Did You Know?

Seifū Yohei IV’s dishes with flowers feature underglaze yellow.

Description

One can imagine a cool summer breeze when looking upon this set of dishes, each shaped with a crenulated mouth and glazed with blue. Around the rim and into the basin, the bowls have low-relief designs of flowers with underglaze yellow petals; their leaves and stems show white through the glaze. On each dish, the design continues over the rim onto one side.

Gardens: The Cleveland Museum of Art

Gardens: The Cleveland Museum of Art

By Mary Hoerner, Jeffrey Strean, Leslie Cade The Cleveland Museum of Art opened to the public in 1916. In front of the majestic marble structure, however, was a neglected parcel of land with a small lake owned by the City of Cleveland. In the 1920s the Garden Club of Cleveland took on the job of transforming this blighted plot into the Fine Arts Garden, a beautiful place everyone could enjoy. Mary Hoerner delves into the history of the Fine Arts Garden, and Jeffrey Strean and Leslie Cade discuss past and present developments of the museum’s grounds as well as plans for the future. This lavishly illustrated and beautifully designed book presents a new aspect of the history of a distinguished institution. 108 pages Published 2016
