  • Connoisseurs Praise Plates
    • The process by which the plates are being made is one similar to that employed by medieval craftsmen in the days of half-tones.
    • The plates are to be finished in a series of handwork which, in the opinion of connoisseurs, will make them excellent samples of blue and white ware.
    • The new plates will be exact reproductions of the old patterns, with the borders of fruits and flowers surrounding a picture of one of the buildings.
• Collections and Critiques
  • Fogg Shows Japanese Pottery and Painting
    • Hoyt Loan Collection Makes Up
      • It is well over a dozen years since the Japan Society of New York got together a number of important Japanese works of art in a special exhibition.
      • Since that time there has been no such time as the America to see such things except in the comparatively monotonous form in which they are set out by the few museums to which they are loaned.
      • Hoyt's loan collection, just opened at Fogg Museum, is therefore of more than local interest.
      • Three rooms have been devoted to a pleasantly sparse distribution of pottery and paintings where even the laymen must see at once at once at once at once at once at once at once at once at
