To introduce this and our other new web sites we are offering the book The World of Korean Ceramics by Jon Carter Covell and Alan Covell. The book, published in 1986 is the most comprehensive book on the history of Korean Ceramics available in English. Richly illustrated with 185 color plates, it provides insights into Korean ceramics not found anywhere else in English. It is out of print but a very limited number of copies have been made available to us by the co-author Alan Covell. Each
book is personally signed by him.
Book:
The World of Korean Ceramics
Our price for this rare signed book is only $39.50 - the original publication price - including shipping in the continental USA. A limited number of books are available so don’t be disappointed if they are all gone.
Alan’s mother, Jon Carter Covell, was a friend. Her passing was a great loss to those of us who knew her and to the English speaking world interested in information on Korean and Japanese arts and culture. We highly recommend her and her son’s many other books. Some can be found at Hollym Books. (see our links)
