LACQUER OF GREAT PRICE

Unless negotiations now in progress result in
its purchase by some American collector or in
stituton within a week or SO, what is said by
many experts TO be the most valuable collection
If LACQUER work eXtant will probably be lost to
this country.

10 keep the collection in this city, or at least
in this country.
The collection, a Satsuma marriage service, is
a set Of thirty three pieces, and. according to
tie claims Of MI. Kaldenberg and others who
have investigated its history, is the identical
marriage set presented by the Prince of Ku-
waua 10 the Prince Of Satsuma's son when the
youth was united in marriage to Kuwanas
daughter in 1912 Contrary to the usual Gus
tom Il lacquer makers of the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries, when this art was at its
height in Japan, this Satsuma set is not signed.
and American collectors do not agree upon its
maker. There are japanese authorities, how
ever. who say they are able to name him. and,
firm in this belief, strong efforts are being made
10 get the japanese Government to take the set.
Nj. Fukushma is practically certain Of being
able 10 dispose Of the set TO the Jap nese Gov
erruent for something like 10000 yen or
10000 in American money. If he is successful
in this venture. the profit to him will be sufi-
cieut TO repay the pains he has taken for the
purchase Of the service. While il is said TO be
practically imposs bic to definitely fix the exact
value Of the service, the present owners have
expressed a Willingness to dispose of it to an
American museum other American institu-
tion at a nominal price, in view Of the desire to
keep The set in this country. Nothing lower
