Description:

"Gillette explores the impact of state involvement in Jungdezhen's porcelain production, particularly during the momentous 20th century. She considers how the Chinese government has consumed, invested in, taxed, and managed the ceramics industry, and the effects of state intervention on ceramists' lives, their local environment, and the nature of the goods they produce."--Page [4] of cover.
