Alfred Baur gave his collection to the foundation which bears his name shortly before he died. He began collecting in about 1907 and continued right up until his death, but little was known of the breadth and quality of his collection until the present catalogues were published. The individual catalogues present here are as follows: Chinese Ceramics volume one (with Korean and Thai wares), Geneva: 1968; Chinese Ceramics volume two (Ming porcelain, and other wares), Geneva: 1969; and Chinese Ceramics volume three (Monochrome-glazed porcelains of the Ch'ing dynasty), Geneva: 1972.
