Description
This comprehensive overview of Chinese porcelain history explores the evolution of the great kilns and the cultural implications of porcelain's shapes, uses, colors, styles, and patterns. From its origins in the Shang and Zhou dynasties to its development in the Ming and Qing dynasties, porcelain has been shaped by social, economic, and foreign influences.
The book delves into the aesthetic and philosophical concepts that underlie the porcelain we know today, using archaeological material and new research to present outstanding examples of different types of porcelain, including celadon, blanc de Chine, famille rose, and blue-and-white ware.
With 128 pages of in-depth information, this illustrated book provides a complete and accessible guide to the history of Chinese porcelain, making it an ideal resource for anyone interested in antiques, collectibles, art, and history.
