This book presents the first comprehensive study of the collecting, consumption and display of Chinese porcelain in Britain from the 16th to the 20th century, as well as the impact of this activity on British culture. Beginning with the early porcelains acquired as objects of exotica and vessels for the consumption of tea and coffee, followed by porcelains for display in the country house interior, the first part of this book reveals the role of porcelain in Britain's developing economic relations with China and the impact of this material on both daily life and interior design. The subsequent diplomatic and political conflicts of the 18th and 19th centuries provide a framework for an examination of British consumption of Chinese porcelain as both spoils of war and iconic representations of China, material which helped to shape and influence British perceptions of China. The final section demonstrates how these perceptions of China and its porcelain began to change significantly in the 20th century with porcelains acquired as works of art and displayed publicly in museums. Collectors in Britain began to specialise in this area and actively invented a 'field' of Chinese ceramics that was promulgated by learned societies and culminated in the founding of a museum of Chinese ceramics in London by one of the foremost British collectors, Sir Percival David, who donated his world class collection to the University of London in 1950.

This is a guide for both beginner collectors and those who have already started on how, where and what to buy in contemporary studio ceramics as a collector. It looks at the best venues, from galleries and auctions to craft fairs and even car boot sales, and explains what to look for, or alternatively, to avoid. It discusses the various types of studio pottery for the uninitiated, as well as looking at the way people can collect items - only buying pieces from a few specific potters, or collecting just teapots from hundreds of places. Collecting Contemporary Ceramics examines the pros and cons of collecting for investment or for pleasure, and how to go about doing both. It also discusses more abstract angles such as: Why do people collect? With interviews from a few noted collectors and makers, this will open up a whole new world to those interested in collecting ceramics but without the knowledge of where to go and what to look for.

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. 1905 edition. Excerpt: ... produced here a great many punch-bowls, curious jugs, and grotesque teapots, together with tea and dinner services in blue and white of Oriental design. These are sometimes marked with the word 'Salopian' impressed, and 'C (for Caughley) and 'S.' (for Salopian) in blue under the glaze. At Rockingham, Newcastle, Swansea, and other places too numerous to mention within the limits of this chapter, were well-known factories for the making of earthenware, full particulars of which can be found in the following books: 'English Earthenware, ' by Professor Church. 'Old English Pottery, ' by Mr. and Mrs. Frank Freeth. 'The Art of the Old English Potter, ' by M. L. Solon. 'English Pottery and Porcelain, ' by Upcott Gill. 'Pottery and Porcelain, ' by W. Chaffers. 'Wedgwood and his Works, ' by Miss Meteyard. CHAPTER IV PORCELAIN As already mentioned in the preceding chapter, porcelain (or china) differs from pottery (or earthenware) in being semi-transparent when held up to a strong light. The name is probably derived from the Portuguese porcellana, or a little pig, the name of the cowrie shell, as it was thought the glaze on porcelain was like that on the shell, which was so called from its shape resembling that animal. These shells were used in commerce as money, and when the first pieces of Chinese porcelain were brought to Europe its shell-like appearance suggested the name, and it has ever since been known as porcelain or china. Dr. Johnson gives another and more fanciful derivation of the name of porcelain from 'pour cent annees, ' because early writers stated that it was formed from sea-shells, egg-shells, gypsum, and other materials which were buried in the earth for 100 years, in order that they might be then fit for use in the making of chi
