Illustrated Catalogue of an Important Collection of Chinese Porcelains, Pottery, Embroideries and Brocades, Snuff Bottles and Carvings in Jade, Amethyst, Agate, Crystal, Lapis Lazuli and other Minerals Consignment from Ton-Ying and Company
A 1918 sale catalogue from the Anderson Galleries in New York, issued for the Ton-Ying and Company consignment of Chinese porcelains, pottery, textiles and carved stone, and formerly owned by collector Charles Lang Freer. The first picture shows a carved stone figure's draped base on a dark wooden stand, the second a dark glazed jar with incised lotus-like flowers on a pierced carved stand, and the third a painted standing female figure in a long robe on a scroll. A designer might take carved floral relief, sculptural pedestal forms and flowing drapery silhouettes from these plates.
