Book excerpt: A new style evolved in the decade of 1720-30. Now the Europeans would treat their "Chinese" and "Indian" subjects in a more fanciful manner, far removed from reality and often quite caricatural. Such chinoiserie owed much to the French, whose work would influence the whole of Europe. The development coincided with the emergence of the Rococo, an artistic manifestation all but synonymous with the reign of Louis XV. If chinoiserie cannot be identitified totally with the Rococo, it was certainly one of the more important aspects of that style, which in a very subtle manner combined Far Eastern elements with European motifs. -- Introduction.

Download or read book African Pottery Roulettes Past and Present written by Anne Haour and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2010-07-10 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African Pottery Roulettes Past and Present considers ethnographic, museological and archaeological approaches to pottery-decorating tools called roulettes, that is to say, short lengths of fibre or wood that are rolled over the surface of a vessel for decoration. This book sets out, for the first time, a solid typology for the classification of African pottery decorated with such tools, and forges a consensus on common methodology and standards. It gives an overview of history of research into roulette decoration in Africa and elsewhere Jomon Japan, Neolithic Europe, Siberia, and New York among others; outlines the contemporary distribution of roulette usage in sub-Saharan African today, a 'success story' from Senegal to Tanzania; and proposes methodologies for the identification of selected roulette decoration types in the archaeological record. By achieving standardisation in pottery analysis, this book will help researchers make meaningful comparisons between different sites of West Africa, and thus guide further research on the West African past. As roulette decoration has been such a global phenomenon in the past, the book will also be of interest to all researchers with an interest in ceramics from different parts of the world.

Book excerpt: Persia and China is the first catalogue raisonne to explore the collection of Blue and White Persian ceramics of the Safavid dynasty in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. It is a study of over 500 pieces of glazed ceramics mainly from the 17th and 18th centuries, all photographed in black and white by the author. Most of the collection was acquired over a century ago in Persia where Major Richard Murdoch Smith RE, the enterprising director of the Indo European Telegraph Line, recognized the possibility of creating the first ever comprehensive Persian Collection for the Museum then known as the South Kensington Museum. This group of ceramics is part of a very large collection of Persian artefacts gathered during his years of service in Persia from 1865 to 1885. Murdoch Smith had grasped the importance of the geographical position of Persia on the sea route between Western Europe and Far Eastern Asia, and he understood how the historical background together with trading by the East India Companies, influenced the production of Persian ceramics. By taking all these factors into account, the diversity of the designs and shapes of these Persian ceramics caught between European and
