Description from the seller

Fantastic opportunity to acquire one of the most emblematic books ever written on the Chinese arts of export to Europe.

1st Edition of the work "Chinese Armorial Porcelain", written by David Sanctuary Howard in 1974.

Highly illustrated and cataloged, a true guide full of knowledge.

It is in very good condition, it is missing its dust jacket, and it presents a small tear on the hardcover, which in no way affects the structure.

It weighs 4 kg.

Seller's Story

Antiques are my great passion; all the items I have on auction were found at antique fairs and antique shops mainly from the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal, a country with a centuries-old history and many fabulous pieces and objects from this long journey, which I present here for auction. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original, and obviously beautiful. Guarantee of quality and great care in the shipping of the items. Thank you.
