Issued in conjunction with several 1976-1978 exhibitions "of Japanese blue and white export porcelains. ... Of special interest as it permits comparisons between blue and white wares of similar design from the Orient and Europe, and calls attention to the vital function of the European maritime nations, particularly Portugal and Holland, in the transmission of aesthetic concepts between East and West."
