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: 'The products of the Imperial and other kilns have created one of the gentlest and most beautiful of the arts. The technical inventiveness of Chinese potters - they had discovered methods of glazing pottery by the third century BC - made possible the manufacture of wonderfully delicate materials and colours. Their versatility as artists enabled them to design new shapes, and decorate them with incised or applied motifs which have been imitated throughout the world.
