Porcelain: A History from the Heart of Europe

Marchand has taken what seems like a small subject--porcelain--and created a world! With beautiful prose and diamond-cutter insight, she brings us from the days of dynastic mercantile production through the industrial revolution and into modern economies, with their branding and marketing schemes and changing aesthetics. In Marchand's hands, the manufacture of porcelain in Germany becomes a metaphor for a much larger history of how premondern economies and craft survive in a modern world. Brilliant.
