Barry Davies Oriental Art.

Testo in inglese.

This is an important reference book on Japanese porcelains.

Imari porcelains can basically be defined as underglaze blue, decorated in iron-red and gilt. It was very much the vogue in 18th century Europe amongst the aristocracy and wealthy merchant classes and was so popular that it was copied by all the major factories in Europe including those at Meissen, Delft, Chantilly, Worcester and Bow.

Richly illustrated, featuring 139 pieces of Ko-Imari porcelains from the private collection of Dr. Oliver Impey, an eminent scholar on Japanese porcelain. Including various pieces from the collections of the Duchess of Portland and the Drayton House, these fine pieces date from the mid-17th to the 18th centuries.

With only a few significant museum collections of this type, this presents a wonderful opportunity for scholars and enthusiasts alike to view and study from a unique and academic source.
