Great Britain: David & Charles, 1977. Hardcover. First Edition. Chinese Blue and White Porcelain. Ex-library with ex-library markings. Plastic protective covering. It was in the early fourteenth century that the Chinese began to decorate wares of pure high-fired porcelain with paintings in brilliantly coloured cobalt blue. The author traces the history of Chinese Blue and White up to the present day, and pays attention to the impact that the export trade had in Europe, North America and Southeast Asia.

He covers very fully the problems that students new to the field may experience, and in special appendices describes the actual manufacture of Blue and White and the significance and symbolic meaning of many of the designs with which it has been decorated.
