"The RA collection of Chinese ceramics. A collector's vision" by Maria Antónia Pinto de Matos, a museum director and distinguished specialist, also contains much new research into the entire subject of Chinese export porcelain. Published by Jorge Welsh Books, this limited edition three-volume boxed set is a work of art in its own right. The RA Collection has been assembled over the past 30 years by a sharpeyed connoisseur who has combined a passion for Chinese export porcelain with a rigorous insistence on quality, beauty, rarity and historical relevance.
