My recent visit to this lovely museum was a treasure trove of photographs for my
blog. I will go back again soon.
blog. I will go back again soon.
I was unable to photograph the information about these two perfume bottles, there
were so many people in front of that case. There were about a hundred beautiful
bottles, some very tiny, others a little larger.
These four ritual water vessels are from China, Jingdezhen, Jiangxi province.
Qing dynsasty, reign of the Qianlong emperor ( 1736 - 1795 ). Pocelain with
overglaze polychrome decoration. From the Avery Brundage Collection.
I am participating in Mellow Yellow Monday - to see more yellow contributions,

Looks like my sort of museum. As usual, nice photos. Have a lovely week.

ReplyDeleteI love Asian Art - was in Taiwan once and got to see the National Museum which was incredibly beautiful - all the treasure Chiang Kai Chek brought when they fled China.

Their collection of perfume bottles is beyond belief and must be worth a fortune.

It is good to see you. I finally heard from my dear friend in Akita but, thus far, I have not had any contact from my friend who is a medical examiner in Kobe. I am sure she is overwhelmed with work right now.

I would love to have one of those little perfume bottles and they would be fun to collect - however, I've told myself "no more collections" and I've even started giving some of my things away.

I am the same - the small Asian items I like very much - and some of the furnishings, too - though the wooden block pillows don't seem too comfortable to me!

I have been fortunate to see so many amazing places and things in my travels. I think that is why being grounded is so hard for me now. Of course, I find that my arthritis, especially in my shoulders, is so bad now, I know it would be hard to make really long trips. If I had the money, though,I'd still be traveling. One of the places I haven't been yet is Angor Wat in Cambodia and Machu Piccu in Peru - places I wanted to see before I died.

Those objects, from the past, were really quite exquisite, weren't they? I wish we could go back in time, just for a little while, to see how things were.

ReplyDeleteIt is so nice to be able to see these beautiful works of art. I know some cultures don't use much color but this museum is filled with a great deal of it, especially reds.
