Japanese and Oriental ceramics,
By Hazel H Gorham.
Description
Of the various art forms in Japan, pottery is one of the best illustrations of Japanese individuality. In contrast, the porcelains of Japan have stereotyped shapes and patterns. The two art forms together go far in sustaining Japan's reputation as the cultural melting pot of the Orient. This guide indicates how to distinguish Japanese porcelains from Chinese and how to recognize modern reproductions of genuine old wares. - from Amzon
