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
