This review is from: Jades from China (Hardcover)
A wonderful book that gives a lot of information mostly on the very early pieces of Jade from the Neolithic period of which there are many examples of..The Qing period 1644-1911 are also shown but not as much as one would like to see...All of the Jade pieces are shown in full color photographs which helps to learn colors of Jade..Much history on each early Period and each Dynasty are given.. The book is written in English but much of it is also repeated in Chinese...
