Book Description
Summary: This catalogue of the Meiyintang collection completes a cycle of publications that record the formidable commitment of two discerning European connoisseurs to assemble the finest private collection of Chinese ceramics: indeed, their knowledge, sensibility and determination resulted in a more complete documentation of this subject than almost any museum collection can offer today, and the four-volume catalogue of this collection offers probably the most comprehensive illustrated coverage of Chinese ceramics available in print. Volumes One and Two, published in 1994, presented Chinese ceramics from the Neolithic to the Qing dynasty (c. 5th millennium bc to 19th century ad). Volume Three, published in 2006, concentrated again on the early ceramics; the present two books, which together form Volume Four and cover the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasty (14th to 19th century), highlight the imperial Chinese porcelains from Jingdezhen in Jiangxi province.

Book Description
This catalog commemorates an exhibition in 2016 of over 200 pieces of Chinese and related ceramics collected within the members of the Oriental Ceramic Society of London - Will be of interest to specialists and amateurs alike This fully illustrated and researched catalog commemorates an exhibition of over 200 pieces of Chinese and related ceramics collected within the members of the Oriental Ceramic Society of London. The selection spans the complete range from Neolithic to contemporary ceramics, from minor kilns in many different regions to the major kilns working for the court, and from pieces of academic interest to world-famous masterpieces. It privileges unusual and rarely seen artifacts and avoids well known, repetitive designs such as that of the dragon, which is so firmly identified with China that it has become a cliche of Chinese art. It also aims to demonstrate the vast variety of wares and the inventiveness of Asian potters well beyond the classic confines. Text in English and Chinese.

Pages : 323
Book Description
Part adventure story, part maritime archaeological expedition, part historical look into ninth-century Chinese economy, culture, and trade, Shipwrecked is a fascinating journey back in time. Twelve centuries ago, a merchant ship—an Arab dhow—foundered on a reef just off the coast of Belitung, a small island in the Java Sea. The cargo was a remarkable assemblage of lead ingots, bronze mirrors, spice-filled jars, intricately worked vessels of silver and gold, and more than 60,000 glazed bowls, ewers, and other ceramics. The ship remained buried at sea for more than a millennium, its contents protected from erosion by their packing and the conditions of the silty sea floor. Shipwrecked explores this precious cargo and the story of the men who sailed it, with more than 250 gorgeous photographs and essays by international experts in Arab ship-building methods, pan-Asian maritime trade, ceramics, precious metalwork, and more.
