| Summary | "Porcelain" by Edward Dillon is a comprehensive study of porcelain ceramics written in the early 20th century. The work seeks to explore the historical and technical aspects of porcelain, particularly focusing on its production in China, Japan, and Europe. It aims to differentiate the various types and characteristics of porcelain, analyzing both its artistic merits and its chemical and physical properties. The opening of the book sets the stage for a detailed examination of porcelain by discussing its historical development and significance, particularly in relation to royal patronage in both Eastern and Western traditions. Dillon explains the process of porcelain making, highlighting the distinct materials and techniques involved, including the critical importance of kaolin and petuntse in achieving true porcelain. The author emphasizes the need for technical knowledge to properly appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship that go into porcelain production, suggesting that understanding the medium fundamentally shapes the discussion of its aesthetic value.
