Illustrated Catalogue of a Very Important Collection of Antique Chinese Porcelains including Fine Specimens of Sang-De-Bceuf and Peachbloom Tang and Ming Pottery, Carved Jade and Other Hard Stones, Cloisonne Enamels, a Number of Ming Large Plant Jars and Antique Chinese Rugs : collected by Messrs. Voron & Chiat of New York
This 1918 auction catalogue from the American Art Association in New York offers the collection of Messrs. Voron & Chiat, featuring Chinese porcelains, Tang and Ming pottery, carved jade, cloisonne enamels and rugs, with former owner Charles Lang Freer's copy. The four pictures show vases in blue-and-white and enamelled wares: a baluster vase with dragons and a pavilion, a flared vase with peonies, a prunus-blossom vase on a carved stand, and a covered jar with flowering branches. Designers can take from them the rhythm of painted bands, repeated floral motifs and the classic silhouettes of Chinese vase shapes.
