Catalogue des anciennes Faiences persanes, damas, rhodes et koubatcha : composant la collection T.B.Whitney

Imprimerie Georges Petit, Freer, Charles Lang, 1854-1919, former owner. DSI-F · 1910 · Paris : Imprimerie Georges Petit · 18 pictures

This 1910 Paris catalogue from the Imprimerie Georges Petit records the collection of T. B. Whitney, formerly owned by Charles Lang Freer, and lists ancient Persian, Damascus, Rhodian and Kubachi pottery. Its plates show dishes photographed in rows of six on cream paper, with numbered captions beneath each piece. A designer could draw on their dense, repeating border bands, central medallions of flowers and animals, and blue-and-white or polychrome glaze patterns.

Whitney, T. B
