Dish

Description

Dish
This dish, purchased from Dikran Kelekian in 1908, has a greenish-white crackled glaze, with large areas of partial disintegration and a brilliant silver iridescence. Its black and blue under glaze is similarly degraded. An example of Raqqa ware from thirteenth or fourteenth-century Syria, the complex chromatic variations resonated with the blue, green, and gold decorations of Whistler's Peacock Room.

Vase, in the "Venetian" style

Description

Vase
The Peacock Room, originally the dining room in the home of Frederick R. Leyland, was intended to showcase its owner's extensive collection of Chinese blue-and -white porcelain. Among his 300-plus pieces were examples similar to this vessel. Known as Kangxi ware, these pots were produced in the Jingdezhen region during the Kangxi reign (1662-1722). They became so popular with Victorian consumers that the press mockingly dubbed the craze "Chinamania." <p>When Charles Lang Freer purchased the Peacock Room in London in 1904, it had already been emptied of its blue-and-white porcelains. Freer, in any case, did not care for their slick surfaces and bright glazes. Beginning in the 1980s, the Freer Gallery of Art began to acquire blue-and-whites for display in the Peacock Room, in an effort to evoke the chromatic relationships and pictorial patterns that inspired Whistler and his contemporaries.

Description

Jug
Dated to the Parthian period of the first through third century BCE, this jug has a green, alkaline glaze that has degraded and even entirely worn off in some areas. Although it was badly damaged when Freer purchased it from Dikran Kelekian in 1905, he regarded the piece as "interesting," and in the Peacock Room he grouped it with other similarly time-ravaged examples of Mesopotamian pottery. He believed that the surfaces of these Near Eastern vessels resonated with the complex chromatic qualities of his American paintings, particularly those by James McNeill Whistler, Thomas Dewing, and Dwight Tryon.

Tea ceremony water jar

Description

Tea ceremony water jar (mizusashi)
Freer purchased this tea ceremony water jar, with a clear crackled glaze suffused with opalescent blue, in 1900 from the Fifth Avenue shop of Yamanka and Company. Although its origins were uncertain in Freer's day, it is now dated to the Momoyama period, in the early seventeenth. It shows a distinctly Korean influence: In the aftermath of Japan's two invasions of the Korean peninsula in the 1590s, sometimes known as the "Pottery Wars," hundreds of Korean potters were resettled within warrior domains in southern Japan. The kilns that they established became important sources of tea-ceremony ceramics and tablewares. Early southern wares like this reflect the shapes, glazes, and decorative techniques of their Korean prototypes.

Freer acquired this Ming dynasty porcelain jar as a gift from his colleague, Sir William Van Horne (1843-1915), who, like Freer, made his fortune in the railroad industry. (Born in Illinois, Van Horne established his professional career in British Columbia and is best known for overseeing the construction of the first Canadian transcontinental Railway. Like Freer, Van Horne was a regular customer of the Boston-based dealer Matsuki Bunkyo, from whom he may have purchased this blue and white jar. Originally, the vessel was probably produced as export ware, possibly for Southeast Asian markets.

This "interesting specimen," as Freer described it, was one of several Raqqa pieces that he purchased from Dikran Kelekian in 1905. The crackled, partially disintegrated turquoise glaze was particularly appealing to Freer, who discerned chromatic correspondences between ceramics like this and the contemporary American paintings that he collected.

"Interesting," noted Freer of this Parthian vessel. "Compare with similar specimens," he added in his inventory notes: And in the Peacock Room in Detroit, he put the suggestion into practice, placing this jar adjacent to four similar examples. Earthenware jars of this shape, typically covered with an alkaline glaze colored brown, green, or turquoise, are characteristic products from Mesopotamia during the Parthian period of the first through third century BCE. Freer acquired his Parthian wares from Dikran Kelekian, whose main gallery was located in Paris.

Vase

Description

Vase
"Splendid" was the way that Freer described this cobalt blue glazed vase decorated with a barely discernible incised floral design. He believed it to be an ancient Chinese vessel from the Han dynasty. The first director of the Freer Gallery of Art, John Lodge, was unconvinced: "Don't know what this is," he confessed in an undated note. Most recently, scholars of ceramics have speculated that this vase may have been the product of a late nineteenth-century European art pottery studio, though the gold-lacquer repair on the foot indicates that it may have passed through Japan at some point. In any event, it was the mottled, brilliant blue color-and not the historical origins of the piece-that most interested Freer. In the Peacock Room in Detroit, he displayed it to the right of <i>La Princesse du pays de la porcelaine</i>, surrounded by iridescent pieces of Raqqa ware.

Excavated in Syria and sold to Freer from the Paris gallery of Siegfried Bing in 1905, this flattened, short-necked bottle was described by the collector as "rare and very beautiful." The varied tones of discoloration on the surface and the abraded decoration, modeled in relief, were appealing to Freer, who discerned chromatic harmonies among his already-substantial collection of East Asian ceramics, his tonalist American paintings, and ravaged, but chromatically complex, vessels like this from the Near East. In Detroit, this bottle was prominently featured with a grouping of other Near Eastern wares, massed around Whistler's <i>La Princesse du pays de la porcelaine.</i>

Dated to the Ming dynasty, this bluish-black glazed jar is chromatically complex, with areas of lighter tone and an iridescent surface. When Freer purchased it in 1897 from Yamanaka and Company, it was thought to be Japanese. Freer noted that it was "beautiful," and, in his inventory notes, observed, "interesting when seen in individual case; also very impressive shown with specimens of both Chinese and Japanese Temmoku" (the highly regarded dark-glazed tea wares first made at kilns in Fujian province in China and brought to Japan in the thirteenth century by Japanese Buddhist monks). In the Peacock Room, this jar was not, however, shown individually, but was grouped with a number of similarly dark colored East Asian vessels as well as an array of Raqqa ware from the Near East.

The glaze and decoration on this Raqqa ware jar now dated to the twelfth or thirteenth century, is extremely discolored and the surface partially disintegrated. Its abraded greenish glaze, overpainted with luster in shades of brown and cobalt blue, were, however, the vessel's chief attraction for Freer. He described the jar "valuable" and "fine in color." In 1903, when he purchased this vessel from the Paris-based dealer Dikran Kelekian, Freer had only recently turned his attention to ancient and medieval glazed wares from the Near East. As the availability of Japanese art in Western markets began to decline, Kelekian, Siegfried Bing and other dealers looked to the arts of the Islamic world, where recent unofficial excavations had made ceramics and textiles available.

Description

Jar
According to the Paris-based dealer Dikran Kelekian, from whom Freer acquired it in 1903, this jar was excavated from a Persian tomb and was two thousand years old. Despite its advanced state of archaeological decay, the vessel, which is actually an example of Syrian Raqqa ware, dates to the medieval period&#151;the eleventh through the thirteenth century. For Freer, who had only begun to acquire Near Eastern ceramics in 1902, the iridescent, highly degraded turquoise glaze and the rough surface texture of this vessel was one of its chief attractions. He went on to amass a significant collection, many of which were prominently displayed in the Peacock Room in Detroit.

Jar
Described by Freer as "very beautiful," this jar was one of a number of Near Eastern ceramics and Egyptian antiquities shipped to him on approval by the Parisian art dealer Siegfried Bing. In 1904, when he purchased this vessel, Freer had only recently turned his attention to ancient and medieval glazed wares from the Near East. As the availability of Japanese art in Western markets began to decline, Bing and other dealers looked to the arts of the Islamic world, where recent unofficial excavations had made ceramics and textiles available. Raqqa ware was especially appealing to Freer, who discerned chromatic harmonies among his already-substantial collection of East Asian ceramics, his tonalist American paintings, and the iridescent turquoise- and green-glazed vessels from the Near East. He eventually amassed a substantial collection of Near Eastern ceramics. In Detroit, they were prominently featured throughout the Peacock Room, most notably massed around Whistler's <i>La Princesse du pays de la porcelaine</i> and in the eye-level shelves along the west wall.

As the availability of Japanese art in Western markets began to decline, Bing and other dealers looked to the arts of the Islamic world, where recent unofficial excavations had made ceramics and textiles available. Raqqa ware was especially appealing to Freer, who discerned chromatic harmonies among his already-substantial collection of East Asian ceramics, his tonalist American paintings, and the iridescent turquoise- and green-glazed vessels from the Near East. He eventually amassed a substantial collection of Near Eastern ceramics. In Detroit, they were prominently featured throughout the Peacock Room, most notably massed around Whistler's La Princesse du pays de la porcelaine and in the eye-level shelves along the west wall.

Description

Jar
Earthenware jars of this shape, typically covered with an alkaline glaze colored brown, green, or turquoise, are characteristic products from Mesopotamia during the Parthian period of the first through third century BCE. The qualities Freer most admired were the subtle colors, textured surfaces, and iridescent decay of the glaze, which he felt resonated with the complex chromatic qualities of his American paintings, particularly those by James McNeill Whistler, Thomas Dewing, and Dwight Tryon.

Description

Jar
This Japanese stoneware jar, with a mottled gray glaze and drips of purple overflow, was one of the earliest Asian ceramics acquired by Freer. He bought it in 1892 from the New York-based Japanese dealer Tozo Takayanagi, from whom he had also purchased, in the same year, a Japanese painted fan. Freer subsequently turned to Yamanka and Company, another purveyor of Japanese art located on Fifth Avenue, for many of his ceramics purchases. In 1892, however, Tozo seemed to be enjoying a particularly good year. The periodical <i>The Collector</i> noted in its August issue: "Mr. Tozo Takayanagi announces the removal of his Art Rooms to 160 Fifth Avenue. His collection is now especially rich in the finest possible specimens of Japanese bronze, shakudo, porcelain and the like, most of them of an especially valuable decorative character" (see "Forecasts of the Fall Season," <i>The Collector</i> 3:18 (Aug. 15, 1892): 275).

The Peacock Room, originally the dining room in the home of Frederick R. Leyland, was intended to showcase its owner's extensive collection of Chinese blue-and -white porcelain. Among his 300-plus pieces were examples similar to this vessel. Known as Kangxi ware, these pots were produced in the Jingdezhen region during the Kangxi reign (1662-1722). They became so popular with Victorian consumers that the press mockingly dubbed the craze "Chinamania." <p>When Charles Lang Freer purchased the Peacock Room in London in 1904, it had already been emptied of its blue-and-white porcelains. Freer, in any case, did not care for their slick surfaces and bright glazes. Beginning in the 1980s, the Freer Gallery of Art began to acquire blue-and-whites for display in the Peacock Room, in an effort to evoke the chromatic relationships and pictorial patterns that inspired Whistler and his contemporaries.

Description

Tomb jar
This tall slender tomb jar from the Southern Song dynasty is one of eight such elaborately decorated vessels that Freer displayed as pairs in the Peacock Room in Detroit. He purchased this example from the New York gallery of Yamanaka and Company, and he was told that it and other "specimens of this kind" had been "recovered from ancient Buddhist tombs" in Korea. While that was probably true, this particular jar is now known to be Chinese in origin and to date to the thirteenth century. Originally an accoutrement of burial in China as well as Korea, it would have been paired with another jar of the same shape, both of which would have held funeral offerings of grain meant to assist the deceased in the afterlife.

Raqqa wares like this jar only began to appear on the art market at the turn of the last century, following the excavation of ancient and medieval pottery in northern Mesopotamia, near modern-day Mosul, and in the south, near Baghdad and along the Gulf.

He eventually amassed a substantial collection of Near Eastern ceramics. In Detroit, they were prominently featured throughout the Peacock Room, most notably massed around Whistler's <i>La Princesse du pays de la porcelaine</i> and in the eye-level shelves along the west wall.
