About This Item
Octupus Books Limited, London, 1973 Book. Good. Hardcover. English text; Hardcover (cloth with dust jacket); 21.2 x 24.7 cm; 0.573 Kg; 95 pages with black-and-white and colour illustrations; used book in good condition, with minor signs of wear in the dust jacket. The front cover cloth as some marks, which are only seen if the dust jacket is removed; The text is divided in four main chapters: The early wares; The Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), The Ch'ing dynasty (1644-1912); and Chinese Export Porcelain.; The products of the Imperial and other kilns have created one of the gentlest and most beautiful of the arts. The technical inventiveness of Chinese potters - they had discovered methods of glazing pottery by the third century BC - made possible the manufacture of wonderfully delicate materials and colours. Their versatility as artists enabled them to design new shapes, and decorate them with incised or applied motifs which have been imitated throughout the world. Anthony du Boulay traces the development of Chinese porcelain from its beginning to the early 20th century. His scholarly survey of this wonderful artistic tradition is illustrated with 32 colour plates and 100 black and white illustrations..
