The Parish-Watson collection of Mohammadan potteries
A 1922 New York catalogue by E. Weyhe, issued for Parish-Watson & Co. and written by R. Meyer Riefstahl, documents the Parish-Watson collection of Islamic pottery for collectors and scholars of ceramics. The pictures are plain black-and-white and colour plates of lustre vases and bowls, shot against black or red grounds. A designer could draw on their dense bands of animal and floral ornament, figural medallions and glazed surfaces.
