One of the first scholarly attempts to engage with the cultural meanings of porcelain, this collection offers new interpretative frameworks for the study of eighteenth-century porcelain. Contributors analyze the aesthetics of porcelain, particularly the way its qualities reinforce the social processes within which porcelain objects were viewed, collected, and used. The collection covers a broad geographic scope, encompassing not only Europe but also China, North Africa, America, and Japan.
