This book is a collection of papers bearing only on the ceramics found in the Witte Leeuw. The ceramics of the Witte Leeuw include porcelain and pottery as well. Much of the porcelain is of the well-known kraakporcelain type, and the pottery consists mainly of a number of rather simple martavans. Both types of ceramics have been the subject of special study. Moreover, there are small wine-cups of eggshell thinness, several types of typical Chinese ware, mostly bowls and cups, Swatow plates of various types, kendi etc. Several of the above types have thus far practically been unknown." excerpt from the introduction by H.A. van Oort, Professor in the Art History of East Asia at the University of Amsterdam.
