Description

Dish
Gangjin or Buan kilns
Dating to circa 1200, this bowl, with its stamped floral design and carved ribs, was part of the Horace Allen collection of Korean ceramics, which Freer acquired in 1907. 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. This piece is an example of Korean celadon. 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

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.

Dish with molded decoration

Description

Dish
Freer and his contemporaries regarded this as an example of Jun ware, which was produced in Henan province of China from the Song dynasty (960-1279) through the fifteenth century. Jun ware is characterized by its distinctive glazes, which range from greenish-blue to lavender and lavender-blue with violet splashes or marks. This dish is actually a later example of a Jun-style glaze. In the Peacock Room, which Freer called "the blue room," it 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.

Dish with dragon design, one of a pair with F1992.7

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.

Dish on a low foot

Description

Dish
Of all the pieces Freer chose to display on the shelves of his Peacock, or Blue, Room, this large shallow "dish on a low foot" most closely references the original blue and white china which appeared in the room's original incarnation in London. This ornately patterned Safavid dish was not typical of the Asian ceramics Freer was attracted to, or indeed collected. In his object notes, he wrote about the piece, "For comparative study only." He purchased it from the Paris dealer, D.G. Demotte, of whom not much is known. What is clear, however, is that Freer selected this Iranian bowl of the Safavid period for inclusion among his other items of Near Eastern and Asian ceramics-perhaps to highlight, through contrast, the formal and chromatic qualities of the less decorated, more subtly colored surfaces of the rest of his collection.

Freer purchased this Safavid period white porcelain dish from the Paris-based dealer Dikran G. Kelekian. It was originally part of the Charles A. Dana Collection, about which a New York Times article had reported, "At the time of his death [Dana] owned the largest and most valuable collection of Oriental pottery and porcelains in America, with the single exception of that formed by W. T. Walters of Baltimore." Freer remarked that this shallow dish, with its black painted design and piercings below the rim, was a "good specimen" although he also noted that he wanted to compare it with a "finer specimen" he had purchased directly from the Dana sale.
