Description:

Illustrated with 24 color plates. 38x26½ cm (15x10¼") brick cloth lettered in black, jacket. First Edition.

From the series Porcelain of the National Palace Museum. The series began in 1961 and contemplated 20 volumes. Because relatively few fine pieces of these wares have survived, the specimens that have been preserved in the National Palace Museum, as well as in the National Central Museum, constitute a unique collection. Many of the plates in these volumes reflect the original colors and the original sizes. Many of the bases are also illustrated.

Pieces of jacket lacking from spine ends and lower half of rear panel, else very good in fair jacket.
