Product Description
Sir Percival David made one of the finest collections of Chinese ceramics outside Asia. It includes many items of imperial quality, with beautiful examples of extremely rare Ru and guan wares as well as the famous David vases. Their inscriptions date to 1351, making them an internationally acknowledged yardstick for the dating of Chinese blue and white porcelain. Here are 50 selected highlights, all illustrated with colour photographs taken especially for this publication. The accompanying text provides details and draws out the important features of each piece. The range and scope of the collection provide the material for a stunning overview and accessible introduction to Chinese ceramic art.

Chinese Ceramics
Two scholars of Chinese ceramics have written on the late Sir Percival David's priceless collection, newly housed in London's British Musuem. Highlights of the collection are documented in this easy to read, informative, beautifully illustrated and very reasonable publication.
