Blue-And-White Porcelain - Meili Yang

. .

Résumé :
This book examines the creation of blue-and-white porcelain in Mongol-Yuan China. The book considers the beginnings and endurance of its relationship with Ming society, and its progression into Japan. Of particular scholarly interest is the native Han attitude toward this Mongol-linked porcelain with its shiny cobalt-blue decoration. A prime hitherto unanswered question is how Chinese Jingdezhen blue-and-white porcelain and Japanese Kakiemon ware influenced Meissen fine porcelain development.
