Maps Chronology. Significant text also in Chinese. Name in ink on fep. Yellow highlighting noted. Brian Shane McElney was a collector of East Asian Art for more than three decades. He was a Member of both the Oriental Ceramic Societies of England and of Hong Kong. He had been President of the Oriental Society of Hong Kong. He had been an honorary advisor o Oriental Art to the Hong Kong Museum of Art as well as to other museums in Hong Kong. He became Honorary Curator of the then new Museum of East Asian Art in Bath England. He has authored numerous articles on Chinese ceramics jade and bamboo carvings as well as lectured on these topics widely. The previous owner was Phil Berneburg believed to be the studio art potter with over twenty years' experience a geologist and ceramics engineer and a professor of ceramics in the Masters program at Hood College. His main interests were in creating sculptural ceramics both functional and nonfunctional and in contributing to education in the ceramic arts in particular teaching the technical background of ceramics and its importance and relationship to art pottery. His background has included just about every aspect of ceramic processing including raw materials handling ceramic body preparation shaping and forming techniques firing procedures equipment maintenance and studio and laboratory design and safety. He taught hand building and wheel techniques and the technical aspects of ceramics such as clay properties glaze chemistry and kiln technology. The only museum devoted to East Asian Art to open in England in the last 30 years the Museum of East Asian Art amasses a formidable collection of Chinese art notably ceramics jades and metalworks. This volume presents the museum's fine collection of Chinese ceramics ranging in date from the Neolithic to the Qing dynasty. The Museum of East Asian Art in Bath was founded by Brian McElney. McElney spent his entire working life practicing law in Hong Kong and it was during this time that he was drawn to East Asian and especially Chinese art. In 1958 he bought his first piece an ivory goat and kid after which Brian's collection grew to include jades ceramics scholar's studio objects and bronzes. After his retirement from law in 1983 McElney returned to England and procured the funds for the restoration and refurbishment of the Georgian building that houses the Museum founding the Museum itself in 1990. McElney donated his private collection to form the Museum which he had created as a UK educational charity opening to the public in 1993. Although the bulk of the objects come from this original donation new donations and acquisitions have been made over the years. Since opening to the public in April 1993 the Museum has become one of the most extensive collections of East Asian art outside London and it is the only museum dedicated solely to the arts and cultures of East and Southeast Asia within the UK. With a collection of almost 2000 objects ranging in date from c.5000 BCE to the present day the Museum offers its visitors an insight into the art and cultures of China Japan Korea and Southeast Asia. Home to one of the most comprehensive jade collections in the UK the collection uncovers the skill of East Asian craftsmanship. The Museum of East Asian Art hardcover
