Chinese ceramics have stood out for their beauty, form and function, and for their impact on domestic and international demand. Their art historical value has helped scholars and historians refine information and data on China's social and political history and culture. Thus began the taste for Chinese porcelain, one that has led to an unceasing world interest in it. Today, China's ceramic legacy dominates many art collections worldwide and continues to inspire active scholarly research. This volume, the first ever of its kind in the English language, is aimed at collectors, curators, scholars and enthusiasts engaged in this fascinating art form. Information provided serves a comprehensive range of enquiries arising from the study of Chinese porcelains and has been carefully researched and written by internationally known expert and scholar, Professor Wang Qingzheng and his team of experts at the Ceramics Department of the Shanghai Museum. Also included are line drawings providing a graphic analysis of the evolution and variety of shapes and decorative styles found on Chinese ceramics.
