Jaap Otte presents his findings on Japanese ceramics from the 19th and first half of the 20th century exported to Southeast including architecturally-used ceramics, 'bartmann' jugs, water storage jars from Hizen, Nagasaki ware bottles, Arita porcelain, Awaji porcelain, and industrial earthenware and porcelain.
Jaap Otte, a native of the Netherlands, presented findings of his ongoing study of Japanese ceramics exported to Southeast Asia, primarily from Indonesia, from the 19th to the first half of the 20th century, which included architecturally-used ceramics, excavated material and contemporary written sources. His presentation included the following wares: stoneware “bartmann” jugs; water storage jars from Hizen(?); Nagasaki ware bottles; Arita porcelain; Awaji ware; and industrial earthenware and porcelain.
A struggle to choose amongst the thousands of exquisite ceramics in Arita, Japan, results in the purchase of a Kakiemon tiger.
