Porcelain imported from China was the most highly coveted new medium in sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century Europe. Its pure white color, translucency, and durability, as well as the delicacy of decoration, were impossible to achieve in European earthenware and stoneware. In response, European ceramic factories set out to discover the process of producing porcelain in the Chinese manner, with significant artistic, technical, and commercial ramifications for Britain and the Continent. Indeed, not only artisans, but kings, noble patrons, and entrepreneurs all joined in the quest, hoping to gain both prestige and profit from the enterprises they established. This beautifully illustrated volume showcases ninety works that span the late sixteenth to the mid-nineteenth century and reflect the major currents of European porcelain production. Each work is illustrated with glorious new photography, accompanied by analysis and interpretation by one of the leading experts in European decorative arts. Among the wide range of porcelains selected are rare blue-and-white wares and figures from Italy, superb examples from the Meissen factory in Germany and the Sèvres factory in France, and ceramics produced by leading British eighteenth-century artisans. Taken together, they reveal why the Metropolitan Museum’s holdings in this field are among the finest in the world. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Verdana}

Excerpt from Chelsea and Chelsea-Derby China As with so many other of the books of this series on old porcelains, I am greatly indebted to writers who have been before me in the consideration of the subject. The best modern books which deal, inter alia, with old Chelsea chinaware are, it seems to me, the catalogues by Lady Charlotte and Mr. Charles Schreiber, Professor Church, and Mr. R. L. Hobson; the latter author's work, "Porcelain of all Countries"; the volumes on ceramics by Mr. Moore Binns, Mr. Burton, Mr. Solon; and Mr. Bemrose's book, "Bow, Chelsea and Derby Porcelain." There are, of course, many other and earlier authoritative books, but the research they contain has become common knowledge with the passage of time, and in some cases modern scientific inquiry has altered their conclusions.
