content: From 1920

content: Notes:

content: [1] See Original Whistler List, Drawings, pg. 10, Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery Archives. Thomas Way Sr. and his son, Thomas Robert Way, were lithographers who worked closely with Whistler on several of his projects. They helped with the printing of his etchings, as well as the printing of Whistler’s promotional materials. Both Thomas Way Sr. and Thomas Robert Way owned many Whistler works. Thomas Way Sr. acquired several of these works at the time of Whistler’s bankruptcy, and he passed some of them on to his son (see The Correspondence of James McNeill Whistler, 1855-1903, ed. Margaret F. MacDonald, Patricia de Montfort and Nigel Thorp, On-line Edition, People, biographies of Thomas Way and Thomas Robert Way; http://www.whistler.arts.gla.ac.uk/correspondence).

content: Charles Lang Freer acquired many Whistler pieces from the Ways. However, museum records do not always specify whether it was the younger or elder Way who was the source of a particular object. Further, archival sources indicate that the junior Way sometimes acted on behalf of his father: whilst negotiating the sale of his own Whistler works to C.L. Freer, he would concurrently negotiate the sale of some of his father’s Whistler works to Freer. In cases where it is unclear whether it was the junior or senior Way who actually owned a piece acquired by C.L. Freer, the provenance record will simply state that the object was purchased from “Thomas Way Sr. or Thomas Robert Way.”

content: 17th century

content: Safavid period

label: Description

content: Bottle, globular, on a high foot.

content: Clay: soft, white, heavy.

content: Glaze: brilliant turquoise green with blue inside the neck; a very slight iridescence. Crackled and pitted.

content: (Atil, 1973)

content: Monochrome Safavid ceramics were not only limited to celadons, but also included turquoise, blue, green and brown glazed wares. This bottle with a globular body, tall and tapering neck and widening mouth is adorned with a simple molded ring encircling the upper portion of the neck. The turquiose-blue glaze is crackled and is also applied to the inner surface of the mouth.

content: The shape of the bottle, or bottle-shaped vase, goes back to earlier metal prototypes and can be found in the eleventh or twelfth century (an identical shape occurs in a silver vessel from the Seljuk period in the Freer Gallery, no. 50.5). Similar bottles are frequently employed in miniature paintings depicting princely entertainment scenes from the fourteenth century onward. They are represented either as silver and gold vessels or as blue-and-white ceramics. The most popular period for these bottles, both in paintings and in ceramics, was the seventeenth century (Pope, Survey, pls.795-797 and 806B-809).

content: Some of the ceramic examples are monochrome glazed; others are painted in luster, blue or polychrome colors while several show relief or pierced decorations. The body shapes vary slightly but the long tapered neck is always distinctly present (see No.93 for its representations on a plate).

label: Description

content: Intaglio print of a wheelright's shop, with several figures working in a large space under large beams.

label: Signatures

content: Signature in pencil: the Butterfly, imp.

label: Edition/State

label: Label

content: Etched shortly after Whistler’s return from Venice, Wheelwright likely depicts a workshop in London or elsewhere in the south of England. As the artist’s shop-front project gained steam, Wheelwright was included in A Set of Twenty-six Etchings, also known as the “Second Venice Set,” published in 1886. Over time, Whistler began to include forges, furnaces, and smiths in his works depicting locations in Italy, England, and France. These images allowed him to render dramatic lighting and complex, interrelated figural compositions.

content: Whistler etchings are identified by "G" numbers as assigned in "James McNeill Whistler: The Etchings, a catalogue raisonné," by Margaret F. McDonald, Grischka Petri, Meg Hausberg, and Joanna Meacock (University of Glasgow, 2012), http://etchings.arts.gla.ac.uk. This print is G240 state 7 of 9.

content: Surface: cuprite patination with traces of malachite.

content: Decoration: in high and low relief. Inscriptions inside of the vessel and the cover.

label: Inscriptions

content: (A.G.W., 1944) The inscriptions are the same in both cover and bottom and read:

content: "ya ch'i ? tso mu hsin i" [Chn] ? [Chn] or "Ch'i ? of Ya has made for Mother Hsin a [sacral] vessel."

content: The questioned character [Chn] has been read as "i" [Chn] by Takata Tadahiro [Chn] (See "Kochuhen, ch. 55, p. 14, a). However, other scholars tend to leave it unread.

content: (See Curatorial Remarks number 4)

content: The Translation reads: Bronze jar, called "Yi," with some inscriptions on the cover and the bottom of the jar. The inscriptions read: "Ya-Tso-mo-Sui-Yi." 'Mo-Sui-Yi' is the name of this jar. The first word means that the jar is offered to the temple. The second and third words mean that so and so made it.

content: Bodhisattvas are princely disciples of the Buddha who have attained enlightenment but choose to remain accessible until all sentient beings have been saved. They are therefore saviors, unlike luohans, who are protectors of the Buddha Law. In the Water-Land Prayer rite for which this painting was made, it would have been displayed in an upper chamber among the deities, as of looking down at the mortals below.

content: An unidentified bodhisattva is accompanied by two young women, one carrying a banner, the other a vase of flowers. The clouds are tinged with gold, and an air of serene, ethereal blessing is conveyed by the image. It was into this realm of serenity that one hoped to be reborn through the prayer rite.
