“There are two fundamental things to be considered in studying porcelain: (1) the body of which it consists or the paste, as it is called and, (2) the glaze, that is to say, the transparent vitreous or glassy substance with which the body or paste of the object, platter, cup, vase or whatever it may be, is coated.”
Everlein and Ramsdell’s work, in one volume, covers chinaware of all countries. It is a complete compendium for the collector, both for the novice and for the collector of long experience.
