Uittreksel

"What follows is a selection of 50 ceramics from the Reeves Collection. They were made in Asia, Europe, and the Americas, some as early as the early 1600s and some as recently as the 21st century. Acquired over the past 50 years, they reflect the range and diversity of the collection. The pieces were selected because they are particularly fine examples of their type, or because they have especially interesting stories, or both. In some cases, an entry includes two or three objects that relate to one another. The entries are arranged roughly chronologically."--

  • Notities

    Founded in 1967 with a gift of ceramics from alumnus Euchlin Reeves and his wife, the painter Louise Herreshoff, the Reeves Collection contains ceramics made in Asia, Europe, and the Americas between 1500 and today. These fragile yet durable objects tell stories of design, technology, and trade, and illustrate how people drank, dined and decorated their homes over the past five centuries. -- Publisher.
