The box represents great temptation. "Open me" it says. The human cannot resist it; its charm is overwhelming. So too, is the charm of this remarkable book, in which antique boxes and tea caddies - along with the people who inspired, made, and used them - dance gracefully through the pages. The reader is guided through the aesthetic, cultural, and social influences of the years covered, accumulating a deep understanding of the form, decoration, and purpose of eighteenth and nineteenth century boxes. The extensive text covers wooden, tortoiseshell, ivory, papier m*^ach*/e, and lacquer boxes. There are chapters on Anglo Indian, Scottish, Irish, Penwork, Straw work, and Tunbridge ware boxes, as well as on boxes made for special purposes. Captions include complete descriptions, values, and circa dates for all boxes shown. The 905 images include original drawings, magnificent photographs of complete pieces, and close-ups illustrating the structure and decoration of boxes. This is an indispensable companion for box collectors and reflects fascinating information about cultural forces that shaped the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

First published in 1985, The Chinese Art of Tea is an exploration into the history of tea and the Chinese art of tea, known as ch’a-shu. The book begins by delving into the history and legends surrounding tea before moving on to a study of the Emperor Hui Tsung’s treatise on tea and approaches to tea during the Ming Dynasty. It discusses tea gardens, teahouses, the relationship between tea and ceramics, and the connection between tea and health. The book also features a detailed manual for practising the art of drinking tea, including advice for choosing tea, buying tea, different types of infusion and drinking vessels, and the attitude required for obtaining the fullest satisfaction from tea. The Chinese Art of Tea is ideal for anyone with an interest in the history and art of drinking tea, and the social and cultural history of China.

中国人很早就发现和利用茶了,茶“发乎神家氏,闻于鲁周公”,算起来已有四五千年的历史,人们对茶的利用也经历了从最初的药用、食用到饮用的过程。在茶的生产、加工和品饮过程中,茶与政治、经济、宗教、哲学、文学、艺术相互影响,渐渐形成了丰富多彩、独具特色的中华茶文化。特别是茶融入儒、道、佛三教后,中华茶文化的内涵变得更加丰富。如今茶已渗透到中国人生活的各个环节。茶作为自然界中的尤物,其特性与中国人中庸、平实的性情十分契合,无怪科茶会成为中国人必备的包饮料。从某种意义上说,茶是中华民族的象征。自茶与中国人结缘之后,历代文人、学者对茶都有不同程度的记载、描述及研究,为我们留下了宝贵的茶文化资料。
