520 _a"A Book of Porcelain: Fine Examples in the Victoria & Albert Museum" by Bernard Rackham is a comprehensive and visually rich guide to porcelain art, written in the early 20th century. This work focuses on notable porcelain pieces housed in the Victoria and Albert Museum and aims to share the aesthetic and historical significance of selected examples from various cultures, emphasizing the evolution of porcelain craftsmanship. The opening of the book introduces the reader to the allure and artistic journey of porcelain appreciation, particularly for Western collectors. Rackham outlines the typical stages of growth in understanding and valuing porcelain—beginning with appreciation for local wares, progressing to admire Eastern porcelain, especially Chinese, and culminating in a broad and inclusive appreciation of all significant ceramic works. The initial chapters set the stage for an insightful exploration into Chinese porcelain, providing a foundation for subsequent discussions on Japanese, Italian, French, and German porcelain. Through a blend of elegantly captured illustrations and engaging text, Rackham invites readers to explore the intricate world of decorative ceramics, reflecting a rich heritage of artistry.
