An large (15+ kilograms) and impressive 3 volume catalogue of the important Topkapi Saray Museum collection of Chinese ceramics. Out of print and limited to an edition of 1500, of which this is number 684. This is certainly a must have publication for serious collectors of Chinese ceramics.

Used with signs of wear on the slipcases and dust jackets. The slip cases with wear and marks from use. The dust jackets show edge wear, scuffs and scratches, and are slightly faded on the spines. Overall, I would say good condition but not aesthetically perfect.
