- Summary:
- To many, this second volume of Chinese Armorial Porcelain will provide the moment when the identity of a piece of porcelain is revealed. While the book, with its considerable index of mottoes and cross-references to both volumes, will fulfil that need, in his foreword Garter King of Arms concludes 'Unlike so many works on an esoteric subject, this has the aesthetic combined with the heraldic and genealogical to ensure a wider base of popular support--from the connoisseur to the armorist and from the collector of works of art to the social historian.' -- Front book jacket flap.
