Book Synopsis Allen's Antique Chinese Porcelain ***The Detection of Fakes*** by : MR Anthony John Allen
Download or read book Allen's Antique Chinese Porcelain ***The Detection of Fakes*** written by MR Anthony John Allen and published by . This book was released on 2015-05-07 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Anthony J. Allen, the author of four best-selling books on ancient Chinese bronzes, ancient Chinese ceramics, and two others on later Chinese porcelain, "Allen's Antique Chinese Porcelain *** The Detection of Fakes" is his most ambitious project yet. In plain language, he describes tricks of the trade learned over his long experience authenticating genuine antiques and detecting fakes. The minefield that antique Chinese porcelain can become for the uninitiated is described and illustrated in full colour detail with examples dating from the Ming dynasty circa 1500 AD to 2000 AD. There is also brief mention of some of the pottery and stoneware ceramics in this period. This book is aimed at the novice collector, dealer, or museum curator, who largely because of rapidly escalating prices and presence of fakes, is often too frightened to enter the fascinating field of antique Chinese porcelain. Both novice and experienced readers will learn from his authentication techniques, as he describes never before published features to look for, firstly to authenticate genuine antique porcelain, but also to rule out the bane of every collector; the fake made intentionally to deceive. Non-Chinese speaking readers are taught to read reign marks and to distinguish genuine marks from those apocryphal marks which have been added to a later piece. There is even a formula for converting Islamic dates to the Gregorian calendar. Allen's forthright style of writing may upset some of his peers, sections of academia, and the sellers of fakes, for which he has zero tolerance, as he leads readers through Imperial, domestic and export porcelain, then into the sub-branches including shipwrecks and shards recovered from the old kiln sites in Jingdezhen, the porcelain capital of China. Underglaze blue, famille rose and verte, monochromes, and pieces of various age, shape and decoration are illustrated, not just with a frontal view, but also of the undersides. Export wares, now the most common type of antique Chinese porcelain still available in the West, get special attention as he focuses on late Ming dynasty wares, underglaze blue, 18th century Chinese Imari, Batavian wares, armorial porcelain and famille rose of the 18th and 19th centuries. Faults, flaws, imperfections, foot rims, glazes, bubbles, are illustrated at length, including those features one expects to find, but also those that should not be present, notably on fakes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chinese Porcelain, Vol. 2 In the sixteenth century porcelain was so highly esteemed in Europe that many pieces were mounted in silver, and it is reasonable to suppose that the best specimens were selected for this honour. N ow, except, perhaps, where historical value attaches, as in the case of the Trenchard and Warham bowls, the mountings, as samples of early silver work, are of more value than the china they were originally designed to protect and ornament. The reason for this being that much finer porcelain has since come to hand; while to give value, artistic merit is necessary, as well as mere antiquity; and in the former qualification the Ming productions have been greatly distanced by the Tsing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of Antique Chinese Porcelains Individual pieces of rose-colored porcelain may be seen in the European collections, but the famille rose representation in the Garland cabinet is the best. In the Dresden Museum collection the famille verte va riety of decorated porcelain excels the examples shown in the Garland collection. In the precious eggshell porcelains there are nearly one hundred specimens in the Garland cabinets. This array of decorated plates, vases, and lanterns is beyond question the finest in the world. The Garland collection, in the estimation of students of the decorated porcelain of China, has more points of excellence than any single public col leetion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chinese Porcelain: Sixteenth-Century Coloured Illustrations With Chinese Ms. Text The illustrated manuscript catalogue reproduced in the following pages, the work of a celebrated Chinese connoisseur of the sixteenth century of our era, came into my possession more than twenty years ago. The original, bound in the ordinary Chinese fashion in four volumes between rosewood boards, was shown at the time to the Peking Oriental Society, and excited much interest. It was described in a paper read before the Society, l and subsequently prepared for publication and brought to England for the purpose. But the valuable Chinese album, together with my own poor notes on the subject, was burned up in the disastrous fire at Whiteley's Repository in 1887. It only remains for me to state, in a few words, how, by a happy chance, the loss has not been altogether irretrievable. The album, before it was brought to my notice, had been taken to His Excellency M. Von Brandt, a well-known authority on Far Eastern subjects, who was then German Minister at Peking. Recognizing its importance as a document in the history of Chinese ceramic art, Herr von Brandt, although he declined to buy it outright, commissioned a Chinese artist named Li Teng-yuan to make a careful copy of it. The said Chinese artist, a protege of the Lazarist Fathers at Peking, made at the same time a duplicate copy for his own use, with illustrations and text complete, and has since, doubtless, executed many another for European and American collectors, as well as for his native clientele. I was fortunate in being able to secure from him the present copy on my return to Peking, which was executed, as the artist notes in the preface (p. In the 1sth year (a. D. 1888) of the reigning emperor Kuang Hsu. My friend Captain F. Brinkley must also have acquired a copy from the same source, to supply eleven of the coloured illustrations to his learned disquisition on the 'keramic art of Our clever and versatile Chinese artist is the author, as well, of most of the quaint illustrations in Monseigneur A. Pavier's attractive work on Peking,3 several of which he has evidently culled, although unacknowledged, from the old porcelain album.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Identify Old Chinese Porcelain There is doubtless much valuable Chinese porcelain in this country and in America about which its owners know very little; and at a time when attention has been drawn to it by the high prices realised in London sale-rooms many people desire to know more about their possessions and the subject generally. It has seemed to me therefore that a cheap and simple book may be acceptable. This little work is not put forth in any sense as a finished history and description of Chinese porcelain, but is written solely to help the amateur to make a beginning in the study of the most interesting and difficult branch of Ceramic Art.
