The History of Chinese Ceramics
Adopting the perspective of anthropology of art and combining it with global academic insights, this book helps the readers to recognize that “history is, in great measure, the record of human activity which spreads from the local to the regional, from the regional to the global, and from the global to the universal.” Readers will learn that China was not only the first country to create porcelain, but also the first to export it to the world, both the products and its techniques. Therefore, the history of Chinese ceramics reflects the history of Chinese foreign trade on the one hand and depicts the expansion of Chinese ceramic techniques and cultures on the other. In addition to ceramics types, molds, decoration, and techniques, the book analyzes the spiritual impacts and aesthetic conceptions embodied in the utensils of daily use by the Chinese literati. Therefore, it reaches the conclusion that ideological systems and not technological systems are what bring about social revolutions. In addition, the book is richly illustrated with pictures of earthenware and finely glazed pieces from later periods.

The Chinese Potter
"Most books about Chinese ceramics concentrate on a particular style or period. But in this authoritative and beautifully illustrated volume the author looks at the whole history of Chinese pottery from the point of view of the techniques used by potters and so traces how their craft evolved from the earliest unglazed earthenware pots to highly sophisticated porcelains. She describes the glazes, kilns, clays and working methods of the Chinese potters and makes it clear how certain types of wares could only be produced as the result of particular technological developments. Much of this material is new and the author has made full use of all the recent archaeological reports that have emerged from China. Her clear technical descriptions are easy to follow and anyone with a practical interest in making pots will learn much from them. The specialist will gain a far better understanding of the history of his subject and the superb illustrations will please all who admire Chinese ceramics. Reign marks, maps, diagrams of kilns, a chronological table, a useful glossary and a bibliography are also included." -- Provided by publisher
