Shows that the history of the ethnic Chinese in the Philippines is a history in its own right as well as part of Philippine history. Dwells on the demographic, social, and international forces that have shaped that history.
For over a century ceramics have been found and collected from various sites in the Philippines. The presence and distribution of these wares throughout the archipelago testify to the country's strategic location on the ancient maritime trade route and to its interaction with its southern Chinese as well as Southeast Asian neighbors. Of particular interest has been the excavation of grave goods, remnants of the burial culture of the Filipinos before the arrival of the European colonizers. Among these are the much-prized white ware and qingbai ware from Jiangxi, Fujian, and Guangdong provinces in China, as well as white ware of Thai and Vietnamese provenance. Published in connection with an exhibition presented by the Oriental Ceramic Society of the Philippines in Manila in March 1993, this book shows the bulk of the exhibition. comprised of the delicate blue-tinged white qingbai porcelain from Jingdezhen in Jiangxi province and produced in large numbers during the Southern Song period (A.D. 1127-1279). The exceptionally fine craftmanship and variety of shapes are amply illustrated in this book. Included are five previously unpublished papers by Rita C. Tan, Li Zhi-yan, Rosemary E. Scott, Allison I. Diem, and Roxanna M. Broun relating to the characteristics of white ware and to their excavation in the Philippines supplement the catalogue of illustrations.
Zhangzhou Ware was produced during the 16th and 17th centuries in Fujian, China. They were meant to meet the trading demands of neighboring countries in Asia. This catalog substantiates historical accounts of the Philippines as one of the thriving markets of China's ceramic trade in the late Ming period. This collection, featured in hundreds of full color photographs, clearly shows to the world the great range and variety of Zhangzhou ware shipped to the Philippines during the 16th and 17th centuries of the Ming dynasty. Today, Zhangzhou ware continues to attract collectors because of its rustic charm.
"Chinese Pottery and Porcelain: Vol. 1. Pottery and Early Wares" by R. L. Hobson is an academic compilation and commentary on Chinese pottery. Chinese pottery has been a complicated and intricate artwork since its inception, and people have always been interested in how it's evolved over the years.

This book follows Chinese porcelain through the commodity chain, from its production in China to trade with Spanish Merchants in Manila, and to its eventual adoption by colonial society in Mexico. As trade connections increased in the early modern period, porcelain became an immensely popular and global product. This study focuses on one of the most exported objects, the guan. It shows how this porcelain jar was produced, made accessible across vast distances and how designs were borrowed and transformed into new creations within different artistic cultures. While people had increased access to global markets and products, this book argues that this new connectivity could engender more local outlooks and even heightened isolation in some places. It looks beyond the guan to the broader context of transpacific trade during this period, highlighting the importance and impact of Asian commodities in Spanish America.
