these vases 10 very reminiscent OF the
Kang-Hsi reign and they are evidently
works Of the early part OF the iung-
Ching reign l723-l136). These vases
were bought from the Princes Ruffo o!
Sicily. who were viceroys Of Sicily under
the old Bourbon regime. 1t is said to be
the finest complete garniture known OF
famille rose on white ground, and 1t is
very much like the famous twenty-five
inch famille rose dish In the Morgan
collection.
Another interesting piece. showing
even more clearly the transition from
the fainille verte to the famille rose
style Of decoration. Is a large cistern
or gold fish bowl; the outside decora-
ton Of this piece Is powdered blue with
camille rose panels and the interior is
decorated with aquatic plants and fish
in pure famille verte. AS we know
from the Jesuit Father d'Entrecolles
that the Chinese learned the use OF
the gold red or rose enamel about 1870.

A number OF portraits and other
paintings by Jeanne Gallup Mottet We're
placed on view yesterday at the Knoed-
Ter Galleries for an exhibition Of one
week. The effort in them has been
chiefly to seize the likeness, and in ad-
d.tion the painting has been attacked
with vim and confidence. The style OF
this artist, however, is by no means
finished, and may he said in fact TO
be in process of formation. Therefore
ia should he exempt from severe criti-
cism, Mrs. Mottet has great fond
ness for vermilion, and while this color
undoubtedly lends a great deal OF vi
vacity to picture. its Use is also at
tended with certain dangers. The plain
air figures exhibit quite often a greater
warmth in the shadows than in the
lights. which IL contrary to tho teach
ing of some Of the best German profes-
sors. However. we must admit that
when red parasol casts a red shadow
upon the face OF the lady beneath il is
difficult To keep that shadow cool. But
such subtleties add to the Joy of art.
