China has the longest an most highly developed ceramic tradition in the world,
encompassing early Neolithic earthen wares, the finely glazed stoneware pieces
of the Song period—widely regarded as among the greatest ceramics ever produced—and the years of Imperial patronage and export ware for the new markets of
the West. Margaret Medley's groundbreaking study was the first to bring a practical
approach to the study of Chinese pottery. She makes full use of archaeological
reports to show how differing geographical areas, materials and developing technology
all shaped the evolution of Chinese ceramics. Her revolutionary insights, along
with an astute critical judgment in the field of art history itself, combine to
form a classic but approachable account of the whole history of Chinese pottery. |
