Chinese porcelain, the East India Company, and British cultural identity, 1600-1800 / Stacey Pierson Summary Combining strikingly new scholarship by art historians, historians, and ethnomusicologists, this interdisciplinary volume illuminates trade ties within East Asia, and from East Asia outwards, in the years 1550 to 1800. While not encyclopedic, the selected topics greatly advance our sense of this trade picture. Throughout the book, multi-part trade structures are excavated; the presence of European powers within the Asian trade nexus features as part of this narrative. Visual goods are highlighted, including lacquerwares, musical instruments, Chinese bronze coins, unfired ceramic portrait figurines, and Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Southeast Asian ceramic vessels. These essays underscore the significance of Asian industries producing multiples, and the rhetorical charge of these goods, shifting in meaning as they move. Building reverberations between merchant networks and the look of the objects themselves, this richly-illustrated book brings to light the Asian trade engine powering the early modern visual cultures of East and Southeast Asia, the American colonies, and Europe Analysis Maritime Trade Early Modern Trade Early Modern Art East Asian Trade Networks Asian Export Art Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes In English Description based on print version record Subject Material culture -- East Asia Artisans -- East Asia Material culture -- East Asia -- Pictorial works Artisans -- East Asia -- Pictorial works BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Exports & Imports.
