ORIENTAL POTTERY LISTED AT MUSEUM Department of Archeology Announces Collection of Rare Specimens Centuries Old. Characteristic in type, rare in execu- tlon, “unique in decoration and bearing the fmpress of the centuries, briefly describes a collection of Oriental pot- tery just acquired by the Depanment[ - of Archeology of the Natlonal Museum. Dr. Walter Hough, head curator of the department, identifies the workman- ship of this collection as belonging to the various centuries dating as far back s the seventh. Persian in name, these rare objects show descent from the potter’s lost art of the vanished civiliza- tions of the ancient East. Specimens of Rare Design. Affected by long burial in the earth which brings out a lovely iridescence, Dr. Hough said, these pottery speci- mens are of rare interest to th2 arche- ologist. Since the earliest time, precious metals and especially tie luster of the | highly prized copper cf the dim and dusty past, have been used for deco- | rative purposes. This collection, to the extent of two or three sizable bowls, Dr. Hough explained, displays the skill of ‘the ancients in applying the copper luster by a process of painting and firing. Some of the pieces, deep bowls with one small foot, after the Chinese fashion, are distinctive in type since they represent a special stage of progress in the evolution of pottery. Early in the ninth century, the skill attained by the Chinese in making this type of pottery vessels aroused the spirit of rivalry in the Persians. As & result their ruler sent special messen- gers to the Chinese Government ask- ing for trained artisans to teach the Persian subjects Chinese methods. The Jjoint artistic efforts of these two nations resulted in a blending of Chinese form and technique with Persan workman- ship, culminating in a unique type of the art. This Chinese-Persian culture reached the height of its development early in the twelfth century. Persian Rivalry in 9th Century.. During the latter half of the ninth century, the Persian spirit of rivalry was likewise aroused by the talent ex- hibited by the neighboring Armenians in producing bright colors for pottery decoration. The secret of making bright reds and blues was for centuries known only to the Armenians.’ The Persian desire to acquire this knowl- edge finally grew so acute that the Persian ruler, Shah Abbaz, forced the Armenians to labor in Persian work- shops and to preduce their native art as & Persian product. Although resent- ful, the ArTem-ns yielded the secret of their art, it is said, due to the diplomacy of Shah Abbaz, who after the fashion of Haroun-al-Raschid mingled with them in disgulse, He visited the workshops dressed as a t, consoling the Armenians with dly conversation as well as honoring them ‘with his presence at their places of worship and even feasting them. ‘Thus, gaining the admiration and con- fidence of the Armenian people, Shah Abbaz likewise obtained the secret of producing bright colors, especially the cobalt blue, which to the present time s:.k pgpullrly accredited to Persian nt. Bowl Held Choicest Specimen. A bowl 8 inches in diameter and .4 inches deep, decorated with flowing de- signs of cobalt blue, reminding one of the graceful traceries of the art of the ancient East, is considered by Dr. Hol as the choicest specimen in the collection. ‘The acquisition of this material from L+ Calusd art collection of this city ‘was made possible by the aid of the Bruce Hughes Archeological #und. g - dec Derailment Is Investigated.
