Discover ancient Chinese pottery in the Philippines and how it shaped a island world’s trade and taste.
This monograph traces early contacts between China and the Philippine Islands through the lens of ceramic ware. It examines dragon-jars and other Kuiang-yao glazes, the rise of Manila’s Chinese community, and the cultural exchange that followed. Rich in historical detail, it links material pieces to broader histories of trade, diplomacy, and daily life across centuries.
Readers will encounter a careful survey of kilns, glazes, and styles, with attention to how objects were used and valued by different cultures. The text situates Philippine pottery within Chinese ceramic traditions and considers how local myths and market demands influenced collection and attribution.
Ideal for readers of museum catalogs, readers with an interest in early cross‑cultural trade, and anyone curious about the material history of the Philippines.
