It examines significant products such as floral and figure services, underglaze blue-and-white wares, crystalline glazes, and art faience, and explains factory marks, painters' signatures, and provenance issues important to collectors. Illustrated plates and tables of marks accompany chapters on periods, successors, and the factory's contemporary output to aid identification and appreciation.
