Book: Antique Chinese Blue and White Porcelain

“Chinese Blue & White Porcelain”

By Duncan Macintosh.
Published by Charles E. Tuttle Company in 1980. 2nd printing.

"It was in the early fourteenth century that the Chinese began to decorate wares of pure high-fired porcelain with paintings in brilliantly coloured cobalt blue. The author traces the history of Chinese Blue and White up to the present day, and pays attention to the impact that the export trade had in Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia. He covers very fully the problems that students new to the field may experience, and in special appendices describes the actual manufacture of Blue and White and the significance and symbolic meaning of many of the designs with which it has been decorated".

Hardcover. 8.5"x11.5", 152 pages, color and black & white illustrations, dust jacket.

The dust jacket has some light wear and a little rubbing; the first endpaper has a light crease, but otherwise the book is fine and clean.

OVERSEAS CUSTOMERS PLEASE NOTE:

-We always welcome orders from customers outside the United States. The United States Post Office has discontinued surface (sea mail) shipments overseas, and so all packages must now go by air, meaning shipping to overseas customers costs more than it used to. You can use the Ebay shipping calculator (below), or use the "Ask Us a Question" button, to find the cost of shipping before you buy a book.

-Import duties, taxes and related import charges added by your country are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer’s responsibility. Please check with your country’s customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying. These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up – please do not confuse them for additional shipping charges, which we never impose. We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as ‘gifts’ to avoid import duties, as this is illegal in most countries.
