Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of the Macomber Collection of Chinese Pottery With regard _to pottery, it is evident that the Chinese artists, while thorough masters of the superior kaolin at their command, have for many centuries deliberately chosen to essay combinations of crushed gray felspathic stone and heterogeneous materials in preference to pure white kaolin and the felspath po'tun, and have by this means achieved superlative effects, especially in their monochromes and variegated glazing.
