Portuguese and English text; Hardcover (without dust jacket - as issued); 25 x 31 cm, 2.185 Kg; 360 pages with colour illustrations; New book with minor signs of shelf wear.; This catalogue was published on the occasion of the exhibition The Exotic is never at home? The presence of China in the Portuguese faience and azulejo (17th-18th centuries) held at the Museu Nacional do Azulejo, Lisbon, from the 17th December 2013 to the 29th June 2014. It includes articles by Alexandra Curvelo, Rui Loureiro, Maria Antónia Pinto de Matos, Alexandre Nobre Pais, João Pedro Monteiro, Maria João Ferreira, António Filipe Pimentel, Ana Paula Correia, Maria Alexandra Trindade Gago da Câmara, Celso Mangucci and Celina Bastos.; "Through the objects displayed and the articles of the catalogue that accompanies this exhibition, we aimed to present and contextualise the impact of Luso-Chinese relations within Portuguese ceramic production of the 17th and 18th century. This historical-artistic moment is not a reflection solely of the Portuguese presence in Asia, but of other European powers in Chinese territory, as well as Portugal's position within Europe of its time." excerpt from the introduction by Maria Antónia Pinto de Matos.
