Chinese Ceramics by Seizo Hayashiya & Gakuji Hasebe First Edition Chinese Ceramics Translated by Charles A. Pomeroy Copyright 1966 by Toto Shuppan Co., Ltd. Printed in Japan – L/C cat. No. 66-12057 “The five-color [wu-ts’ai] ware with its splendorous beauty, the celadon with its air of a deeply concealed philosophy, the white porcelain with its ivory-like appearance, the temmoku with its deep black luster- Such wares as these were originated by no other people but the Chinese.” “Chinese ceramic history, from its primitive beginnings through the ultra-refinements of the Ch’ing period, can be roughly separated into three epochs.” “The first epoch begins with sedentary civilization in China and the making of earthenware pots. The second epoch, spanning about 700 years, dates from the founding of the great T’ang empire in 618. The third epoch,which lasted about 600 years, includes the Yuan period under the Mongols, the succeeding Ming dynasty,and the last great dynasty, the Ching or Manchu, who ruled all of China until the rise of the Republic. Profusely illustrated with 113 plates (22 in color) and 205 figures.
