Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Pottery and Porcelain Factories of China: Their Geographical Distribution and Periods of Activity
As a convenient supplement to the map the names of the factories have been printed in alphabetical order, arranged firstly according to provinces, and secondly accord ing to dynasties. In this latter list the names of the centres active in more than one of the three groups of dynasties, are repeated in their appropriate place. Names of towns in China have been changed very often during different dynasties. In the map and lists the names commonly associated with ceramics only have been shown. A collector knows a ware by the name of the town or district which produced it, and wishes to find where that centre is or was located regardless of what it is called at the present day.
