Chinese, Corean and Japanese potteries : descriptive catalogue of loan exhibition of selected examples
A 1914 descriptive catalogue published by the Japan Society in New York, documenting a loan exhibition of selected Chinese, Korean and Japanese ceramics for an American audience. The photographs show glazed vases, bowls, dishes and jars arranged in glass and wooden display cases against plain backgrounds, lit evenly so the glazes and forms read clearly. A designer might take from them the restrained tonal palette of sepia photography and the sculptural silhouettes of East Asian vessel shapes.
