unexplored by Foreigners"

New York; American Art Association: January 29-31, 1914.

An auction of a remarkable selection of ceramics, jades, bronzes, carpets
and furniture. One notable aspect of this catalog is that, unlike many
catalogs of the period, a very large percentage of the items are
illustrated, many one-per-page. The color plates illustrate a Shang bronze
ritual vessel, a K'ang hsi Imperial celadon vase, three superb Yung Cheng
coral-red vases, a K'ang hsi apple-green crackle-glaze jar, a K'ang hsi
Sang-de-boeuf vase, and a pair of portraits on glass. If you like Chinese
arts, this catalog will please you.

Card covers. 7"x10.5", 519 lots, about 150 pages plus 6 color plates with
tissue guards and 38 b/w plates and 1 b/w double-page plate. Light wear, a
little soil. Binding slightly shaken.  $150.00
