Chinese Export Porcelain, Standard Patterns and Forms, 1780-1880 [Schiffer, Herbert Peter and Nancy] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Chinese Export Porcelain, Standard Patterns and Forms, 1780-1880 Review: Excellent item arrived right on schedule! - Excellent item arrived right on schedule! Review: Excellent Source for Fitzhugh & Rose Medallion Wares - I have to say that for my appraisal library that Schiffer publications are some of my favorites. This one actually by Herbert Peter and Nancy Schiffer is an excellent source of information. Beautifully done with easy to read text and loaded with b/w photos and a smallish section of color images. The writings are smooth and though done with a scholars hand never come off as pretentious or diffucult to understand. I wouldn't recommend this to someone if they were looking for lengthy text about the social, geographic or dynasty history of 18th -19th century China. Its a good guide for those who need relevant information and need it now. Highly recommended for the beginner as well as the more advanced collector or dealer.

Know your chinese export porcelain.
This book is the "bible" for people wanting to learn about chinese export porcelain or identify specific items. it exhibits many if not most of the types and styles of porcelain exported from China for the European and American markets during the late 18th, and 19th centuries. I grew up with parents who were collectors and still managed to learn things from the information in this book. Strongly recommend!

A poor volume based on written content and reproductions
I concur with Cote’s previous review of 2007. It is truly amazing that this poorly illustrated and written volume is still in circulation.

Dieses Buch wird öfters mal für seine Schwarzweißfotos kritisiert, und tatsächlich wirkt es heute ein wenig zusammengebastelt wie eine alte Schülerzeitung. Aber: 1975, als es zuerst erschien, waren durchgehend farbige Bildbände noch nicht üblich und vermutlich unbezahlbar. Bis zum Erscheinen eines farbigen Werkes füllt dieses Buch eine echte Lücke: Hier werden eben nicht die teuren Porzellane behandelt, die kaum jemand sich leisten kann, sondern die Massenware aus dem 19. Jahrhundert, die noch heute Ebay und andere Märkte überschwemmt. Das Buch beschränkt sich weise auf die Dekors Rose Medallion, Canton, Nanking und Fitzhugh und zeigt eine Unmenge verschiedener Formen und Artikel. Dabei werden nicht nur die besten Qualitäten abgebildet, sondern auch mittlere und schlechte, was ich persönlich sehr nützlich finde. Klar, in Farbe wäre es noch schöner, aber es ist auch so ein wichtiges Nachschlagewerk. Klare Empfehlung an alle, die sich für Export-Porzellan interessieren!
