CHINESE BLUE & WHITE PORCELAIN
by Duncan Macintosh, Charles Tuttle Co, VT, 1977.
The author traces the history of Chinese Blue and White up to the present days, and pays attention to the impact that the export trade had in Europe, North America and Southeast Asia.  The twists and turns in the development of Blue and White are described against the backcloth of events in China and elsewhere, and the personalities of the various Emperors who commanded the production of new Blue and White wares.  The book covers by chapter: Introduction; Origins: The Fourteenth Century; The Classical Period: The Fifteenth Century; Late Ming Wares; The Sixteenth Century; New Development: The Seventeenth Century; Later Blue and White: The Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries; Provincial Ming Wares and Exports to Southeast Asia; and Blue and White and the West.  The Appendices cover The Manufacture of Blue and White; Decorative Motifs and Marks; Collecting Blue and White; and Notes and Bibliography.  Whether a student or advanced collector of Chinese blue and white, you will find this early out-of-print text an invaluable resource reference book.
