In the 2012 issue of Ceramics in America Douglas Ross has contributed an article on Japanese porcelain based on his work at Don Island, British Columbia. I found this very interesting because I know very little about the topic, and only know of one time where I found porcelain I knew was made in Japan - and that's because it said so, right there on the base. (interestingly, in context with German porcelain in a cistern filled in when the Army cleared the adjacent building for use in 1941). So to see numerous real world (ie, non-museum) examples clearly illustratedand well described is great - a welcome and useful introduction to the topic. This is yet another valuable contribution by Ceramics in America. Thanks Rob Hunter, Chipstone, and Douglas Ross.
