Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chinese Porcelain, Vol. 2 IN this, as in the first volume, no attempt will be made to penetrate into the past beyond the Ming period. Content ing ourselves with the Chinese porcelain to be found here in England, the commencement, to be sure of the date and so start on firm ground, must of necessity be 'with the historic Trenchard and Warham bowls - that is, 1506 (see p. But even thus restricting ourselves, there is a long road of some four hundred years to travel down to the present time. Fol lowing the Chinese method, we find this period divided between two dynasties (roughly speaking, one hundred and forty years belonging to the Ming and two hundred and sixty to the Tsing), which are again subdivided into reigns - some long and some short; but these we must adopt as the measure of our whereabouts, taking the nien - hao, when existent and seemingly reliable, as a guide in the chronological arrange ment of our china. Beyond these date-marks we are very much at the mercy of the somewhat hazy records of Chinese historians and the information collected by the worthy Jesuit fathers, which, notwithstanding all their care, does not seem to have been always exactly correct; so that of necessity, when not helped by family history, we must trust in great measure to our eyesight, seeking for guidance in any change we may find in the quality of the porcelain or glaze, in the shapes of the various vessels, in the style of decoration, or colour of the pigments employed, with any other such aid we can avail ourselves of.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Chinese Porcelain The middle vase is a Kang-he example of sprinkled blue decorated with various marine objects. The larger fishes are in red; the smaller designs in gold show other fish delicately drawn swimming through weeds and waves. In most specimens of powdered blue the gold designs are worn away to some extent. It was applied after the piece had been through various processes and another exposure to the oven might have proved a disaster. But in its worn form this over-glaze design adds depth and mystery to the already fathomless blue. The bottles seen on either side are also of the Kang-he period, and show characteristic coloured enamel decoration in reserves of white. These groups of owers and rocks and the various popular symbols show very effectively against the powdered.
