Early Chinese Glass (English and Chinese Edition)

By Simon Kwan

In this book the author presents a most comprehensive study on early Chinese glass, illustrating with his own vast collection on Chinese glass. In his lengthy essay, he discussed the historical development, the evolution of recipes, and the dynastic styles of Chinese glass from the Western Zhou to the Ming periods. This is followed by a detailed catalogue of the 230 glass pieces in the Kwan collection and appended by two essays (in English) on chemical analysis, a table of archaeological finds of Chinese glass, a glossary and a bibliography. This is an indispensable reference for all serious students and scholars in the field of ancient Chinese glass.
