Description:
Hong Kong: Chinese University of HK, 2006. Catalogue of a unique collection of ceramic objects decorated by means of carving, incising and applique techniques, thereafter biscuit-fired without glaze. This process became popular in the late Qing and early Republican era and was employed primarily in the production of fine objects for the scholar's desk, such as brushwashers, miniature screens, paperweights, incense containers, snuff bottles and small vases. Decorative elements are also generally drawn from the scholar's world, and include traditional landscapes, bird and flower groups and figural representations. The resulting images, carved in low relief in the fine clay matrix, are intricate and brilliantly crisp. Essays and detailed descriptions in bilingual English/Chinese. 358 pp., over 320 colour plates plus details of artists' marks. *** PLEASE NOTE - THIS VOLUME IS HEAVY AND WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL POSTAGE. *** . First Edition. Hard bound. New/new. 29 x 22 cm..
