Oriental Trade Ceramics in South-east Asia - Ninth to Sixteenth Centuries

This historical survey establishes the role of the South-East Asian region in the early East-West maritime trade, and examines the significance of the ceramic evidence in defining the nature and extent of the Asian trade. The text is supported by a fully illustrated catalogue of nearly 200 ceramics selected from Australian collections, by introductions to the technical and stylistic aspects of the different traditions, and by an extensive bibliography.
