Bookseller sticker glued to the rear of the back cover top left side.; Catalogue from an exhibition presented by The Oriental Ceramic Society of Hong Kong and The Urban Council, Hong Kong, January 26 to April 2, 1979, at the Hong Kong Museum of Art.; "The Oriental Ceramic Society of Hong Kong first came into existence in 1974, and this is the third exhibition mounted in Hong Kong by the society and the second to be held in the Hong Kong Museum of Art. The exhibition on this occasion is devoted to Chinese and South-East Asian ceramics, mainly of the varieties used as trade wares in centuries past.Sir John Addis has honoured the society by writing the introduction to the Chinese ceramics section of the exhibition, which has been supplemented by essays on specific subjects by Dr Ip Yee, Dr Adrian Joseph, Dr Philip Wen-chee Mao and myself; and Roxanna M. Brown has generously consented to write the introduction to the South-East Asian wares section. Sir John's encouragement of the society from its beginnings has been most welcome, and we are particularly pleased that both he and Ms Brown should consent to write introductions in view of their well-known expertise in many of the types of ceramics included. Considerable advances have been made over the past ten years in our understanding of the types of wares exhibited as a result partly of excavations in many parts of South-East Asia and elsewhere notably of the shipwrecks off the coast of South Korea at Sinan and in the Gulf of Siam and partly from an intensive study of the wares themselves. Since the Manila Trade Pottery Seminar of 1968 numerous exhibitions of trade wares have been organized in many parts of the world, and a symposium was held recently at the Chinese University of Hong Kong during which provenances and dates were suggested for whole classes of early Sung ceramics, thus adding considerably to our knowledge of the wares of this early period. It is hoped that this exhibition will give new stimulus to interest in the subject and provide new collectors with a basic knowledge of the types of wares which can occasionally still be found today in the markets of South-East Asia. The diverse pieces being shown have been drawn almost without exception from Hong Kong collections and whilst the exhibition does not pretend to be comprehensive, examples are included of most of the main types of ceramic wares commonly traded in the Far East in the period prior to 1660." excerpt from the foreword by Brian S. McElney, President, The Oriental Ceramic Society of Hong Kong, September 1978.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. English text.; Hardcover (without dust jacket - as issued); 19 x 25.5 cm; 0.5 Kg; 96 pages with black-and-white and colour illustrations throughout.; Used book with minor signs of wear on the exterior. Interior in very good condition.; "The present exhibition, although far… from being comprehensive, does cover with a certain uneveness, the period from Yuan to late Ching. However, the "Transitional" period is very well represented. There are also sufficient "Export" wares, which are not necessarily of the same period, to demonstrate the varying tastes of South-east Asia, the Middle East and Africa, Europe and Japan. The underglaze red pieces illustrate the close relationship that has always existed between this class and underglaze blue. However, it is possible in this exhibition to follow step by step the changes in shape, designs and motifs that took place reign by reign, dynasty by dynasty and also to trace the changes in the shades and intensities of the cobalt blue, and the differences in the glazes and porcelain bodies of Yuan to Ching." excerpt from the preface by Philip Wen-Chee Mao, President, Oriental Ceramic Society of Hong Kong, 1975.
