Handsomely bound in maroon cloth boards with gold characters to front and lettering to spine. Book shows very little sign of wear, just some light foxing to top edges. Slight pencil annotations to flyleaf, otherwise unmarked. Dust jacket intact and protected by a plastic cover, light foxing to front and back more pronounced towards the top edges. Minor tears to bottom spine of jacket and small piece missing from top spine of jacket. This is a translation of one of the standard works on Chinese pottery and porcelain, centred on Ching-te-chen but covering every kiln or kiln site in China known to the compilers. This is an indispensable source of information and inspiration for all who appreciate these beautiful objects. As well as descriptions of production techniques and styles, there are anecdotes, fables and tales about the place of Chinese pottery and porcelain in life and folklore.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
