School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, 2004 Book. Good. Soft cover. English text.; Paperback.; 19 x 24.5 cm; 0.4 kg; 119 pages with mainly black and white and a few colour illustrations,; Used with signs of wear, namely a small tear on the rear. Overall in good condition.; "The original text for this section of the Catalogue was prepared by Margaret Medley (1918-2000) when she was the second Curator of the Foundation. Her original text was for many years the standard reference on the subject of blue and white porcelain. This text was later revised in 1976, after Sir Percival's death and after some duplicate pieces were sold to help support the activities of the Foundation. Much has therefore changed in the field of Chinese ceramics and at the Foundation since the publication of the early editions of this Section and a new Introduction has been included in this Revised Edition." excerpt from the preface by Stacey Pierson, April 2004..
