In a Handbook of Ancient Chinese Porcelain, prepared A. D. 1765 by Tang Ping Chun, in obedience to the commands of His Imperial Majesty Chien Lung, is found a sketch of the origin and history of the manufactures of porcelain of which the following is a translation: Porcelain and pottery were produced from the most ancient times and did not originate with Yu Ti (B.
