Description

Bowl
Gangjin kilns
Charles Freer purchased this eleventh-century celadon bowl as part of the Horace Allen collection of Korean ceramics. Allen was a Presbyterian medical missionary who traveled to Korea in 1884 and went on to assemble a remarkable collection of ceramics, many taken from the tombs of Korean nobility. Freer purchased his entire set of eighty pieces when it was offered for sale in 1907. The technique of preparing celadon glazes, which derive their color from traces of iron fired in a high-temperature reducing atmosphere, was first developed by Chinese potters and began to be used in Korea during the tenth century. In the Peacock Room in Detroit, this piece was grouped with number similar dishes and beneath an array of iridescent Raqqa wares from Syria.

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.

Description

Bowl
Considered one of the five "great wares" of Chinese ceramics, Jun ware was produced at a number of kilns in Henan province from the Song dynasty (960-1279) through the fifteenth century. The distinctive blue colors of the glaze&#151;which can range from greenish-blue to violet&#151;are the result of a chemical reaction that occurs during the firing and cooling process. Variations in tone occur because some areas of the pot are less thickly glazed than others. This chromatic complexity appealed to Freer, who acquired many examples of Jun ware. In the Peacock Room, which Freer called "the blue room," this bowl was one of more than forty Jun or similarly blue-glazed ceramics displayed along the south wall, just beneath Whistler's allegorical mural of two battling peacocks.

The distinctive blue colors of the glaze—which can range from greenish-blue to violet—are the result of a chemical reaction that occurs during the firing and cooling process. Variations in tone occur because some areas of the pot are less thickly glazed than others. This chromatic complexity appealed to Freer, who acquired many examples of Jun ware. In the Peacock Room, which Freer called "the blue room," this bowl was one of more than forty Jun or similarly blue-glazed ceramics displayed along the south wall, just beneath Whistler's allegorical mural of two battling peacocks.

Considered one of the five "great wares" of Chinese ceramics, Jun ware was produced at a number of kilns in Henan province from the Song dynasty (960-1279) through the fifteenth century. The distinctive blue colors of the glaze&#151;which can range from greenish-blue to violet&#151;are the result of a chemical reaction that occurs during the firing and cooling process.

Description

Bowl
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

Bowl
When Freer acquired this bowl as part of a group acquisition in 1907, it (and a number of similar examples) was believed to have been made in Korea, on account of their provenance. Scholars now agree, however, that most white wares like this, despite having been found in Korean tombs, were, in fact, made in China. This qingbai porcelain bowl, which dates to the second half of the twelfth century, was part of the collection of. Horace Allen, a former missionary and then ambassador to Korea. When Allen returned to Dayton, Ohio, and decided to sell his ceramics collection, he received high offers for individual pieces. He opted instead to keep the collection intact. Freer agreed to the purchase under that condition and noted upon review of his new wares, "Can some of them be Chinese?"

When Freer acquired this bowl as part of a group acquisition in 1907, it (and a number of similar examples) was believed to have been made in Korea, on account of their provenance. Scholars now agree, however, that most white wares like this, despite having been found in Korean tombs, were, in fact, made in China. This qingbai porcelain bowl, which dates to the second half of the twelfth century, was part of the collection of. Horace Allen, a former missionary and then ambassador to Korea. When Allen returned to Dayton, Ohio, and decided to sell his ceramics collection, he received high offers for individual pieces. He opted instead to keep the collection intact. Freer agreed to the purchase under that condition and noted upon review of his new wares, "Can some of them be Chinese?"

Title

Bowl with incised decoration

Description

Bowl
Application of a thin, transparent blue glaze which produces what has been characterized as a "cold white light" onto white porcelain is characteristic of Chinese Ch'ing pai ware. The effect is a translucency which alters according to its lighting. This Southern Song dynasty bowl is a classic example of that ceramic period. Under the glaze on the interior of the bowl is an excised design sometimes known as "boys among peonies." The coloration of the glaze is also slightly more saturated in the interior. This piece was purchased by Freer as part of the Horace Allen collection of Korean pottery and was originally thought to have been produced in that country.

Description

Bowl
Like many of the other tea bowls arranged on the mantel of the Peacock Room in 1908, this example, dating to the sixteenth century, was produced in Korea for a Japanese market. Freer found it, along with a number of similar examples, at the Fifth Avenue branch of Yamanaka and Company. Although many Western collectors of Asian ceramics favored highly decorated porcelains, Freer preferred the relatively simple forms and coarse textures of stoneware.
