Book Description
The Honda collection is one of the finest private collections of South-East Asian ceramics ever assembled. Exceptional in its range and quality, it includes over 350 pieces from Burma, Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand that span some 4,000 years, from the Neolithic period to the seventeenth century. The pieces are outstanding and in excellent condition. They serve as model examples to present the latest research on various aspects of South-East Asian ceramics, including new kiln sites and dating. This English edition aims to make the Honda collection available to a wider, more general readership. Not only does it boast superb colour photographs of the pieces featured but it also contains an abundance of black-and-white illustrations, including photographs, line drawings, and maps, to augment the text.
