Review by: MApgar
This was concerned with the ebb and flow of fascination with Chinese art
and antiquities in American culture. From being thought 'heathen,
quaint' or any number of adjectives, to the rare and pricey times where
it really was in vogue and all the blue bloods
competed for pieces. Book seemed to focus more so on pottery than
textiles or paper works, perhaps because that is what persons are more
familiar with (Ming vases, etc. from detective lore and movies).
