Catalogue of the Avery collection of ancient Chinese cloisonnés
A museum catalogue published in Brooklyn, New York in 1912 by the Brooklyn Museum, with text by John Getz and W. H. Goodyear, documenting the Avery collection of ancient Chinese cloisonné vessels for collectors and scholars of Asian decorative arts. The plates are black-and-white photographs of vases and ritual bronze-form vessels, with their surfaces of dense scrolling, cloud, and lotus patterns and their faceted or flared silhouettes offering designers a catalogue of historical ornament and vessel shapes.
