Franks, Augustus W.  JAPANESE POTTERY, Being a Native Report with an 
Introduction and Catalogue by Augustus W. Franks. London; Chapman and Hall, 
Ltd.: 1880.  The South Kensington Museum (now the V&A) helped arranged an 
exhibit of antique Japanese pottery at the Centennial Exhibition in 
Philadelphia in 1876, and after the Exhibition the pottery was shipped to 
England for the Museum's collection. A report on Japanese ceramics was 
prepared by M. Shioda and translated by T. Asami, and that text, as well as 
illustrations of the exhibited pottery, forms the basis of the present 
book. The text was corrected by B. Nanjio and K. Kasawara, and new, 
expanded descriptions of the items written for this book. An important 
early report on Japanese pottery.  Hardcover. 5.5"x8", xvi + 112 pages, b/w 
illustrations; light wear.  [04689] $50.00
