About This Book

The volume pairs twenty-eight colour water‑colour reproductions of porcelain specimens in the Victoria and Albert Museum with concise descriptive text that highlights each object's form, decoration, technique, and provenance. Arranged by regional sections—Chinese, Japanese, Italian, French, German, and English—the commentary uses individual pieces to illustrate broader developments in materials, glazing, ornamentation, and the adoption of foreign motifs, including examples with later metal mounts. The writer explicitly avoids a complete history and instead emphasizes what makes each example noteworthy, using the coloured plates as visual documentation to support the observations.
