Berlin: Henschelverlag, 1990. Hardcover. VG- (Some scuffs to slipcase, otherwise book is clean.). Off-white stamped cloth, black & pictorial dust jacket, 212 pp. 175 color plates, held in midnight blue board slipcase. Based on "the Zwinger Museum's incomparable Dresden collection. Here more than 20,000 pieces of porcelain are housed, including the 10,000 items that form by far the largest collection of Early Meissen. This volume is the first to display this priceles treasure in all its fullness and beauty. Represented here, more extensively than ever before, are the most valuable and important pieces of the eighteenth century and the entire range of the Meissen manufactory, from the early Bottger masterpieces to the celadon and Japanese porcelain and the porcelain of Horoldt. Here, too, are the lifelike animal figures; the porcelain busts, statues, and religious groups sculpted by Kirchner and Kandler; the splendid table services; and, finally, the coffee and tea services which exhibit the great variety of styles demanded by eighteenth-century taste." (dj) And much more. Lavishly illustrated in full color. Nice!
