Published in conjunction with the first exhibition to focus on the Percival David Foundation's seventeenth and eighteenth-century porcelains, this book presents remarkable examples of rare Chinese imperial porcelains, porcelain made for and appreciated by Chinese royalty, rather than the more familiar porcelain made for export to the West. With lavish illustrations of over sixty-five pieces from the collection, the catalogue provides a wonderful overview of the Chinese tradition of art connoisseurship during the last period of dynastic rule.
