A catalogue designed to accompany the Ling Collection exhibition at The Art Gallery, University of Maryland, is a journey through the history of ceramics in China. The black and white photographs intimate the delicacy of design which is characteristic of the Chinese aesthetic, though readers may be surprised to learn that these museum pieces were originally created for practical, daily use or for ritual burial purposes. The collection ranges from the Neolithic period to the Qing dynasty, and the essays that accompany the photographs give important art history background to the different periods. No index. Distributed by The University of Washington Press. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
