Excerpt from Catalogue of Antique Chinese Porcelains Individual pieces of rose-colored porcelain may be seen in the European collections, but the famille rose representation in the Garland cabinet is the best. In the Dresden Museum collection the famille verte va riety of decorated porcelain excels the examples shown in the Garland collection. In the precious eggshell porcelains there are nearly one hundred specimens in the Garland cabinets. This array of decorated plates, vases, and lanterns is beyond question the finest in the world. The Garland collection, in the estimation of students of the decorated porcelain of China, has more points of excellence than any single public col leetion.
