Description

Explore the complex history of collecting and material culture with this Routledge publication. This book examines the connection between Chinese ceramics, interior design, and display within Britain. By focusing on the years leading up to, during, and after the Second World War, it provides a detailed look at how collectors and tastemakers shaped aesthetic trends. The study uses the Ionides Collection of European style Chinese export porcelain as its central focus. This collection is known for its design hybridity, offering a unique perspective on how porcelain functioned in different settings. From seventeenth-century Batavia to twentieth-century Britain, the text examines how these objects influenced perceptions of identity, Britishness, and Chineseness. This work is an essential resource for those interested in the history of art, museums, and the social impact of collecting. It provides a deep look into how material objects move through different cultural contexts and influence the way spaces are designed and perceived.
