This is the rare large hardcover book: Chinese Porcelains from the Ardebil Shrine, by John Alexander Pope. The collection contains many examples of blue-and-white painted wares of the Yuan and Ming dating from the fourteenth to the sixteenth centuries, and also includes monochrome-glazed and polychrome-enameled wares and a group of Lungchuan celadon. Now housed at the Archaeological Museum in Teheran, this important collection of early Chinese porcelain was brought together by Shah Abbas the Great and presented to the dynastic shrine of Ardebil in 1611. Dr Pope's text provides a detailed account of the history and contents of the collection with a full account of its formation and fortunes, and also looks in detail at the chief problems confronting the historian of Ming porcelain as a whole.
