4to - over 9¾. Book. 320 pp. Fine/fine. 546 photos, 100 in color. Gorgeous study of subject. Useful bibliography. The text was translated from the German by Ewald Osers. The authors discuss the manufacture and mercantile value of porcelain during the 18th century as well as the contemporary technology. Prof. Meister brings his great knowledge of Chinese and Japanese porcelain to one singularly important aspect of 18th century porcelain production, the influence of oriential porcelain in the development of European style. The authors also provide a general history of style with commentaries on the artists behind them. They also discuss important customers and patrons, collectors and collections, and, finally, literature about porcelain. This text is a splendid work, essential to all who collect porcelain. The book weighs 7 lbs. and may require shipping cost adjustment in accordance with weight.

Shipping terms
The shipping cost provided automatically by ABE assumes that the item is the size of an average hardcover book. Since our stock is comprised largely of material which is bigger and heavier, we will often need to request additional shipping charges as a result. We pride ourselves on always packing safely, with the actual materials and method of packing depending on the item(s), where it is going, and with whom we are shipping. We most frequently use the post office, but on some high value items, or upon request, we may use alternatively UPS or FedEx. With the postal service, to domestic destinations with lower value items and the automatically furnished ABE shipping quote, we will usually use Media Mail; on higher value items we are partial to Priority or Express Mail. We will always seek to comply with a customer's wishes if they are communicated to us. When we seek additional shipping charges, we pass along those charges at our cost -- we do not add for handling or materials generally.
