A history and description of Chinese porcelain
A history and description of Chinese porcelain is a 1901 survey of Chinese ceramics by the art writer W. Cosmo Monkhouse, published by Cassell and Company in London, New York and Melbourne for readers of decorative art and collectors. Its pictures are plain photographic plates and a few painted studies of vases shown upright against dark or pale grounds, with blue-and-white figure scenes, floral sprays and bird-and-blossom panels that suggest restrained period ornament for a designer's repeat patterns and border motifs.
