由柯玫瑰(Rose Kerr)、约翰•盖尔(John Ayers)所著《中国白——德化白瓷》(Blanc de Chine—porcelain from Dehua)于2002年经新加坡亚洲文明博物馆出版,是继唐纳利《中国白——福建德化瓷》之后的一本专门研究德化白瓷的专著,影响甚为深远。
该书收录的都为国外研究德化白瓷的知名学者所撰写德化白瓷研究资料。包括柯玫瑰的“德化器物款识介绍”,海蒂(Heidi Tan)的“鉴赏家探访”,约翰•盖尔的“中国白的影响”,何翠媚(Chuimei Ho)的“考古眼光中的中国白”,郭勒逊(Kenson Kwok)的“德化雕塑结构的一点看法”,埃娃•施特勒伯(Eva Strober)的“德累斯顿的斯特朗大帝收藏的德化瓷”,以及附录介绍等七个部分,从不同角度介绍了德化白瓷。与此同时,该书收录的160件德化窑精品,为Hickley家藏,后捐赠给新加坡亚洲文明博物馆,是了解、品鉴、研究德化白瓷不可多得的艺术精品。

Blanc de Chine in archaeological perspective: a tribute to Do

考古眼光中的“中国白”(二)——何翠媚
(翻译: 孙延燕)
Production: Workshops of Blanc-de-chine Ware
based on survey reports, Do
elly discussed the importance of Dehua as the centre of production for blanc de Chine ware since the sixteenth century. In Dehua itself the earliest datable evidence came from a burial which contained a tablet inscribed with the date 1519 in cobalt blue. Two other early tombs have been dated to 1559 and1644 respectively. It is significant to note that blanc de Chine pieces were present in all these three tombs. The 1644 tomb had more blanc de Chine pieces than the earlier two tombs, including one bronze-shaped censer, one lion, and one human figurine. Interestingly, the designs of vases and candlesticks of these three tombs are strikingly similar, even though they are more than a century apart.
生产:中国白瓷器的作坊
根据调查报告,唐纳利讨论了自十六世纪以来德化作为中国白瓷器生产中心的重要性。德化本身最早的资料证明来自一个墓葬,在它里面发现了一块刻有1519年钴蓝色日期的墓碑。另外两座早期墓葬分别追溯到1559年和1644年。值得注意的是,这三座墓葬中都有“中国白”瓷器。1644年的墓葬比前两座墓葬有更多的中国白标本,包括一个青铜器型的香炉、一头狮子和一个人像。有趣的是,这三座墓葬的花瓶和烛台的设计惊人相似,尽管它们相隔一个多世纪。
In terms of our understanding of blanc de Chine production sites, not much has been advanced since Do
elly's time as no ancient blanc de Chine kiln has ever been excavated. It is unfortunate that most of the kilns in question were urban kilns-they were located within Dehua township, where archaeological sites have little chance of survival intact. Fortunately, Xu Benzhang, a dedicated local scholar who single-handedly operated the Dehua Cultural Office and later the Dehua Museum, "thoroughly surveyed the area in the 1960s and 1970s Had Xu's records not existed, the general distribution of sixteenth-to seventeenth-century blanc de Chine kilns would have remained very unclear.
就我们对中国白的生产地点的了解而言,因没有发现更多古代中国白瓷窑址,因此,自唐纳利时代以来没有更多进展。同样不幸的是,大多数窑址位于德化城关,考古遗址保存完好的可能性很小。幸运的是,徐本章,作为一位在德化文化部门工作,后建立了德化陶瓷博物馆的全心全意付出的地方学者,在上世纪60、70年代,对这一地区进行了彻底的调查。如果没有徐本章的记录,十六世纪到十七世纪中国白的总体分布情况就会很不清楚。
