Description:
This is the soft cover book: The Chinese Potter- A practical History of Chinese Ceramics, by Margaret Medley. Written by the former curator of the Percival David Foundation of Chinese Art. A remarkable and very readable survey of the technology and evolution of Chinese ceramics. This authoritative book looks at the evolving techniques which Chinese potters have used to create the first unglazed earthenwares and later highly sophisticated porcelains. It describes the glazes, the kilns, the clays and the working methods. It has reign marks, maps, diagrams, chronological tables and a useful glossary. From the back cover: Most books about Chinese ceramics concentrate on a particular style or period. But in this authoritative and beautifully illustrated book, the author looks at the whole history of Chinese pottery from the point of view of the techniques used by potters and so traces how their craft evolved from the earliest unglazed earthenware pots to highly sophisticated porcelains.
