160 pp. "...surveys the history of changing fashions and the varying fortunes experienced by the porcelain factories, conveying a clear idea of why different wares were produced, and why certain pieces are so rare and valuable today, while others are relatively common. Advice is given throughout the book on all aspects of collecting; clues to identification; helpful tips on cleaning, damage and restoration; avoiding the pitfalls of fakes and reproductions; and information on collecting pieces which still seem undervalued (the author includes details of prices which individual pieces have made at recent Phillips auctions)."--jacket
