Seller Description
Published in 1977 by The Asia Society, Inc., this is an important exhibition catalog of Chinese ceramics from Japanese collections that were exhibited at various museums and institutions in the U.S. Please see all photographs for publishing information. The purpose of the exhibit was to illustrate a variety of Chinese ceramics that appealed to and influenced Japanese aesthetics. Included are diplomatic gifts, ceramics fashioned for Japanese tea masters, such as kosometsuke, celadons, and decorated wares. Many of these items are described with a fascinating history of their ownership and use in Japan, and their superb provenance makes for an invaluable resource for dating Chinese ceramics. This is also an essential reference for collectors seeking out Chinese ceramics found in Japan. 135 pages with color and black and white photographs. Paperbound. Condition: clean pages with slight yellowing owing to age, shelf wear to spine and creases to the paper covers. No marks or tears. Out-of-Print.
