Book Description
Excerpt from Chinese Porcelain, Vol. 1 In addition to the works quoted from, there are others in both this and the French language, many of which might have been used with advantage; but to have employed them would have extended the size of this little volume beyond the limit of a hand-book, which it has already somewhat exceeded. Mr. T. J. Larkin has been good enough to read through the proofs, and the notes he has kindly appended the reader will find add greatly to the value of the work. Thanks are also due to Mr. Arbuthnot, of Shanghai, for sundry Chinese books. In conclusion, it only remains to thank Mr. Charles H. Read for kindly consenting to this book being dedicated to the memory of his old friend Sir W ellaston Franks.

Book Description
Excerpt from Chinese Porcelain, Vol. 2 In the sixteenth century porcelain was so highly esteemed in Europe that many pieces were mounted in silver, and it is reasonable to suppose that the best specimens were selected for this honour. N ow, except, perhaps, where historical value attaches, as in the case of the Trenchard and Warham bowls, the mountings, as samples of early silver work, are of more value than the china they were originally designed to protect and ornament. The reason for this being that much finer porcelain has since come to hand; while to give value, artistic merit is necessary, as well as mere antiquity; and in the former qualification the Ming productions have been greatly distanced by the Tsing.

Book Description
Excerpt from Catalogue of Antique Chinese Porcelains Individual pieces of rose-colored porcelain may be seen in the European collections, but the famille rose representation in the Garland cabinet is the best. In the Dresden Museum collection the famille verte va riety of decorated porcelain excels the examples shown in the Garland collection. In the precious eggshell porcelains there are nearly one hundred specimens in the Garland cabinets. This array of decorated plates, vases, and lanterns is beyond question the finest in the world. The Garland collection, in the estimation of students of the decorated porcelain of China, has more points of excellence than any single public col leetion.
