What reading level is The Pleasures of Collecting book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
External beauty, too, seems to have been sought, rather than intrinsic thorough ex- cellence of fabrique, excepting, of course, the pro- ducts of the Persian looms and the works of the masters in metal.
As to Persian pottery, it has always been more or less of a puzzle to antiquarians. The ancient pieces in a perfect state of preservation are exceedingly few and rare, and all have been recovered from ruined areas.
There yet remain vast areas to be excavated [234] ANTIQUES OF PERSIA AND OF INDIA... by enterprising antiquarian expeditions and later efforts are sure to be productive.
The ancient lustre faience dates back many cen- turies. Its genre was carried down as late as 1586. The finest Persian ware resembles Chinese porcelain somewhat, having a white ground with a2ure-blue decoration in bold, free designs. The paste is hard and the color is not blended with the glaze. Later specimens of this genre have less good design, blend- ing color, and a glaze showing greater vitrification.
A second sort of Persian faience is thicker, shows a departure from Chinese influence somewhat, has a softer and more porous paste, is brighter in the blue, has a less even glaze, and a less well-drawn design.
