Author Description

The 148 items illustrated in this catalogue are from the Andrew K. F. Lee collection, dating from the late 17th to early 20th century, representing a rich repertoire in monochromes and multi-coloured examples. A great number bear genuine reign marks from Emperors Kangxi to Xuantong and are important pieces for dating. Detailed entries substantiated with Chinese scholarship accompany all illustrations in which some are with panoramic rubbings to reveal the elaborate decorative designs.
