Description

New York: Dodd, Mead & Co., 1974. Hardback. First Edition. The Enamels of China and Japan. Wear and tear to D/J. One of the most fascinating items for collectors today is Chinese and Japanese enameled ware, but so scant is the literature on the subject that little is known of the process by which such ware was made and the meaning of the decoration. In this precise, non-technical book the author begins with the history and background of the entire subject, describes various shapes and forms of enameled ware, details the methods of producing intricate designs (the two best known being champlete and cloisonne), gives the meaning of the symbols, writes of the care and cleaning of enamels. The would-be collector and the expert will find this an informative book. Illustrated with photographs in colour. Illustrated. 115 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.) . First Edition. Cloth. Very Good/Fair. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall Octavo. Hardback.
