Download or read book Blue White written by John Carswell and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This richly illustrated book traces the history and evolution of blue and white in China, first during the Yuan dynasty (1271-1368), when the Mongols ruled all of Asia, creating an environment in which blue and white could travel swiftly as far as the Mediterranean. In the fifteenth century the Chinese became enamoured of their own product, while at the same time the Ming potters were susceptible to ideas from the Islamic world and commercial and aesthetic pressures during the colonial period of European expansion. From the sixteenth century onwards, passion for collecting became a major influence on the concept of chinoiserie. Finally John Carswell shows how the combined efforts of scholars, collectors and archaeologists have illuminated how, why and when blue and white developed and has made such a major impact on world civilization. The stunning illustrations are from museums and private collections around the world and include some never before published. The book also includes a very special unpublished material from a mysterious fourteenth century shipwreck in the Red Sea. Seen by only a handful of experts, the findings from this shipwreck are very important for art history and are published here for the first time. Full details with line drawings and complete mini-catalogue of this material are given in the book.

Book Chinese Export Porcelains

Download or read book Chinese Export Porcelains written by Andrew D Madsen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-28 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The blue and white porcelain exported by China in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries is an important category of artifacts and antiques, a fashion-sensitive commodity that was affected by the ebbs and flows of style and consumer demand. In this copiously illustrated, comprehensive guide to Chinese export porcelain, Andrew Madsen offers both a broad overview and detailed identification and context information for the most common styles and motifs. His focus on the determination of manufacture dates, which are based primarily on data collected from armorial decorated export wares, porcelain cargoes from dated shipwrecks, and tightly dated archaeological contexts, will allow students, scholars, and collectors to refine associations with Chinese export porcelain, revealing the untapped quantity of information that mass-produced Chinese export porcelain has to offer.

Book Chinese Porcelain in Colonial Mexico

Download or read book Chinese Porcelain in Colonial Mexico written by Meha Priyadarshini and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-01-14 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book follows Chinese porcelain through the commodity chain, from its production in China to trade with Spanish Merchants in Manila, and to its eventual adoption by colonial society in Mexico. As trade connections increased in the early modern period, porcelain became an immensely popular and global product. This study focuses on one of the most exported objects, the guan. It shows how this porcelain jar was produced, made accessible across vast distances and how designs were borrowed and transformed into new creations within different artistic cultures. While people had increased access to global markets and products, this book argues that this new connectivity could engender more local outlooks and even heightened isolation in some places. It looks beyond the guan to the broader context of transpacific trade during this period, highlighting the importance and impact of Asian commodities in Spanish America.

Book Blue and white Chinese Porcelain

Download or read book Blue and white Chinese Porcelain written by Cornelius Osgood and published by . This book was released on 1956 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When an anthropologist writes a monograph on blue-and-white Chinese porcelain, some explanation may be appreciated. This is not because anyone does not know that the primary justification of all research is simply a sustained intellectual curiosity. It is rather because one does not take for granted the experiental background of a colleague in another field. To an anthropologist, the expert on porcelain can neither give the confidence which helps to evaluate how work is done nor assume that common knowledge which immeasurably improves communication.-pg. v.

Download or read book Blue And White Porcelain written by Meili Yang and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2023-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meili Yang addresses long-standing questions related to the motivation and inducement of blue-and-white porcelain creation in Mongol-Yuan China, the process of establishing its relationship with Ming society, and its development in Japan as the country stabilized politically and culturally in early Edo. Discussion focuses on the advantageous environment encompassing the Chinese ceramic industry, and the role played by culture, politics and the society at large that brought about the creation of this novel porcelain. Of particular scholarly interest is the native Han attitude toward this Mongol-linked porcelain with its shiny cobalt-blue decoration. From prevailing indifference during late Yuan to valuing it as imperial ware during early Ming, a period of vigorous Sinicization in late Ming popularized the blue-and-white porcelain industry's thriving development. Ming society attitudes toward this porcelain was an intriguing process, and takes in transformations in religious belief and ritual, as well as art appreciation. Following the early Edo period, Japanese potters surpassed Chinese fine porcelain and competed in overseas markets, particularly in Europe. Behind the commercial competition, the contemporary upsurge of nationalism was arguably the most crucial dynamic. The European market became the arena of Chinese and Japanese fine porcelain advances during 17th and 18th centuries. Simultaneously, several European factories were inspired to practice fine porcelain technology; German Meissen was one of the earliest successes. A prime hitherto unanswered question is how Chinese Jingdezhen blue-and-white porcelain and Japanese Kakiemon ware influenced Meissen fine porcelain development. The blue-and-white porcelain's value and significance needs to be judged not just on commercial factors, but in the broader perspective of ceramic research and development in terms of technique, and the study and training of ceramic potters.
