The dust jacket says: “Ceramics made in Japan for export in the 19th and early 20th centuries, are fascinating to collect today. Famous Imari, Kutani, Satsuma, Sumida and other wares possess an almost endless variety of shapes and diversity of decorations. In fact it is rare to find two pieces matching. These hard and soft porcelain and earthenware forms are grouped here by their uses and compared by their many shapes, sizes, and decorations. From tea vessels to flower vases and table ornaments, these masterpieces provide beautiful interior design accents and historical connections between Asian and Western cultures. Important decorators are identified and their unusually fine craftsmanship is displayed in detail in over 600 color photographs.
