Pages 129/ 130 cut out but still present, slight tear page 50, cup stain page 204. All plates present. Text in French and Japanese. A rare, scarce example in a good presentable condition. Lacking dust jacket, but still retaining its hardshell slip-case. Slip-case worn and split along the edges. The black paper-covered hardshell slipcase has a few scuffs, but generally clean, the tipped-on colour plate marked. Text in French and Japanese. The book was designed and produced in Japan and uses different colour Japanese handmade papers of heavy stock on which are mounted the colour plates. The subject of the book is 18th century French pottery with floral designs, in Swiss collections, with many pieces from the Musée d'art et d'histoire in Neuchâtel and Musee d'Histoire in Berne. All plates have minimal information about the provenance and date of the pieces. There are also many black & white illustrations reproducing patterns on pottery.
