Chinese Pottery and StonewareThis book has been written for the many people now collecting Chinese ceramics to a greater or lesser degreee. It has always seemed to me that if somebody loves these Chinese objects enough to assemble around him or her even only a dozen or so of supposedly genuine specimen, it should be possible for that collector to find some help and guidance in the proper classification and also to have an opportunity to read of the development of the Chinese styles. Connected with this, a certain amount of Chinese habits and mythology must be known to bring about the full appreciation of the objects produced under their influence.--pg. XIII. |
