In addition to the Bowles Collection, the museum owns porcelain from other manufacturers and periods, including pieces of Chinese Export porcelain and works created at the Meissen and Nymphenburg factories. If you are a porcelain connoisseur, this exhibit is truly a must-see; if you can't make it to San Francisco, you can conveniently view the collection online.
