Cheng Te-k’un — The Study of Ceramic Wares in Southeast Asia A highly regarded scholarly reference work on early ceramic production and exchange networks in Southeast Asia, written by the influential sinologist and archaeologist Cheng Te-k’un.

The study spans a wide historical range, covering material associated with the Tang, Song, Yuan, and early Ming dynasties, as well as medieval Southeast Asian ceramic centres. Originally published as an academic study, this book is widely cited in museum, university, and specialist ceramic research contexts. It remains an important reference for scholars, collectors, and curators interested in Asian ceramics, maritime trade routes, and cultural exchange.
