Japanese Export Porcelain Catalogue of the Collection of the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford

Japanese porcelain played an important role in the decorative schemes of European palaces and country houses in the second half of the 17th century, the continuation of which is felt to this day. Japanese porcelain was imported into Europe from the end of the 1650s until the late 1730s - the period covered in this catalog. The Ashmolean Museum has perhaps the most comprehensive collection in the West. More than 400 pieces are included, among which Arita, Ko-Imari and Kakiemon porcelains, each illustrated and discussed with some comparative material.Impey, Oliver R. is the author of 'Japanese Export Porcelain Catalogue of the Collection of the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford' with ISBN 9789074822398 and ISBN 9074822398.
