This unique and much acclaimed
publication is still the only reference work to deal comprehensively
with the entire subject of the many types of marks to appear on Chinese
ceramics. These appeared on pottery and porcelain with increasing
frequency from the Tang Dynasty (AD618 - 906) through to the end of
the Qing dynasty, in the opening years of the 20th century. |
| Over 1830 different
marks are beautifully reproduced and compiled in sections and groups
to make recognition of such unfamiliar shapes as easy as possible.
All of the marks are translated into English together with the pinyin
romanisation. The range of marks includes not only those in regular
kaishu script but also some 200 marks redrawn in classical
zhuanshu seal script form. The very detailed index and directory
provides a wide range of historical, dating, geographical and mythological
information for each mark. |

A detailed cyclical table is included
for translating the jiazi dating system often included in commemorative
marks. From Imperial marks to the many "hall" and auspicious
marks used by Chinese scholars and collectors, this is the essential
book for all professional buyers, collectors and antique and art dealers
with an interest in Chinese art. Written in a way that will appeal
to the beginner as well as the experienced professional, the introduction
contains 40 colour illustrations of diverse objects together with
their marks. |
