Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illustrated Catalogue of a Remarkable Collection of Early Chinese Pottery, Porcelains and Bronze of the Han, T'ang, Sung, Yuan and Ming Dynasties: Including Many Mortuary Objects Which Rank in Archaelogical Importance With the Specimens Found in Egyptian Tombs, and Other Rare Objects Which Are of Uncommon Interest to Connoisseurs, Amateurs and Art Institution In this brief introductory, reference should Specially be made to the important Han and T'ang potteries which comprise large and small mortuary images and other figures, some Of which have been termed han-tanagras, owing to the remains of color pigments and earthy incrustation. The many striking examples to be noted here make us marvel at the art which those early potters exercised in their broadly idealized work. We see both force and truth in the rendering of man, animal and fowl alike; all have that peculiar decorative vigor which appeals to the keen student and collector. Time, too, has invested the glazes with mellow and iridescent tones; thus these early creations of simple clay have been converted into fitting treasures for cabinets and the desiderata Of museums the world over.
