Asian
& Japanese Ceramics
The popularity of Japanese ceramics in the West caused a vast and
delightful variety of wares to be made for export. Colorful Imari porcelain in deep blue,
orange-red, and gold, Fukagawa porcelain in imaginative designs, as well as the softly
colored Satsuma earthenwares, are the best known of the old Japanese exports, shown here
in hundreds of variations by skilled decorators.
Also presented are the exotic Sumida and Banko wares, relative newcomers to the field whose popularity has grown steadily over the last ten years. Makers' and decorators' marks, unusual shapes, design variations, and hard-to-find examples are all shown in 600 color photographs with identifying captions and concise text.

An excellent quick reference for the beginning collector as well as the advanced. How else
can all the related lexicography be retained without an easily portable volume such as
this? Just remember that the values given can vary significantly in reality due to quite
subtle variables.
