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 The book also includes a very special unpublished material from a mysterious fourteenth century shipwreck in the Red Sea.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.

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.
