Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Identify Old Chinese Porcelain There is doubtless much valuable Chinese porcelain in this country and in America about which its owners know very little; and at a time when attention has been drawn to it by the high prices realised in London sale-rooms many people desire to know more about their possessions and the subject generally. It has seemed to me therefore that a cheap and simple book may be acceptable. This little work is not put forth in any sense as a finished history and description of Chinese porcelain, but is written solely to help the amateur to make a beginning in the study of the most interesting and difficult branch of Ceramic Art.
