What reading level is How to Identify Old Chinese Porcelain book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Cups, saucers, and bowls with backgrounds of black, washed over with green enamel, are noticeable, not only for the bright green which forms so large a part in the decoration, but also by a brilliant shade of pink which is used in the flowers. This " black-green " porcelain is greatly in evidence in our National and other fine collections, but is not often met with in smaller ones. It is very valuable, and much sought after. Some of the finest pieces are ornamented with figures of the Eight Imm...or- tals, Si Wang Mu, and others, mystics, also with landscapes, birds (including the cock), beetles, and other insects, and the flower designs are treated both naturally and as run- ning borders. Some pieces are decorated 94 OLD CHINESE PORCELAIN entirely in white on the black background ; these are even rarer than those decorated in colours, and they are often covered with a design of white prunus blossoms and branches, or with chrysanthemums.
Speciniens of " Famille verte," including " three-" and " five "-colour pieces, date back to the middle of the Ming dynasty ; they may be known by the rougher potting and by their less finished appearance, as well as by the blue being always under the glaze.
