What books to recommend for Chinese Porcelain of the Qing Dynasty depends if you want to study the best that could be made (Imperial), what was made and exported to the West (Export Porcelain) or the popular wares that was made for export to the poorest of farmers and the working class all over Asia in particular from mid 19th century and later. All is technically 'Chinese porcelain' and most was in fact made in Jingdezhen. But there and then stops the similarities. A reliable and traditional classic is Soame Jenyns, Later Chinese Porcelain for the 'good' Chinese taste pieces. For export porcelain Jean McClure Mudge, Chinese Export Porcelain in North America or Geoffery A Godden, Oriental Export Market Porcelain and its influence on European Wares might be good starting points. They won't hurt to have anyway. For the best of the best, search for anything with 'David Howard' as the or at least among the authors. Finally the best overall book there is on Chinese ceramics is in my view He Li, Chinese Ceramics which covers everything, including the Qing Dynasty. That is a good one too that you will never regret buying. As a general rule, you should spend at least 10 percent out of the amount you plan to spend on porcelain, on books. And ideally you should always buy the books first. After ten years, please send me the amount of money you feel you have saved by following this one advice and I'll become a rich man.
