The White Road by Edmund de Waal

In this follow-up to "The Hare with Amber Eyes," the potter and writer Edmund de Waal traces his lifelong obsession with porcelain, the "white gold" once as precious as silver. His journey starts in Jingdezhen, China, where porcelain began. It then leads to Venice, Versailles, Dresden, the hills of Cornwall and South Carolina, and Dachau. Along the way he tells the stories of the people who made, traded and coveted porcelain. The book is part history, part memoir and part meditation on craft.
