This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1901 edition. Excerpt: ... Part IK DESCRIPTIVE. CLASS I.--PORCELAIN NOT PAINTED. Section A.--Plain White. THERE are some collectors who make a specialty of white porcelain, and a very interesting study it is. In the first place, it is the foundation of all porcelain. The first ware which, according to European notions, could properly be called porcelain, that is, highly vitrified and translucid, must have been white, or something approaching to it. There may be, as has been seen, some doubt as to certain old, unbroken coloured pieces, whether they are true porcelain or not, but the doubt cannot occur with uncoloured pieces. The green ware like glass made by Ho-chou, and the ware like jade produced by T'ao Yu, under the Sui Dynasty, may or may not have been porcelain, and the same doubt exists with regard to many of the so-called porcelains of the T'ang Dynasty, but if the description of the T'ang ware called Shu-yao is correct, viz. snow-white in colour with a clear ring, there is very little doubt that it was true porcelain. Porcelain can be artificially coloured throughout its substance (like the pieces made by Messrs. Minton for Solon's decoration in pdte-mvr-pdte), but there is no record of any interference in China with the colour of the body. For practical purposes it may therefore be assumed that all Chinese porcelain is "white" of more or less purity, and it would naturally be the desire of the potter that all the undecorated ware should be as purely white as possible. E White porcelain not meant to be decorated in colours is of two classes, glazed and unglazed. The unglazed, called biscuit, is comparatively rare, and is often carved and perforated in a very elaborate manner. In the Franks collection is a pair of cups (No. 26a) on the outside of which are...

Adopting the perspective of anthropology of art and combining it with global academic insights, this book helps the readers to recognize that “history is, in great measure, the record of human activity which spreads from the local to the regional, from the regional to the global, and from the global to the universal.” Readers will learn that China was not only the first country to create porcelain, but also the first to export it to the world, both the products and its techniques. Therefore, the history of Chinese ceramics reflects the history of Chinese foreign trade on the one hand and depicts the expansion of Chinese ceramic techniques and cultures on the other. In addition to ceramics types, molds, decoration, and techniques, the book analyzes the spiritual impacts and aesthetic conceptions embodied in the utensils of daily use by the Chinese literati. Therefore, it reaches the conclusion that ideological systems and not technological systems are what bring about social revolutions. In addition, the book is richly illustrated with pictures of earthenware and finely glazed pieces from later periods.

With over 800 unique photographs, this Chinese arts book is a feast for the eyes. Produced exclusively for wealthy Chinese communities along the Strait of Malacca in the 19th and early 20th centuries, Peranakan Chinese porcelain is enjoying a resurgence of interest among collectors. Straits-born Chinese, or Peranakans, in Penang, Malacca and Singapore, used this ornate and colorful enamelware on festive occasions such as weddings, birthdays, anniversaries and Chinese New Year. Peranakan Chinese Porcelain is richly illustrated and includes key information on reign marks and factory marks. In-depth discussion of the motifs, colors, forms and functions of Peranakan Chinese ceramics makes this an invaluable reference. Supporting photographs and text introduce related aspects of Peranakan culture including architecture, dress, cuisine and customs, making Peranakan Chinese Porcelain a wonderful contribution to the history of the Straits Chinese.

Excerpt from Description of Chinese Pottery and Porcelain: Being a Translation of the Tao Shuo; With Introduction, Notes, and Bibliography The translation of the Tao Shuo, now for the first time published in its entirety, was completed by Dr. Bushell in 1891, and has been printed with little alteration from the MS. as he then left it. Of the twenty-one figures with which he contemplated illustrating the work, eighteen were to be taken (see pp. xi, xvii) from the sixteenth-century Manuscript Catalogue of porcelain by Hsiang Yuan-P'ien. This work was published by Dr. Bushell in 1908 (Chinese Porcelain of Different Dynasties: eighty-three plates in colour by W. Griggs; with the Chinese text reproduced by line-blocks, and an introduction, translation, and commentary: Clarendon Press). It may be mentioned that a set of Chinese illustrations of the manufacture of porcelain similar in style to those described on pp. 7-30 is reproduced in Stanislas Julien's Histoire et Fabrication de la Porcelaine Chinoise, Paris, 1856. They are only fourteen in number instead of the twenty described in the text of T'ao Shuo; those wanting being Nos. 3, 8, 12 (which bears the same title as 7), 14, 19 and 20. Two of the remaining three have been reproduced in Cosmo Monkhouse's History and Description of Chinese Porcelain, 1901, and in Dr. Bushell's South Kensington Museum Handbook, Chinese Art, 1906. The Lettres du Pere d'Entrecolles mentioned on p. ix have been added in an Appendix. The text has been printed, practically without alteration, from a copy of the Lettres Édifiantes in the British Museum.

Looks at the whole history of chinese pottery from the point of view of the techniques used by potters and so traces how their craft evolved from the earliest unglazed earthenware pots to highly sophisticated porcelain. she describes the glazes, kilns, clays and working methods of the Chinese potters and makes it clear how certain types of ware could only be produced as the result og particular technological developments. Much of this material is new and the authos has made full use of all the recent archaeological reports that have emerged from China. Her clear technical descriptions are easy to follow and anyone with a practical interest in making pots will learn much from them. The specialist will gain a far better understanding of the history of his subject ..."--Back cover.
