The author takes us from the T'ang dynast in ancient China to the golden age of porcelain in Europe and America. The development of the industry in eighteenth century Germany to the Art Nouveau and Art Deco style in modern times...with the major factories and known modelers and designers identified is part of this sweeping story. Illustrations include some objects never before photographed for publication.
A chapter on collecting as well as a glossary of terms and a guide to public collections all add to the usefulness of this concise work.
