Rezensionen

"Meha Priyadarshini's Chinese Porcelain in Colonial Mexico is structured as a spatial-commercial journey, presenting a 'typical biography' ... of the world's first 'global brand' (to use Craig Clunas's oft-cited phrase). ... Priyadarshini offers a number of microhistorical anecdotes and interpretations, which are one of the book's great pleasures." (Byron Ellsworth Hamann, caareviews.org, October 28, 2020)

"This compact, beautifully written study addresses that neglect, examining every aspect of the trade in a way that makes it essential reading for those interested in art history, material culture, global trade, and the Spanish settlement of the Philippines and Mexico. ... An important aspect of this book is that, while it delves into the local-clearly illustrating its incorporation into the global, it also highlights disconnects in the chain of production, transportation, and consumption." (Heather Dalton, Parergon, Vol. 37 (2), 2020)
