Catalogue of the Macomber collection of Chinese pottery
A catalogue of Chinese ceramics from the Frank Gair Macomber collection, compiled by John Getz for the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and printed there in 1909 for collectors and museum readers. The rotated plates show row after row of glazed vases, jars and covered vessels, each numbered in the margin, with sheen and glaze visible on many surfaces. A designer could draw on the varied silhouettes of baluster, bulbous and lidded forms, and on the range of glazes from monochrome sheen to crackled and carved surfaces.
