This review is from: China to Order: Focusing on the XIXth Century and Surveying Polychrome Export Porcelain Produced During the Qing Dynasty, 1644-1908 (Hardcover)

It is supposedly "Surveying Polychrome Export Porcelain"...from the justjacket. However it is not a SURVEY, as it ONLY touches on one aspect
of the field - porcelains to the West and only from Jingdexhen, and not the many other good kilns.
