The headline reads: "Fine Arts Museum Gets Hoyt Collection of Oriental Pottery."

The article reports that the Boston Museum of Fine Arts has received a significant donation of Oriental pottery from the late Charles Hoyt's collection. The collection, which includes early Chinese and Korean pottery and porcelain, was bequeathed to the museum following the filing of Hoyt's will.

• The collection consists of 1000 rare bowls and statues that have been on loan exhibition for the past 20 years.
• The museum began packing the valuable pieces the day before and had them delivered by noon on the day of the article's publication.

"Fine Arts Museum Gets Hoyt Collection of Oriental Pottery

One of the quickest moving jobs on record followed the revelation, through filing of the will of the late Charles Hoyt, last Wednesday, that the wealthy art collector had bequeathed his matchless collection of early Chinese and Korean pottery and porcelain to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.

The Fogg Art Museum of Harvard University, where more than 1000 rare vases, bowls and statues has been 'on loan exhibition' for the past 20 years, started packing them and by noon yesterday morning had delivered them to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.

Since the will has only been filled, and legal requirements are not completed until the will is 'allowed,' a process that often requires months, the Boston Museum will have a 'storage' problem.

The first centralized industry was in New Amsterdam, on Manhattan, where handmade glassware was manufactured continuously from 1645 to 1767."
