Download or read book The Copeland Collection written by William Robert Sargent and published by Peabody Essex Museum. This book was released on 1991 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Copeland Collection of 134 Chinese and Japanese ceramic figures, perhaps the most important assemblage of its kind still in private hands, is recognized internationally for the superb quality of its many rare forms. Acquired by Mrs. Lammot du Pont Copeland over the past fifty years, each of these beautifully modeled human and animal figures testifies to the unerring eye of a premiere collector. The majority of these figures are of porcelain, produced during the late seventeenth to the late eighteenth centuries, principally for export to the West. Each individual piece displays the meticulous artistry, the marvelous enameling, and the animation and wit characteristic of this remarkably innovative period in ceramic history However modest in scale, many are important works of art.

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.

Download or read book Blanc de Chine written by Ton Becker and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains the private collection of Blanc de Chine, monochrome porcelain from Dehua, collected by Ton and Mies Becker, both retired medical specialists and collectors of Asian Art. For many centuries the Chinese and Western elite adored the monochrome white porcelain wares made in Dehua, a district in the province of Fujian, bordering the south-easterly coast of China. The appeal being based on the combination of beautiful crafting and an aesthetic creamy glaze. It is this appeal which the authors experienced as an irresistible charm and the urge to start collecting this particular porcelain. A number of short essays has been included, not intended as an all-embracing academic account, but rather as introductory notes for those who develop an interest in collecting Blanc de Chine porcelain. These include considerations about the 'whiteness' of Blanc de Chine, the manufacture and main design categories of Blanc de Chine and the export to Europe. The catalogue of the collection is organised according to the main design categories and consists of photographs of each object, highlighting details if desired, a brief description of each item and explanatory notes to provide information about particular items that may need additional clarification, as well as the date of acquisition and provenance.
