Examines mass production in antiquity Highly decorated mirrors are widely sought by museums with collections of Chinese art and are the most actively exchanged items in the art market of ancient Chinese bronzes. Featuring intricate designs that draw from those observable on woven bamboo, textiles, jade, and lacquered and painted objects of their time, these mirrors display intricate artistry. Motifs such as dragons, birds, and monsters interplay with layered decorative patterns. Most of what we know of these mirrors comes from their discovery in recent decades in tombs dating to early China. Despite their importance, this is the first book-length, scholarly study of Chinese bronze mirrors. Through research based on close examination and comparison of extant examples, Kin Sum Li offers a detailed analysis of how mirrors were designed and produced during the period from 500 to 200 BCE. He documents evidence of an emphasis on efficiency and division of labor in the production process that permitted artisans to apply expertise accumulated from long-term training and professional practice. Improvements in the production process eventually changed how mirror models and molds were prepared, as compared to earlier freehand carving. Collectively, mirror producers laid the foundations of a large commercial exchange network. Bronze Mirrors in Ancient China will be of interest to art historians, archaeologists, museum curators, art dealers, mirror collectors, and auction houses.

The Lloyd Cotsen Study Collection of Chinese Bronze Mirrors is a 2009 co-publication of the Cotsen Occasional Press and the UCLA Cotsen Institute of Archaeology Press. Volume I, The Lloyd Cotsen Study Collection of Chinese Bronze Mirrors: Catalogue, includes an engaging foreword by Lloyd Cotsen, an overview of major Chinese dynasties and periods, and a brief history of Chinese bronze mirrors by Suzanne E. Cahill. This volume presents a detailed catalogue of the extensive Cotsen Collection through high-quality images and illustrations of the mirrors in their approximate chronological sequence. Volume II, a set of eleven scholarly essays, goes further to investigate these mirrors as a study collection. Guided by the conviction that this particular constellation of mirrors may lead to substantive insights that cannot easily be obtained otherwise, the leading scholars who contributed to this volume used the materials in Volume I as a point of departure for explorations of topics of their own choice. The publication of this two-volume set preceded an exhibition of the mirrors at the Huntington Library, Art Museum and Botanical Gardens and the return of the collection to China in recognition of that countrys rightful cultural patrimony.

Many ancient Chinese bronze mirrors have a smooth patina. An ingress of corrosion to a depth of approximately 100[mu]m is found beneath the patina. The corrosion selectively replaces the Cu-rich[alpha] phase leaving the Sn-rich[delta] phase intact. Previous work by x-ray diffraction has shown that the[alpha]-phase replacement product is poorly crystallized or nanocrystalline SnO[sub 2]. Transmission electron microscopy was employed to further characterize the replacement product in both ancient mirror and replication samples. Nanocrystalline SnO[sub 2] in the form of small spheroids has been found. Remnants of an original alloy phase appear to be interspersed with the tin oxide.
