The first major publication to present Chinese and Japanese blue and white porcelain together, from the Frelinghuysen collection. This beautifully illustrated book presents the Frelinghuysen collection of Chinese and Japanese export porcelain. It is the first major publication to consider Chinese and Japanese blue and white together. This extraordinary collection, assembled carefully over fifty years, features an exceptionally wide array of Asian blue and white porcelain—the most ubiquitous and influential of all ceramics. Ranging from Chinese pieces specially made for Portuguese traders in the sixteenth century to late nineteenth-century commissions for the Thai royal court, the collection also includes numerous Chinese classics from the era of the European trading companies and a notable selection of Japanese export porcelain. In its vast scope, it speaks of the diverse impulses and historical forces that propelled the trade in Asian porcelain and provides a lens to view the interaction of East and West from the early modern age to the dawn of the twentieth century. More than 300 pieces from the collection are illustrated and discussed in full and another 250 are illustrated in a compendium, all divided into thematic chapters that reflect the many ways Chinese and Japanese porcelain has been traded, collected, and used around the world.

Highlights the most significant private collection ever formed of Chinese porcelain made for export in the first decades of the 19th century.Drawing from the most significant private collection ever formed of Chinese porcelain made for export in the first decades of the 19th century, this lavishly illustrated book explores the high-quality, richly enamelled wares too often overlooked by studies focused on the 18th-century China trade. Made at a time when the nature of East-West trade was changing, when the European trading companies were no longer importing large quantities of Chinese porcelain and the enamelling workshops of Guangzhou were, instead, selling to private traders from Europe, India, the Middle East and the new nation of America, this material reflects the captivating cultural interchange the trade inspired with its blend of Western forms and wholly Chinese decoration. Foreign Colors is the first book to provide a scholarly framework for the dating and classification of these wares and to separate them from the poor-quality export material made in the second half of the century. It will be a revelation to those who have previously dismissed all 19th-century export porcelain production.
