More than any other civilisation, China is renowned for its long
tradition of ceramic production, from its terracotta and stoneware
works in ancient times to the imperial porcelain manufactured at
Jingdezhen from the end of the fourteenth century. These works have
been admired and collected over centuries for their outstanding
quality and refinement. Now two hundred masterpieces from prominent
private collections around the world have been brought together for
the first time in a new book. The Baur Collections in Geneva,
formed between 1928 and 1951, and the Zhuyuetang Collection (the
Bamboo and Moon Pavilion in Hong Kong), which has been building
since the late 1980s, reveal the elegance and variety of imperial
monochrome porcelain wares produced during the Ming (1368-1644) and
Qing (1644-1911) dynasties, which followed on from the Tang
(618-907) and Song (960-1279) periods. These restrained pieces -
both profane and sacred - exemplify the values of simplicity and
modesty espoused by classical Chinese texts. With chapters devoted
to the historical, cultural and technical contexts in which these
pieces were made, this book will be a key reference on Chinese
monochrome ceramics for all lovers of the subject, as well as
students, researchers and connoisseurs. Text in English and French
with Chinese summaries.
