The three volumes are in "as-new" condition comprising: Volume 1-Yuan and Ming Dynasties, Celadon Wares; Volume 2-Yuan and Ming Dynasty Porcelains; Volume 3-Qing Dynasty Porcelains. One of the authors (Regina Krahl) inscribed a note in Volume 1 on Page 1. The Topkapi Saray Museum collection of Chinese ceramics is one of the largest and most important worldwide. That said, very little of the collection has ever been published. The three volumes present a detailed review of Chinese porcelains made for export from the 13th century to the 19th century. It is the most extensively illustrated book on Chinese ceramics ever published and provides an unparalleled source for dating and studying Chinese ceramic design. The volumes are presented as a complete and definitive catalogue in which every piece is itemised. Each entry is accompanied by one or more monochrome illustrations, scaled in size according to importance, and many are also shown in color. The work contains 5,000 illustrations of which 200 are large-size color plates. The dust jackets and slipcases on all three volumes are in "fine" condition, with very little wear and rubbing. The volumes weigh more than 33 pounds, which means that shipping costs will be high.…
