Item description from seller

English text; Hardcover (cloth with dust jacket); 25.5 x 30 cm; 2.3 Kg; 304 pages with colour illustrations throughout.; Used book with signs of wear on the exterior and interior. The dust jacket shows edge wear, scuffs and scratches, minor peeling off the laminated layer at the bottom left side of the back cover, which shows a tiny tear near the same spot. Interior with minor signs of wear. Very good condition overall.; An enduring witness to Dutch-Japanese relations is Arita export porcelain made for the Dutch market in the 17th and 18th centuries. The Dutch East India Company (VOC) was instrumental in ordering and distributing a diversity of export wares. Private trade also played and important role. This resulted in the importation of large amounts of Japanese porcelain into The Netherlands, particularly during a period when Chinese porcelain was unavailable. These objects were assimilated into Dutch life and stimulated the interest in exotica from the Orient. While many of the exquisite pieces have been lost over time, numerous examples are still preserved in public and private collections in The Netherlands. In Fine and Curious, Dr. Jorg discusses the variety of export ware and the extraordinary pieces in those collections, many of which are published here for the first time. This survey offers a fascinating insight into a relatively unknown aspect of Dutch-Japanese interaction and is the first book of its kind devoted to giving an overall view of a country's collection in this field.…
