Title

Bowl, octagonal; bold spreading foot; broken and repaired

Description

Bowl
Described by Freer as "important and rare," this turquoise-colored bowl was believed to be Mesopotamian, an example of so-called Raqqa ware. It is now recognized as Iranian in origin. Encouraged by the Paris-based art dealer Dikran Kelekian, Freer became an avid collector of medieval and ancient Near Eastern ceramics, eventually amassing a substantial collection. In Detroit they were prominently featured throughout the Peacock Room, most notably massed around <i>La Princesse du pays de la porcelaine</i> and in the eye-level shelves along the west wall.

Rouleau-shaped vase

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.

Tile
When Freer displayed this fourteenth-century Iranian tile in the Peacock Room in Detroit in 1908, he placed it alongside an array of other Near Eastern tiles and ceramic vessels, all with a variety of blue glazes. He had become interested in Near Eastern pottery in 1902 and went on to purchase a great number of such specimens from the Paris-based dealer Dikran Kelekian. This Iranian ceramic&#151;in the design of an eight-pointed star&#151;has been attributed to the Il-Khanid dynasty (1256-1353) in Rhages, in the province of Tehran.

Description

Pot
Raqqa wares like this one-handled pot 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. Freer was an early enthusiast: he purchased this piece in 1902 and eventually amassed a substantial collection of Near Eastern ceramics. In Detroit, they were prominently featured throughout the Peacock Room, most notably massed around <i>La Princesse du pays de la porcelaine</i> and in the eye-level shelves along the west wall.

Description

Dish
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.

Tomb jar

Description

Tomb jar
In the Peacock Room in Detroit, Freer displayed this Han dynasty tomb jar with several other examples of early Chinese funerary wares. The cultural significance of the jar, however, was probably less compelling for him than its textured, iridescent silvery-green surface. Around the same time that he purchased the jar, he was also acquiring medieval Near Eastern ceramics and contemporary art pottery from Detroit's Pewabic workshop. Both of these types of ceramics also featured iridescent glazes and mottled surfaces, qualities that, for Freer, resonated with the tonalism of his American paintings collection.

Vase, one of a pair with F1982.22

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.

Title

Tea-leaf storage jar

Description

Tea-leaf storage jar (chatsubo)
A pair of glazes applied to the stoneware of this late seventeenth-century Edo jar gives two unique and striking effects. A thick, mottled olive green ash glaze (called ameyu in Japan) produces purple splashes that flow randomly from the jar's shoulder on one side. An all-over coating of iron-slip glaze (called akadobe) creates a golden-dimpled appearance on another side of the tea-leaf storage jar, or chatsubo. In his object notes about the jar, which he purchased from Yamanaka and Company in 1899, Freer described the vessel as "Good. Not very fine."
