本文以早期中葡貿易瓷器為主要研究對象，具體時期為澳門開埠前期，即大約1553年至1600年之間。根據文獻記載，葡萄牙人於1514年首次到達中國，此後由於中葡關係一度交惡，未得官方許可的葡商遊走於中國海域的各個離島，與沿海商人暗中進行走私貿易。直到1553年（葡文獻記載為1557年），葡萄牙人佔據澳門，並逐漸將其發展成為葡萄牙對中及亞洲貿易的主要據點，中葡貿易的規模才迅速增長，並趨穩定，保持了隨後近一個世紀的繁盛。 / 澳門開埠，標誌著中葡貿易進入一個新的階段，這一變化亦清晰地反映在作為商品的瓷器之上，除數量的激增外，為了滿足歐洲市場的需要，一批具有全新風格及功能的外銷瓷器被生產出來，這類瓷器即是本文研究和討論的重點。以往由於實物資料的缺乏，以及對克拉克瓷研究的單一關注，學界對澳門開埠前期貿易瓷器面貌的認識長期不足。因此，本文將集中對此時期的貿易瓷器進行系統的整理和分析。 / 學界通常認為，十六、十七世紀之交流行的克拉克瓷器（Kraak Porcelain），是外銷青花瓷器專為歐洲市場創造的全新風格，然而筆者通過近年來對澳門及葡萄牙本土遺址出土瓷器材料的研究與考察，認為這種風格的創新，在澳門開埠不久（即十六世紀中期）已見端倪。因此，本文將選取葡萄牙內陸科英布拉市一處修道院遺址出土的中國瓷器，作為澳門開埠前期貿易瓷器的代表材料，與此前暢銷於東南亞及中東市場的中國瓷器、中葡貿易離島時期所交易的瓷器進行比對，由類型、紋樣及尺寸等方面入手，論證貿易瓷器品貌的巨大轉變發生在澳門開埠前期（1553-1600年）。並在此基礎上，結合文獻檔案及實物資料，進一步論證瓷器面貌發生轉變的原因，是對於歐洲市場審美與功能需要的契合，得出專供歐洲市場的中國外銷瓷產生於澳門開埠前期的結論，挑戰對於克拉克瓷器的傳統認知。 / 最後，本文對貿易瓷器生產的不同階段及其紋樣及類型的發展趨勢進行考證，與後期出現的克拉克瓷器進行比對，理解貿易瓷器的生產革新對於克拉克瓷的先導作用。研究結果亦可釐清十六世紀中後期外銷瓷器的類型與紋樣特徵，完善我們對明代瓷器風貌的認識。 / This thesis mainly focuses on the research of Sino-Portuguese trade porcelain during the early days of Macau’s colonization (between 1553 to 1600 AD). According to historical texts, the Portuguese first arrived in China in 1514 AD. However, because of poor diplomatic relations, the Portuguese resorted to smuggling along the Chinese coasts and neighbouring islands, since they were forbidden to trade near the mainland. It wasn’t until 1553 AD (1557 AD in Portuguese historical texts), the Portuguese occupied Macau and gradually developed it into a main stronghold of Sino-Portuguese maritime trade. Since then, the Sino-Portuguese trade rapidly grew and transitioned into a stable, prosperous business, which lasted almost a century. / Macau’s colonization signified a new stage in Sino-Portuguese trade, which was clearly reflected on porcelain goods. In addition to the increase of quantity, export porcelain with new styles and functions were produced to meet the European market’s demand. These products are the focus of this thesis. In the past, academic research on porcelain during the early period of Macau’s colonization was inadequate due to the lack of first-hand material and the sole focus of Kraak Porcelain. Therefore, this thesis will systematically analyze and categorize the export porcelain during this time period. / Academics generally believed that Kraak Porcelain between the 16th and 17th Centuries was a new trend for the European market. However, through the research and investigations of porcelains unearthed in Macau and Portuguese sites, the writer believes the trend already existed during the early period of Macau’s colonization (mid-16th Century). Therefore, this thesis will use the porcelains unearthed in a monastery site at Coimbra, Portugal as typical research materials, and compare them with the porcelains traded in the Southeast Asian and Middle Eastern markets, along with the early trade porcelains between Chinese and Portuguese merchants (before 1553). Thereby proving the transition and time period of the emergence of export porcelain through types, decoration and dimension. On this basis, combined with historical information and factual evidence, further discuss the change of export porcelain, and its correlation with the aesthetic and functional requirements of the European market. / Last but not least, this thesis will attempt to make the reader understand the transition and innovation of export porcelains may play a leading role to the development of Kraak Porcelain. This will be achieved through comparing the investigation of the different developmental stages of the types and decoration of export porcelains, with Kraak Porcelain, which appeared at a later time period. The research results can also clarify the characteristics of types and decorations of export porcelains during the mid and late 16th Century, which provides a holistic understanding of Ming Dynasty porcelain traits. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / 王冠宇. / Thesis (Ph.D.) Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2015. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 254-270). / Abstracts in English and Chinese. / Wang Guanyu.

Due to limited sources available, Chinese scholars so far are slightly behind the Western scholars in the study of Chinese export porcelain. It is sincerely hope that the current in-depth analysis of Kraak porcelain will contribute to portray a more comprehensive picture of Chinese export porcelain. / Kraak porcelain is a type of Chinese export porcelain with unique features which was produced in the second half of the sixteenth century for European market. It was the earliest type of export porcelain of some scale and had distinct characteristics. In this attempt to understand the rich cultural significance of Kraak porcelain, interdisciplinary research methodologies have been integrated. They include documentary and textual studies (history), calculations and statistics (economics), archaeological typology and stylistic analysis (art history and archaeology). / The aim of the thesis is to carry out a detailed study of Kraak porcelain, in particular specimen from datable contexts and archaeological material, so as to better understand the provenance of Kraak porcelain, its period of production and changes at different stages. Based on the results of the above examinations, a preliminary study of the sale and distribution of Kraak porcelain has been carried out---an area which has been neglected. Related issues such as order placing, different requirements of patrons and export routes are also discussed. / 范夢園. / Adviser: Harold Kar-Leung Mok. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 73-03, Section: A, page: . / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2010. / Includes bibliographical references (p. 248-267). / Electronic reproduction.

The first chapter is a broad review of the recent history of Chinese porcelain from the Ming period to the present day. It includes remarks on the ceramics town of Jingdezhen and on aspects of materials, construction techniques, glazing and enamelling as well as a brief summary of the types of wares. The second chapter is divided into two parts. The first part introduces the formation of the Tatham Art Gallery and the Whitwell Collection. The second part focuses, firstly, on the blue and white porcelain, secondly, on the enamelled porcelain. The pieces are individually physically examined and catalogued under these headings: General description, rim, foot ring, construction, iconography and motifs, glazes, marks and date. The last chapter compares the blue and white pieces, the enamelled pieces and both pieces. This chapter suggests the qualities and special attributes of the wares such as brush marks. / Thesis (M.A.F.A)-University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2002.

The problem discusses the influence that tea trade between England and China may have had on eighteenth-century English garden architecture and aesthetics. Five chapters include an historical overview of non-Oriental influences on the garden, the relationship between Britain and China, the evolution of the tea trade, the motifs and decoration of tea wares, and a summary with conclusions. Conclusions reached were that tea was responsible for importation of porcelains in Britain, architectural structures in the garden were inspired by scenes on tea wares, predilection for Chinese motifs in the minds of the English may have resulted from their drinking tea, and it seems probable that affected garden aesthetics but there is no conclusive evidence.
