A true collector wants to know the what, when, why and where of the things he or she collects and as a result is also collecting history. This book is an attempt to not only cover the history of Nippon items but also to help collectors refine their collecting skills so that fewer mistakes are made. Thousands of items are featured from sugar bowls to palace urns as well as old catalogue advertisements.
