"A seminal text detailing the historical, cultural, and artistic significance of Chinese ceramics. It explores how Jingdezhen porcelain became a global cultural symbol and collectible artifact. The book frames porcelain as a historic 'business card' for Chinese culture. Key areas of exploration include: The Imperial Kilns: Yu examines the administration, financial backing, and technological innovations of Jingdezhen, which served as the official supplier for the Ming and Qing imperial courts. Artistic Evolution: The text highlights the shift from the Ming dynasty's celebrated blue-and-white and monochrome glazes to the highly intricate, multi-colored enamels perfected during the Qing dynasty (such as famille verte and famille rose). Global Trade & Influence: Yu details how Ming and Qing porcelain became highly prized global commodities, adapting shapes and decorative motifs to suit Middle Eastern and European markets."

Store description
Welcome to the books platform of Marc Sena Carrel. I operated a professional book business between 2003 and 2017 in the San Francisco Bay Area, including via AbeBooks, and I am now a private party selling off fine books from my personal collection. I carry a choice selection of books, prints and ephemera for the discriminating customer. I focus on scholarly and antiquarian books, with a special emphasis on art books. From time to time I also offer original prints, including but not limited to antique Japanese ukiyo-e prints. Additionally I go in for occasional ephemera. Currently on offer via Abebooks are select titles. My selection is more eclectic and off the beaten path than mainstream and predictable. Please e-mail me at marcsenacarrel@gmail.com if you have any questions or concerns. I will be happy to be of service. Thank you.…
