content: What seems to be this ceramic is visible in a photo in the Smithsonian Institution Archives collections which was taken circa 1901 - 1903 of the Ceramics exhbit hall in the galleries of the Northeast court of the U.S. National Museum; photo is from Record Unit 95, Box 42, Folder: 8, copy photo # 2002-12156, https://siarchives.si.edu/collections/siris_sic_9966 . This object is probably the one described in the U.S. National Museum Annual Report for 1914, in the section describing exhibits at the Arts and Industries Building, in the Ceramics, Metal and Glass section, p. 68: "... Japanese and Chinese art ceramics. Notable in the last section is a large Japanese plaque decorated with doves in flight ...." E202929, described as a blue and white ware bowl with swallows, is part of a returned loan, but, very speculatively, may still possibly be the number for ET5320?
