For over 30 years Ita J. Howe has helped build collections of early Chinese porcelain, emphasizing the Kangxi period (1662-1722} especially blue and white and the Wan Li period (1573-1619). Several pieces have found a home in museums.
“Porcelain slowly evolved in China and was finally achieved (depending on the definition used) at some point about 2,000 to 1,200 years ago, then slowly spread to other East Asian countries, and finally Europe and the rest of the world. Its manufacturing process is more demanding than that for earthenware and stoneware, the two other main types of pottery, and it has usually been regarded as the most prestigious type of pottery for its delicacy, strength, and its white colour. It combines well with both glazes and paint, and can be modeled very well, allowing a huge range of decorative treatments in tablewares, vessels and figurines.

An expanded inventory of the home gallery shows many display ideas. A nice collection of Kangxi silver mounted pieces, and several Kangxi mark and period pieces are available.
Having exhibited at major antique shows, such as Boston, Washington, Houston, and the New York Ceramics Fair, she now welcomes collectors to her gallery in Bethlehem, Pa. and at the prestigious Delaware Antiques Show.”
