Synopsis
Excerpt from Special Loan Exhibition of Rare Chinese Porcelains in Aid of Various Charities on View at the New Annex Galleries of Messrs. Duveen Brothers
A sort of vague mystery, a sense of something enchanted, surrounds beautiful objects of this class. They not only appeal to our aesthetic sense, but a host of conjectures arises as to how such marvels were produced, and, if they were made by Chinese artists of remote periods, cannot they be produced now? But such a proposition may be answered by the erudite, and to the point, that there are poree lains and porcelains, as there are paintings and paintings.
