Abstract
THIS abridged edition of Mr. Hetherington's excellent volume on the early pottery and porcelain of the Chinese artist-craftsmen will be welcomed by all those students who were unable to purchase the large and profusely illustrated volume from which this has been condensed. The work of reduction and compression has been so skilfully carried out that there is little or no loss of matter that is absolutely relevant, and the work here presented will serve as an admirable introduction to a complete knowledge of the subject, and to the more important works to which all of us must turn for the completion of the story of Chinese ceramics, in all its fascinating and masterly developments.
The Early Ceramic Wares of China.
By A. L. Hetherington. Popular and abridged edition. Pp. 169 + 31 plates. (London: Ernest Benn, Ltd., 1924.) 12s. 6d. net.
