THE WALTERS COLLECTION was begun over forty 

 ears ago, and is well known to American and European col- 

 lectors of Oriental ceramics. It is classed by many as the 

 choicest private collection in the world, and while it is smaller 

 than the collection at Dresden, it is regarded by many experts as liner in qualitv. 

 Mr. Walters' s aim was the collection of beautiful and perfect specimens rather 

 than the merelv curious. It has been possible, therefore, to illustrate the entire 

 range of Oriental porcelain by the rare examples in this collection.
