The image depicts a press release from the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University, dated June 25, 1976. The press release announces a summer exhibition titled "Korean Ceramics in Summer Exhibition." The exhibition features Korean ceramics from the Old Silla and Unified Silla periods (57 B.C. - 668 A.D.) and will be on view from June 29 through August 29.
Key points from the press release include:
Exhibition Highlights: The exhibition showcases various pieces on loan from the collection of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Mowry Gardner, Jr., illustrating the variety of Silla pottery forms, which are known for their bold, imaginative, and sculptural designs.
Curator: The exhibition is organized by Acting Assistant Curator Richard Mellott.
Exhibits: The exhibition includes both common and unusual Silla ceramic forms, such as high pedestal cups, round-bottomed storage jars, large horn-shaped cups, and wine containers shaped like small wagons. Notable pieces include rare, monumental ceremonial stands.
Historical Context: The press release provides background on the production of high-fired, unglazed stoneware in Korea, which began with the introduction of the potter's wheel and tunnel kiln during the second century A.D. The demand for this pottery led to the establishment of numerous kilns in the Silla kingdom by the fifth century, influencing Japanese ceramics as many Silla potters traveled to Japan.
Additional Exhibitions: The press release also mentions other exhibitions at the Fogg Oriental galleries, including Japanese lacquers, Indian Pala bronzes, and Southeast Asian sculpture and painting.
Museum Hours: The Fogg Art Museum will be closed on weekends until Labor Day. Summer hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The text announces a small exhibition of Korean ceramics from the Old Silla and Unified Silla periods (57 B.C. – 668 A.D.) to be held at the Fogg Art Museum from June 29 through August 29.

The exhibition will be on view at the Fogg Art Museum from June 29 through August 29, 1976.
The exhibition is organized by Acting Assistant Curator Richard Mellot and features representative examples of both common and unusual Silla ceramic forms, including high pedestal cups, round-bottomed storage jars, large horn-shaped cups, and wine containers in the form of small wagons. The exhibition also highlights the consummate skill of the Silla potters through rare, monumental ceremonial stands.
The press release also mentions that production of high-fired, unglazed stoneware in Korea began with the Chinese-inspired introduction of the potter's wheel and tunnel kiln during the second century A.D. Demands for this durable, practical pottery soared, and by the fifth century hundreds of kilns had sprung-up in the Silla kingdom of southern Korea. Many Silla potters traveled to Japan during this period, where they left a lasting effect on the development of Japanese ceramics.
In addition to the Korean ceramics exhibition, the Fogg Oriental galleries will also feature a selection of Japanese lacquers, Southeast Asian sculpture and painting, and Indian Pala bronzes this summer.
The press release also provides information on the museum's hours of operation, which will be closed on weekends until Labor Day, and the museum will be closed on Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. until 5 p.m.
