This book was released on 2007-01-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fashioning of small items has always held a fascination for potters and, in consequence, the field of miniature pottery and porcelain is as wide and as old as the art of potting. Since c.1730, most English manufacturers have produced miniatures of their full-sized wares, yet while countless words have been written about pottery and porcelain, mention of miniatures has been restricted to a chapter in one or two books, and a few magazine articles. Even the best books on English ceramics do scant justice to this minor but understandably popular aspect of collecting. Here, at last, is a comprehensive and definitive work on small items, too large for the 'dolls' house, mostly too small for ordinary use. These include teasets and dinner sets, children's plates, cradles, ewers and basins, jugs, mugs, jelly moulds, taper candlesticks and a few decorative items. Copiously illustrated, it is thoughtfully written by two authors who collected and researched these wares for many years and by so doing becam

Book excerpt: * Learn more about the Chinese culture with these everyday life depictions* Miniatures of all materials: bronze, jade, ivory, porcelain* An intriguing work on the smallest sculpture artSmall China presents Chinese miniatures from 5,000 BCE up to the 15th century. The pocketsize representations of supernatural beings, people, animals, or everyday objects are virtually uncharted in East Asian crafts -- even in China, these objects in jade, bronze, ivory, and porcelain are little known. Koos de Jong explores their arcane meanings and traces their production and the market for such treasures, which, contrary to official secular and religious art, include those devoted to taboo subjects such as erotica or humor. The miniatures had many different functions, from insignia, fetishes and devotional objects to burial gifts or toys. They could express good wishes or even serve as bribes. A rare glimpse into the everyday life of ordinary people and into Chinese handicrafts from thousands of years ago!

Download or read book Life in Miniature written by Nicola Lisle and published by Pen and Sword History. This book was released on 2020-11-23 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “comprehensive and enjoyable” guide to the centuries-long history of dolls’ houses and how they illuminate our past (Books Monthly). Dolls’ houses are tiny slices of social history that give us a fascinating glimpse into domestic life over the last three hundred years. Through text and photos, Nicola Lisle explores the origins and history of dolls’ houses and their furnishings, from the earliest known dolls’ house in sixteenth-century Bavaria to the present, and looks at how they reflect the architecture, fashions, social attitudes, innovations, and craftsmanship of their day. She discusses the changing role of dolls’ houses and highlights significant events and people to give historical context, as well as taking a look at some of the leading dolls’ house manufacturers such as Silber & Fleming and Lines Brothers Ltd (later Triang). Included are numerous examples of interesting dolls’ houses, the stories behind them, and where to see them—including famous models such as Queen Mary’s spectacular 1920s dolls’ house at Windsor Castle. There is also a chapter on model towns and villages, which became popular in the twentieth century and also give us a window on the past by replicating real places or capturing scenes typical of a bygone era, plus advice for dolls’ house collectors, a detailed directory of places to visit, a timeline of dolls’ house history, and recommended further reading.
