Author: Eliens, Titus M.:
Title: Imperial Porcelain from the Shanghai Museum.
Description: 2011, (23 x 29,5 cm), 144 pp. English text, 100 colour ills., paperback. ¶ Only the best was ever good enough for the court of imperial China. It had its own special factories using the highest quality porcelain, the most virtuoso craftsmen and the finest pigments to produce the crème de la crème of Chinese ceramics. Now, for the very first time, a hundred of these masterpieces from the collection of the Shanghai Museum are to be exhibited outside Asia. However, the forthcoming Sovereign Splendour exhibition at the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag will not present these magnificent examples of imperial porcelain in isolation: through a focus on the symbolism and significance of their decoration, it will also introduce the public to the fascinating myths and traditions of pre-revolutionary China.
