(1931-98) and his wife, Ann Walker Bell, documents the fascinating history of Chinese blue and white porcelain.

With the installation of the Bell Collection near the display of porcelain from Meissen - the first European factory to successfully manufacture "true" or hard-paste porcelain - the Gardiner Museum is now more fully able to present the story of porcelain in Europe.
