Fourteenth-Century Blue-and-White: A Group of Chinese Porcelains in the Topkapu Sarayi Muzesi, Istanbul
Washington DC: Freer Gallery of Art, 1970. Paperback. 85p., 40 black and white plates; very good paperback. Freer Gallery of Art Occasional Papers for the Smithsonian Institute, Vol. 2, Number 1.
Revised from the 1952 edition. "The theories advanced 17 years ago about the distinguishing characteristics of Chinese porcelain decorated in underglaze blue in the 14th century have for the most part stood up. None of the basic criteria has proved to be wrong; and the only real change in our outlook lies in the fact that new material has come to light and that we now begin to know more than we did then about blue and white porcelains earlier than those described in this book...."
