Description
"The Victoria and Albert Museum houses one of the world's finest collections of Chinese jades, ranging from the neolithic era to the nineteenth century. More than half the collection was acquired before 1910 - well before sophisticated fakes appeared on the market, so the authenticity of the jades is assured. The author illustrates for the first time many exceptional pieces, drawing on the latest archaeological data as well as ancient Chinese sources to place the jades in their proper context, and readers will find the chapter on fakes and imitations both intriguing and illuminating."--BOOK JACKET.
