A Book of Porcelain: Fine Examples in the Victoria Albert Museum (Classic Reprint) - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Excerpt from A Book of Porcelain: Fine Examples in the Victoria Albert Museum
The twenty-eight water-colour drawings reproduced in this volume have been made from specimens of porcelain in the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum, South Kensington, many of which have never been published before, while others have not hitherto been reproduced in colours. The selection has been made not merely of those pieces in their several classes which have a high sale-room value; due consideration has been given to those which by their aesthetic qualities appealed to the sympathies of the artist, while at the same time an effort has been made to include objects having some particular historical or personal interest, or important as documents in the history of ceramics. In this connection it should be explained that the drawings were made before Mr. George Salting's unrivalled collection of Oriental porcelain passed by his death into the hands of the nation.
The text does not pretend to be a general treatise on porcelain, or even an exhaustive summary of its history.
