Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chinese and Japanese Porcelains and Potteries, Far Eastern and European Objects of Art: The Collection of the Late Thomas Allen, Boston, Mass;, Former President of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts; To Be Sold by Order of His Son Mr. Thomas Allen, Jr., Executor Things Japanese are nowadays such a familiar story, that it is hard to realize that it is only about seventy years - the span of a man's life - since Admiral Perry sailed into Uraga Bay to open to the world unknown Japan. Not until ten years had passed was Japan safe for the foreigner. It took another decade or so for Paris to discover Japanese art. Forty-odd years ago, when Mr. Allen was a young artist in Paris, interest was high in the art of J apan - the screens, the lacquer work, the cunningly wrought sword mounts, the delicately carved ivories, the porcelains and potteries, the Japanese color prints, so despised in the country of their origin that they had first come to Paris, not as works of art, but as waste-paper used for wrapping porcelains.

Download or read book Mounted Oriental Porcelain in the J. Paul Getty Museum written by F. J. B. Watson and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 1983-01-01 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since the Middle Ages it was the practice in Europe to mount exotic objects such as oriental porcelain in settings of precious or semiprecious metal as tribute to their rarity and value. In the seventeenth century, when Chinese and Japanese porcelains began to reach the West in considerable quantities, the practice continued, especially in France. With the opening of the eighteenth century, it became increasingly fashionable in Parisian society to decorate the interiors of houses with Far Eastern materials such as lacquer and mounted porcelain. This taste was catered to by the marchands-merciers, members of a guild who combined the functions of the modern interior decorator, the antique dealer, and the picture dealer. These men devised highly ingenious settings for Far Eastern porcelains to adapt their exotic character to the French interiors of the period. At first these were of silver (occasionally even gold); later, during the Rococo period when gilding was very lavishly used for the decoration of walls, furniture, light fittings, etc., gilt bronze was the material generally adopted. The marchands-merciers not only designed such mounts and employed some of the most skillful craftsmen of the day to execute them but also marketed them. The survival of the account book of one of their number, Lazare Duvaux, whose shop Au Chagrin de Turquie in the rue Saint Honoré was patronized by the most fashionable sections of Parisian society, has provided us with an immense amount of information about mounted oriental porcelain, its makers, its cost, who collected it, and so on. This information has been drawn on in cataloguing the Getty Museum’s collection of mounted oriental porcelain, which is unusually large and of exceptionally high quality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Copeland Collection of 134 Chinese and Japanese ceramic figures, perhaps the most important assemblage of its kind still in private hands, is recognized internationally for the superb quality of its many rare forms. Acquired by Mrs. Lammot du Pont Copeland over the past fifty years, each of these beautifully modeled human and animal figures testifies to the unerring eye of a premiere collector.The majority of these figures are of porcelain, produced during the late seventeenth to the late eighteenth centuries, principally for export to the West. Each individual piece displays the meticulous artistry, the marvelous enameling, and the animation and wit characteristic of this remarkably innovative period in ceramic history However modest in scale, many are important works of art.--Amazon.com.

Book excerpt: Japanese Imari porcelain, with its vivid red, blue and gold palette, reached Europe in the late seventeenth century and created a sensation among collectors accustomd to the more austere palette of blue-and-white Chinese wares. Soon Imari chargers and full garnitures graced the palaces and great houses of Europe and formed significant portions of the massive collections of Asian porcelains formed by many kings and princes. When high prices and increased competition from China caused imports of Imari to slow in the mid-eignteenth century, Imari continues to exert a strong influence on both the design and palette used to create porcelains at the newly established porcelain factories both in England and on the Continent.--pg. 6.
