About This Item
Rutland, VT, and Tokyo, Japan: Charles E. Tuttle Company, 1962. Cloth, xvi, 208 pages, 59 pages of plates, illustrations (some colour); 27 cm. First published 1923 by Benn Brothers, Ltd . This edition is a complete photographic reprint of the original, with the plates slightly rearranged. Reprint 1983. Near fine. Tight, clean copy. Age toning. Dust jacket protected in a mylar cover. No slipcase. "This book explains and illustrates as many varieties of Ming ceramics as possible. The text is based primarily on information obtained from Chinese sources and the occasional notes made by Europeans who visited China in Ming times. To these, Mr. Hobson has added his own penetrating deductions, made after careful study of well-authenticated specimens and of observation by earlier scholars. His presentation is not only clear and precise but also incontestably authoritative and at the same time highly readable." - Publisher.. Hardcover. Very Good/Fine. 4to.
