Hobson moves reign by reign, from Yung Lo and Hsüan Tê through Ch'êng Hua, Chia Ching and Wan Li, explaining the techniques of Ming porcelain and the work of the provincial factories, then turns to the Ch'ing period, with chapters on K'ang Hsi blue and white, polychrome and monochrome wares, Yung Chêng and Ch'ien Lung, European influences and nineteenth-century porcelain. Closing chapters on shapes, decoration and forgeries guide the collector. It is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
