Blue and White: Chinese Porcelain Around the World Hardcover – October 1, 2000

This is a beautiful book, and the cover alone draws in us blue-and-white fanatics of the world. It is an important book as well, in the world of learning about, collecting, and appreciating our favorite china. We need all the help we can get (!), and this book should be the first one we buy to start a library on the subject.I would recommend it to anyone whose dreams -- and shelves -- are filled with blue and white.

I read this book, cover to cover back in the mid 1980's. I even made notes, which I can no longer find.In doing research on the history of porcelain, this book tops my list for Blue& White. For years I have not been able to track it down, but now I see it advertised in Victoria Magazine ! I feel as though I have found an old friend...who has now become famous...Voila!Jacquelyn G

A lot of new technical and historical detail from current research. Including the "albers effect" in design and influences from other asian countries on the chinese product.

It's a Christmas gift for my daughter-in-law who's a collector. It'sa beautiful book. I know that she's going to love it!!

Love it. Good background information
