Contiene: Exhibition held on October 25, 1973-January 27, 1974. The rapport between China and Europe that, over some three hundred years, encouraged (in spite of innumerable barriers such as language, protocol and transportation) a responsive exchange of styles and techniques that deeply affected the tastes of the two cultures. Although the present emphasis is on European influence, the trade was no means one-sided: without the westerners' compulsive fascination for the material itself and its rarity, there might have been no China trade, and the history of European porcelain would have been very different.
