Item description from seller

English text.; Hardcover.; 23 x 29 cm.; 1.4 kg.; 12 pages with contents, list of plates and introduction, 72 pages with text followed by 54 black and white and colour plates.; Limited edition of 600 copies.; Used with signs of wear on the exterior and interior. The exterior shows wear marks, edge wear, scuffs and scratches. The outside text block shows some yellowing. Interior with ad ex-libris glued to the back of the front cover and a previous owner stamp on the title and publisher page. Remaining interior with some yellowing. The plates have acid free paper, a few are bent and show wrinkles.; "Lacquer-ware is perhaps the most characteristic of the Chinese Industrial Arts; for, in the proper sense of its accepted name, it belongs exclusively to that nation and to their pupils, the Japanese. Yet the study of it has been curiously neglected in spite of the popularity of the European imitations of two centuries and a half. This is probably due to the difficulties of an intricate technique and the use of a material unknown, for practical purposes, outside the zone of its origin. Pottery is of universal use and every-one is familiar with it, in one form or another. Lacquer-ware, on the other hand, is, for us, always an exotic. Had we the intimate knowledge of its fine qualities that we possess of ceramic wares, one might safely assume that lacquer would hardly be valued in less degree than the productions of the Chinese potter. The purpose of this volume is, so far as may be, to bring the story of Chinese lacquer before the public in definite form; and, perhaps, to lay a foundation on which other students may build." excerpt from the introduction.
