English text; Paperback.; 23 x 25.5 cm; 1.022 Kg; 182 pages with colour illustrations throughout.; Used with signs of wear on the exterior. Interior in very good condition. Forms of Pleasure is a tale of the diverse and imaginative earthenware and stoneware ceramics of China, from their early use in the burial world to their emergence into the daily life of its people. It ends when cobalt blue begins to decorate and dictate the form of the pieces. Although a tale based on art objects, it is also tells of the culture of sedentary people whose settled lands permitted not only a prosperous agriculture, but also a rich and diverse experimentation on ceramics, the secrets of some which remained unknown in the western world until the eighteenth century..
