A landmark study of the ceramics that crossed seas intothe Philippine islands.
This 1970 Tuttle second printing arrives complete with itsoriginal slipcase — a detail that quietly elevates the book’s presence andsignals careful stewardship across the decades. The dust jacket shows itshistory: softened edges, sunning along the spine, small chips and scuffs, andclipped corners on the front flap. The slipcase, too, bears the marks of time,but remains sturdy and protective.
Inside, the Locsins’ landmark study unfolds with clarity.Their work traces the movement of ceramics across seas and centuries, revealingthe Philippines as a crossroads of trade, artistry, and cultural exchange. Thespine leans and loosens slightly from use, and light foxing dusts the edges,but the pages themselves remain clean and bright — a testament to the book’scontinued relevance.
This is a working scholar’s copy, complete and honest,carrying the weight of a foundational text in Southeast Asian archaeology andceramic history.
A strong fit for collectors, archaeologists, ceramicscholars, and readers interested in Philippine history, maritime trade, andAsian material culture.
