Individual chapters concentrate on the production of silk, lacquer and furniture, carving, metalwork, wallpaper and paintings, while three chapters deal with different aspects of ceramics production. It is highly illustrated with specially commissioned photography.Craig Clunas is the author of 'Chinese Export Art and Design', published 1987 under ISBN 9781851770007 and ISBN 1851770003.
