Item description from seller

A sumptuous catalogue of a collection that demonstrates the importance of rigourous focus and connoisseurship in building a collection of Asian ceramics. The collection herein catalogued is limited to a very specific genre and period of the art - that of the products of the Jun kiln and related sites, in the Song and Yuan periods. Jun and Jun-like wares are both unique and unmistakable in Chinese ceramic art, in that their glazes, exceptionally thick and unctuous, are limited to a narrow range of colour from sea green to sky blue, sometimes punctuated dramatically with splashes of brilliant violet. Thus in contrast to the usually subtle charm of most ancient Chinese ceramics, these objects are bold and strikingly modern in appearance. Objects range from bowls to dishes, jars, ewers and vases, censors and miscellaneous forms - all are breathtakingly beautiful examples. 183 pp, 285 colour plates, bibliography, chronology. *** PLEASE NOTE - THIS VOLUME IS HEAVY AND MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL POSTAGE. *** Size: 31 x 23 cm.…
