This is the history, art, and exportation of Chinese ceramics through the extraordinary pieces from the Muller Collection at the Baur Foundation.Known for their beauty, subtle colors, and astonishing forms, Chinese export ceramics are some of the most exquisite and delicate works of art ever created, and are the subject of admiration for generations of art lovers, collectors, and scholars. In this extraordinary book, a wide range of porcelain created and decorated exclusively for export to Southeast Asian markets - not to the West - is presented in vibrant photographs.These fascinating, finely crafted pieces, from the Muller Collection in Geneva, are designed for daily use: plates, cups, saucers, and teapots.

Often called Nyonya ware after the Nyonyas or womenfolk of this unique subcategory of Chinese whose ancestors first settled in Malacca in the fifteenth century, it was used on festive occasions and for special functions such as weddings, birthdays, anniversaries and Chinese New Year. Straits Chinese porcelain is distinctive for its colourful famille rose enamels, enduring motifs, most often phoenixes, peonies and other symbols of marital bliss and longevity, and simple, functional shapes.

Southeast Asian Ceramics. New Light on Old Pottery.
MIKSIC, JOHN N. (ED.) Stock ID: 132549 Maps, colour photographic illustrations, 175 pages, index, bibliography, timeline, dustjacket. Southeast Asia is known to many as a region teeming with tourist destinations, economic opportunities and ex-colonies, but a lesser known facet is its colourful and myriad cultures in which ceramics form an integral part of the social fabric. Focusing primarily on the Classical Period (8001500 CE), this book views ancient Southeast Asian culture through the lens of ceramic production and trade, influenced but not completely overshadowed by its powerful neighbour, China. In this landmark publication, which accompanied the exhibition of the same name, noted archaeologist and scholar John N. Miksic constructs a vivid picture of the development of Southeast Asias unique ceramics. Along with three contributing authors Pamela M.Watkins, Dawn F. Rooney and Michael Flecker he summarizes the fruits of their research over the last forty years, beginning in Singapore with the founding of the Southeast Asian Ceramic Society (SEACS) in 1969. The result is a comprehensive and insightful overview of the technology, aesthetics and organization, both economic and political, of seemingly diverse territories in pre-colonial Southeast Asia. It is essential reading for all those with an interest in the economic history of the region, and also for anyone who seeks a better understanding of the brilliant but too often underestimated material culture of Southeast Asia.
