Catalogue of the Morgan collection of Chinese porcelains
A 1907 museum catalogue of Chinese porcelains from the J. Pierpont Morgan collection, issued in New York by the Metropolitan Museum of Art with text by Stephen Bushell and William Laffan for collectors and scholars of ceramics. The plates are rotated black-and-white photographs of vases and jars set against dark backdrops, showing painted enamel decoration, cloud and flower motifs, and a sequence of bottle, gourd and baluster forms that a designer could use for ceramic shape and ornament references.
