Carefully curated by leading scholars, William R. Sargent and Valentina Bruccoleri, the publication presents one hundred outstanding objects selected for their artistic excellence, rarity and historical significance. Spanning roughly a period of 1,400 years, the works featured in this first catalogue for the Albuquerque Foundation reflect the collector's rigorous criteria in bringing together objects that not only illustrate, but also deepen our understanding of the wider field of material culture resulting from encounters between different peoples and cultures. Each highlight is accompanied by expert commentary that situates the object within its cultural, historical, and commercial contexts. The essays explore themes such as cross-cultural exchange and global trade while examining the enduring dialogue between East and West that helped shape and circulation of shared material heritage.…

The dust jacket has edge wear, and scuffs and scratches on the front cover, spine and back cover. Interior with minor signs of wear. Very good condition overall.; This book accompanies a major V&A exhibition that explores three hundred years of mutual fascination between East and West, a period of discoveries, encounters and exchanges initiated by the Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama''s discovery of a sea route to India in 1948. This established, for the first time, direct relations between Europe and maritime Asia and ushered in a dynamic period of commercial, artistic and technological exchange. This compelling story is presented through wide-ranging essays by leading international scholars, including specialists from the V&A. The text is complemented by a sumptuous range of images, many of these remarkable and luxurious pieces being published for the first time. Discoveries, the book''s opening section, examines the western fascination for the materials and technologies of Asia, which existed even before direct contact was established, and charts the route that early Europeans took to the Indies and the new, sophisticated worlds they found there. Encounters, the second section, looks at the human dimension of the story, the meeting of peoples from East and West in different spheres, from highly formalised court audiences to intimate relationships. The exotic visitors from the West aroused much curiosity in Asia as demonstrated in the many Asian depictions of foreigners and their ships. This section also explores how these pale-skinned, strangely dressed peoples were perceived in the East and how images of them were appropriated into existing Asian iconographies. The final section, Exchanges, explores cross-influences in taste, technology and trade. In Europe there was an immediate demand for luxuries such as porcelain, lacquer and textiles made in Asia but suited to western living. In Asia, it was European technology that was most sought after. Clocks, guns, maps and lenses were all imported and simulated by different Asian cultures. In its close examination of the relationships diplomatic, religious and personal between East and West, this book provides both an important scholarly record of this vibrant period in world history and a beautiful document of the works of art and industry that it produced. …

Good readable/working copy.; Catalogue from the exhibition held June 15 - 17 1992 in Celebration of the 100th Anniversary of the Birth of Sir Percival David and the 40th Anniversary of the Opening of the Percival David Foundation.; "In this year of anniversaries for the Percival David Foundation it seemed appropriate that the Percival David Colloquy on Art and Archaeology in Asia should be devoted to a topic of particular relevance to the Foundation's own collection. Since well over half the ceramics in the collection were made at China's main porcelain producing centre, Jingdezhen in Jiangxi province, the wares from these kilns provide the subject for this colloquy. The Jingdezhen in kilns themselves and their products have provided some of the most fascinating archaeological finds in the People's Republica of China in recent years, and we were fortunate to have two speakers from China with first-hand knowledge of this important excavated material. Other contributors pursued a range of topics including technological developments, the organization of the kilns, the significance of ceremonial wares, specific decorative motifs, their origins and evolution, archaism, trading networks, the wares made for particular markets, and the influence of missionaires." excerpt from the foreword by Rosemary E. Scott, Curator, March 1993.…

Álvaro greets you at the door of his discretely chic, vine-covered house tucked away in a quiet corner of central Mexico City, embracing you with an enveloping warmth. Entering the small lobby you are already surrounded by charming porcelain treasures, but as you step into the grand, high-ceilinged main salon your breath is simply taken away. Packs of eighteen century Chinese Porcelain dogs cover French marquetry tables while other tables hold pairs of tall porcelain birds; massive jars with the finest famille rose enamelling flank wide doorways while rare armorial dishes arch across the wall above. (.) I know I am only one among many whose understanding and appreciation of Chinese export porcelain have been enhanced by knowing Álvaro Conde and his collection. Now with the publication of this book, the greater world of Chinese export collectors and connoisseurs can also enjoy and learn from the magnificence of the Álvaro Conde Collection." excerpt from the introduction by Becky MacGuire.…
