What reading level is How to Collect Continental China book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When, in 1793, Duke Carl died, the factory, which had been his special care, soon began to languish, although his successor, Frederick, was by no means indifferent to its prosperity; after 187 CONTINENTAL PORCELAIN appointing a commission of inquiry he took the administration into his own hands, and imported two Frenchmen to carry on the management, namely, Denis- Vincent David of Paris and Seorges Walcher, a painter of S&vres ; but notwithstanding their efforts, they failed to resuscitate the ...artistic skill of the factory. The director David was indeed instrumental in improving the whiteness of the body of the paste by the introduction of clay from Limoges, but the prevailing classic style appears to have been distinctly unfavourable to artistic results. After the death of the King, in 1816, it was soon evident that the factory had lost its vitality, and it shared the fate of others, namely, of being let on a lease and finally closed in 1824 (PL XXXI).
Marks The marks of this factory were various; the earlier mark appears to have been the letter L or the arms of Wilrtemberg, three stag's horns.
