Good readable/working copy.; The late seventeenth- and eighteenth-century porcelain made in China for export to Europe and later to the United States, sometimes referred to as "Chine de Commande", has a special charm: perhaps the charm of familiarity, for the early pieces of these wares so often served as models for European pottery and porcelain; and the later pieces attract by their combination of fine porcelain from China with shape or decoration from the West.
