Built around twenty-eight water-colour drawings by William Gibb of pieces in the Victoria and Albert Museum, this survey covers Chinese, Japanese, Italian, French, German and English porcelain. The text explains each tradition and factory, from Chinese export wares to Capodimonte and its move to the Buen Retiro palace in Madrid.
