Abstract: Presenting works of art from various genres, the authors of this catalogue probe the theme of mutual influences of different artistic traditions: works embodying Chinese forms and decoration were sought after in Europe; at the same time, certain popular European shapes and motifs were adopted by Chinese craftsmen seeking to please foreign customers. Porcelain, enamel, carved ivory and tortoise shell, lacquer, painted wall hangings, and silks illustrate this cultural cross-semination. -- Summary written by John W. Emerich, Bronze Horseman Literary Agency.
