the time of the publication. Each volume covers the following: Volume I: T'ang and Sung, Volume II: Ming, Volume III: Ch'ing (Monochrome and glazed porcelains) and Volume IV: Ch'ing (Painted and polychrome porcelains).
