THE CATALOGUE
352

RECENT ACCESSIONS

Many objects have been added by gift and purchase during the final
preparation of the catalogue, and after the photogravure plates of the cases
were made, and consequently too late to insert in their proper places. As
some of these objects are of great rarity and importance a continuous cata-
logue for convenience of reference has been made. These objects, unless
otherwise indicated, are installed in Case 40.

5090. Tea-jar.
HOSHO
5091*. Hanging flower-vase. H. 7J in. This object is interesting in having the thick
gray glaze with light brown areas seen in certain forms of Agano.
Moku and spiral line (imp.).
5096*. Flower-vase. H. 13 J in. Coarse gray brown clay, thick white glaze with coarse
ramifying crackle, light robin's-egg blue overglaze. This object is of great interest as prov-
ing the correctness of attributing this pottery to Buzen. By an accident of the furnace two
typical Agano bowls have tumbled upon the top of the vase, and have been cemented to it
by the blue overglaze. These bowls in clay and glaze are identical with the Ninagawa type,
