This volume includes articles on the "Etruscan" style at Sèvres; commedia dell'arte figures of Spaghetti Eaters, from the Capodimonte and Buen Retiro factories; and Meissen and Mennecy porcelain. The volume, featuring essays in honor of Clare Le Corbeiller, results from a spontaneous desire on the part of many at The Museum upon her retirement, after having served forty-one years in the European Sculpture and Decorative Arts department. Other articles occupy such diverse topics such as tapestry, furniture, a drawing by Canaletto, and a sixteenth-century Chinese box.

256 pages, 251 illustrations (7 in full color), 8 1/2 in. x 11 in. Paper.
