An extraordinary blend of narrative history and memoir, by the author of the award-winning and bestselling international sensation, The Hare with Amber Eyes

In The White Road, artist Edmund de Waal gives us an intimate portrait of his lifelong obsession with porcelain, or "white gold." A potter who has been working with porcelain for more than forty years, de Waal describes how he set out on five journeys to places where porcelain was dreamed about, refined, collected, and coveted--and that would help him understand the clay's mysterious allure. From his studio in London, he begins by travelling to three "white hills"--sites in China, Germany, and England that are key to porcelain's creation. But his search eventually leads him around the globe and reveals more than a history of cups and figurines; rather, he is forced to confront some of the darkest moments of twentieth-century history.

Part memoir, part history, part detective story, The White Road chronicles a global obsession with alchemy, art, wealth, craft, and purity.

Cute Look, Mid-Shelf Build
Color: Black Woven Suede, Color: Black Woven Suede
This purse looks like it’s going to impress — that woven pattern gives off designer energy without the designer price. In reality, it’s more of a lightweight, occasional-use accessory than a daily driver. The suede-style material is soft and easy on the eyes, but it isn’t exactly robust. The structure feels thin, and the bag doesn’t have much internal organization. Think “carry the essentials to dinner,” not “load this up and hit a full day at the office.” The gold accent is cute, but again, decorative more than durable. For the price, it’s fine for a night out, a holiday party, or when you want something small and polished. But if you’re looking for longevity or any kind of everyday functionality, this stays firmly in the fashion-over-function category.

Worth the money
Color: Black Woven Suede
The quality of this purse is insane. It’s stitch so well and looks very high-end very much like it’s doppelgänger worth the money.
