Dear Keith,
thank you!! I didn't know them, really wonderful. If I knew them before I would have included the reference into the CD.
Dear all, you may wonder what is behind this. A few years ago I had the idea of making out an e-book in form of CD of the collection of framed Jun shards of the Chinese museum of Parma. It is a collection of 47 different shards. I did detailed pictures of the glaze and paste and my friend Prof. Sabrina Rastelli, associated professor of Chinese Art at the University Cą Foscari of Venice, has written an essay on Jun Ceramics included in the CD, which is for what I know the more updated one on this controversial type of ceramic. My friend Roberta Hancock who I knew through Gotheborg took care of the software and layout. Here below is the image of the cover. Who is interested on the matter can order it at the link below. All we three did our job for free and have no revenue at all from the sale. All the income has the finality to help the Museum, a free entrance one, held by the Xaverian Missionaries. The cost is 25 euro.
Kind regards
Giovanni

Dear Giovanni,

I admired your work greatly and have been meaning to purchase a copy, is it also available as an internet download also?

Dear Keith,
no, it is only available in CD form. The publisher is that of the Missionaries and they are not so updated with modern technologies. You won't believe that I had to convince them to made a Paypal account, they didn't have it before. But they are well organized for shipping. What is really amazing in the CD is Roberta's job. All the about 250 images are linked so you can go everywhere by just a click.
Kind regards
Giovanni
