The great white porcelains of China - a connoisseur's notes & records,
By K. Maxwell "katmax1" (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Blanc de Chine: The Great Porcelain of Dehua (Hardcover)
Written in 2002 this book is an attempt by a long term connoisseur of Chinese blanc de chine (aka Dehua ) porcelain to record what he has learnt though great effort over the years and pass it on. The book takes you though the history of this type of porcelain and what seperates it from other white porcelains both in China and Europe. Fortunatley the book also discusses technical aspects of the porcelain, how to identify fakes and the past great Chinese masters of Dehua.
If you are a collector of this type of porcelain then this book is one you should have in your collection if only for the various examples of the china he has illustrated from various public and private collections. Even if you can never afford to own an original Dehua piece from the 17th century (the best period, along with the early 18th century) this is an interesting specialist book on a type of chinese porcelain that is probably more appreciated in the west than the east these days if the state of modern knowledge on the porcelain makers in Dehua is anything to go by. |
