Zetterquist Galleries is delighted to present an exhibition of recent acquisitions of Chinese, Vietnamese and Korean ceramics in conjunction with September Asia Week.

The exhibition centers around a group of Chinese and Vietnamese ceramics from a private Boston collection.  One of the highlights is a small blue and white “Monk’s Cap Ewer” with its original lid, produced in Jingdezhen in the 14th century.  It features scrolling lotus and a band of script imitating Tibetan, and was formerly in the private collection of Laura Langdon of Alberts Langdon in Boston.  There three Tang Dynasty objects, which include a 7th c. flask with relief decoration of dancing boys, originally purchased from JJ Lally and Co., and an elegant “Sancai” circular box with domed interior.  Vietnamese pieces from the same collection include two celadon ewers, and two large plates, one of which is decorated with a leaping deer in cobalt blue, and the other with a depiction of three islands in underglaze blue with overglaze enamel green, red and gold highlights.

A small group of Chinese Song Dynasty ceramics comes from the estate of a New York collector, has lovely examples of Qingbai and black and brown wares.

Korean ceramics are represented with a group of Goryeo celadons with elegant forms and radiant glazes, all from American and Japanese collections.  A highlight of these is a carved cup-stand with carved lotus petals and floral incising, from the John R. Menke collection.

They look forward to welcoming you to the gallery soon!
