Chinese-Islamic studies have concentrated thus far on the arts of
earlier periods with less attention paid to works from the Qing
Dynasty (1644-1912). This book focuses on works of Chinese-Islamic
art from the late seventeenth century to the present day and bring
to the reader's attention several new areas for consideration. The
book examines glass wares which were probably made for a local
Chinese-Muslim clientele, illustrating a fascinating mixture of
traditional Chinese and Muslim craft traditions. While the
inscriptions on them can be related directly to the mosque lamps of
the Arab world, their form and style of decoration is
characteristically that of Han Chinese. Several contemporary
Chinese Muslim artists have succeeded in developing a unique fusion
of calligraphic styles from both cultures. Other works examined
include enamels, porcelains, and interior painted snuff bottles,
with emphasis on either those with Arabic inscriptions, or on works
by Chinese Muslim artists. The book includes a chapter written by
Dr. Shelly Xue and an addendum written by Dr. Riccardo Joppert.
This book will appeal to scholars working in art history, religious
studies, Chinese studies, Chinese history, religious history, and
material culture.
