Summary:

"The book contains 2,165 entries, accompanied by more than 1,000 colour plates and black-and-white illustrations, and further supported by maps, a historical chronology and a timeline of ceramic production throughout China's history. Also included are selected line drawings which provide a graphic analysis of the evolution and variety of shapes (Chapter 1) and decorative styles (Chapter 5) found on Chinese ceramics. Four indices assist readers in locating entries in English or Pinyin. Chinese characters and Pinyin words are listed in entry titles and wherever possible in the body text." "An alphabetical order is implemented where possible in each chapter and/or sub-sections within them, in general accordance with Western dictionary conventions, unless owing to the complexity and at times conflict arising from direct translations from the Chinese language."--BOOK JACKET.
