The hollow line is the author's discovery and terminology for an outstanding peculiarity of underglaze blue that is seen with increasing frequency during the late 19th and early 20th century. The question arises: If a good quality porcelain with a 17th century reign mark has hollow lines, how should the piece be dated? This volume is an introduction to a larger and more comprehensive comparision of prototypes and later products in the forthcoming book Dating Chinese Ceramics. This presentation is not a interpretation of porcelain characteristics but is a record of the observations through many years of Calvin Chou. Illustrated specimens come from museums and private collections in the Far East, United States and Europe. Very Good/Dust Jacket Included.
