Description
The Ashmolean Museum has a collection of French porcelain which is remarkable both for several individual pieces from famous collections, and also for the way in which it demonstrates the development of porcelain in France, from the late-17th century onwards. The book illustrates and discusses in detail over 50 of the most attractive, rare and important pieces in the collection, from eight known factories, including Vincennes/Sevres, St Cloud, Chantilly, Mennecy and Villeroy.
