The Postmaster's Porcelain THE POSTMASTER’S PORCELAIN: COLLECTING EUROPEAN DECORATIVE ART IN MIDDLE AMERICA _______________________________________ A Dissertation presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School at the University of Missouri-Columbia _______________________________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy _____________________________________________________ by SARAH S. JONES Dr. Michael Yonan, Dissertation Supervisor JULY 2018 © Copyright by Sarah S. Jones 2018 All Rights Reserved The undersigned, appointed by the dean of the Graduate School, have examined the dissertation entitled THE POSTMASTER’S PORCELAIN: COLLECTING EUROPEAN DECORATIVE ART IN MIDDLE AMERICA presented by Sarah S. Jones, a candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, and hereby certify that, in their opinion, it is worthy of acceptance. Professor Michael Yonan Professor Ilyana Karthas Professor Kristin Schwain Professor James van Dyke For Soumya D. Sanyal, my husband and cheerleader. Thank you for pushing me! ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This dissertation project would not have been possible without the many people and organizations who have supported me throughout my graduate education. First and most importantly, my advisor Dr. Michael Yonan guided me along the journey to fulfill my lifelong goal of earning my doctoral degree. He provided eminently constructive academic support, countless hours of editing, and untold amounts of patience, the most crucial element in the completion of my dissertation. I am highly grateful to my committee members, Dr. Kristin Schwain, Dr. Ilyana Karthas, and Dr. James van Dyke for their time and expertise, but above all for the example of professionalism and dedication to their students they provided in all our interactions. I must also recognize the support of the entire faculty of the Department of Art History and Archaeology at the University of Missouri for providing financial support for my research through the Ozzie Overby travel grant, but also for their gracious encouragement throughout my graduate career. The staff of the department, including June Davis, Linda Garrison, and Nancy Alexander, also provided their valuable time, comforting wisdom, and vital emotional support to myself and all the graduate students of our department which I truly appreciate. My dissertation project would not have been possible without the support of the institutions connected with the Strain Collection of European and American Decorative Arts. I am immensely grateful for their support. Key members of the University of Nebraska Kearney Finance Office, including former vice-chancellor Barbara Johnson, administrative assistant Fauneil Meyer, and assistant vice-chancellor (retired) John iii Lakey, provided access to the Strain house and documentation of the collection that formed the core of my research. Other people who provided essential documentation and recollections of the Strains include Mr. James R. Ganz, Jr., the Strains’ estate attorney; Dr. Betty Becker-Theye, neighbor and friend to the Strains; Mr. Roger L. Jones of the NU Foundation, the development officer who assisted the Strains in preparing their estate gift; and Mrs. Jeanne Hobelman and Mrs. Bonnie Anderson, relatives of the couple whose photographs and recollections furnished insight into the private world of the Strains. Dr. Will Stoutamire, current director of the G.W. Frank Museum of History and Culture, provided invaluable access to the collection objects for research and photography. I would also like to express my appreciation to Mrs. KrisAnn Sullivan, retired director of the museum, for her encouragement and support of my career, especially in asking me to serve as interim director in her absence as it was during that time that I was introduced to the legacy of the Strains and their amazing collection. It is also essential for me to recognize the support of my fellow graduate students in the Department of Art History and Archaeology with whom I smiled, drank, laughed, and sometimes cried as we shared the odyssey of academic training. I am eternally indebted to two members of the University of Missouri staff, Dr. Michelle Froese and Dr. Cathy Callaway, for their enduring care and support of my career and personal happiness. Support of family is tantamount to sleep and oxygen in the life of a doctoral student, so thanks go to my mother, Kathy, and my father, Steve; my sister, Laura, and nephew Conner; and many aunts, uncles, and cousins. I am especially grateful for the love of my grandmother, Sue, who makes my life exponentially better. Finally, I am forever grateful iv to my husband, Soumya, and our fur-kids because completing my doctoral program would have been unachievable without their love and support. v TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS ............................................................................................. vi PREFACE ...................................................................................................................... xviii Introductory Essay I.

Oral history is a modern research technique involving an interviewee and an informed interviewer in spontaneous conversation. The taped record is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee.

Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Kay Sekimachi dated April 16, 1995.

  • A Passion for Porcelain: a Symposium in Honour of Meredith Chilton September 21 - 22, 2018
    A Passion for Porcelain: A Symposium in Honour of Meredith Chilton September 21 - 22, 2018 Friday September 21 9 - 9:45 am Registration and light breakfast 9:45 - 10 am Welcome Remarks James Appleyard, Chair of the Board of Trustees, Gardiner Museum 10 - 10:45 am Flights of Imagination: Claudius Innocentius du Paquier and the Tastes of his Patrons Dr. Claudia Lehner-Jobst, Independent Art Historian and Curator, Vienna This year we celebrate the 300th anniversary of the founding of Claudius Innocentius Du Paquier's private porcelain manufactory. Based on newly discovered objects, this lecture explores the connections of early Vienna porcelain with the tastes of its noble patrons at a time when the city was absorbing a Baroque international style and developing its distinctive character in a uniquely playful manner. Dr. Claudia Lehner-Jobst will explore the artistic and social vibrancy of the imperial city around 1718 through the eyes of the modellers and painters of Du Paquier, who created works for the elite—confident members of the cultural avant-garde—as well as fulfilling imperial orders of diplomatic gifts which charmed the tastes of their recipients. 10:45 - 11:30 am Porcelaine à la mode: The Eighteenth-Century Collections of the Baden Princesses Sebastian Kuhn, Bonhams, London The ruling family of Baden in southwestern Germany boasted three notable porcelain collectors in the eighteenth century: the Margravines Sibylla Augusta of Baden-Baden (1675-1733), Magdalena Wilhelmine of Baden-Durlach (1677-1742), and Karoline Luise of Baden-Durlach (1723-83). Whereas the first two collections were displayed in a Northern European Baroque manner, Karoline Luise—who inherited the collections of her forebears—perceived porcelain through the lens of the Enlightenment and had a more scientific approach to collecting.

    NEBRASKA : THE COR NHUSKER STATE 43 larger cities and counties continue to grow. Between 2000 and 2010, the population of Douglas County—home of Omaha—increased 11.5 percent, while neighboring Sarpy County grew 29.6 percent. Nebraska’s population is becoming more racially and ethnically diverse. The most significant growth has occurred in the Latino population, which is now the state’s largest minority group. From 2000 to 2010, the state’s Latino population increased from 5.5 percent to 9.2 percent, growing at a rate of slightly more than 77 percent. The black population also grew from 3.9 percent to 4.4 percent during that time. While Nebraska’s median age increased from 35.3 in 2000, to 36.2 in 2010 — the number of Nebraskans age 65 and older decreased slightly during the same time period, from 13.6 percent in 2000, to 13.5 percent in 2010. RECREATION AND PLACES OF INTEREST31 National Areas32 Nebraska has two national forest areas with hand-planted trees: the Bessey Ranger District of the Nebraska National Forest in Blaine and Thomas counties, and the Samuel R. McKelvie National Forest in Cherry County. The Pine Ridge Ranger District of the Nebraska National Forest in Dawes and Sioux counties contains native ponderosa pine trees. The U.S. Forest Service also administers the Oglala National Grassland in northwest Nebraska. Within it is Toadstool Geologic Park, a moonscape of eroded badlands containing fossil trackways that are 30 million years old. The Hudson-Meng Bison Bonebed, an archaeological site containing the remains of more than 600 pre- historic bison, also is located within the grassland.

  • For Immediate Release
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Lisa A. Batitto, Public Relations Manager, Newark Museum Phone: 973-596-6638, e-mail: [email protected] Newark Museum Exhibition Celebrates Sparkling Gift of Steuben Glass Unexpected Color: A Journey Through Glass Opens May 1, 2019 Newark, NJ – A sparkling, colorful gift of Steuben glass from The Thomas N. Armstrong III Collection will be on display in an upcoming exhibition at the Newark Museum. Unexpected Color: A Journey Through Glass, opening on May 1, 2019, showcases more than 130 works in glass designed by Frederick Carder for the famed Steuben Glass Works from 1903 to 1933 and used in a variety of settings by the collector. The exhibition presents a jewel box of shimmering glass, organized by Carder’s colors that he created and patented. Carder was fascinated with ancient glass colors and forms, and he worked to recreate the iridescent colors of excavated ancient Greek and Roman glass. He also designed new shapes inspired by Chinese and Venetian glass as well as shapes influenced by Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles, modern at the time. Carder kept detailed notebooks of his color formulas and glass types, revealing the glassblowing chemistry and techniques used to create the variety of functional and decorative glassware in the exhibition, including vases, bowls, candlesticks and stemware. The exhibition will include interactive tablets to connect Carder’s formulas and shapes with the colors and forms on display. Audio recordings of Carder interviews will also heighten the story of the experimentation behind the creation of this colorful glass. “Carder’s work for Steuben is particularly appropriate for Newark’s collection,” said Amy Simon Hopwood, the Museum’s Associate Curator of Decorative Arts.

  • Over 300 Objects on Display in Asian Civilisations Museum's
    1 Empress Place Singapore 179555 www.acm.org.sg MEDIA INVITATION OVER 300 OBJECTS ON DISPLAY IN ASIAN CIVILISATIONS MUSEUM’S NEW GALLERY OF CHINESE CERAMICS Dear Editor, Asian Civilisations Museum (ACM) specially invites you to go on a Director’s Tour of its new gallery of Chinese Ceramics. 2. The gallery presents a wide range of Chinese ceramics, from earthenware made for ritual burial in tombs to the finest porcelains from the Imperial kilns. The display spans 333 sq m, an area that includes Level 3 of the museum’s new Kwek Hong Png Wing. Interpretive materials explore how ceramics were made, used, and valued throughout Chinese history. 3. Key highlights include (i) The display of the lustrous white porcelain, including lively and delightfully modelled figures, produced at the Dehua kilns in Fujian province. The ACM’s large collection of Dehua porcelain is one of the finest and most comprehensive in the world. (ii) A selection of exquisite Song dynasty ceramics from the Edmond Chin collection, including extremely rare examples of Guan (official) kiln ware. The five classic wares of the Song dynasty – Ding, Jun, Ru, Guan, and Ge – have been prized by emperors, scholars, and collectors since their inception. (iii) Vase with a chrysanthemum base – This vase is an artistic tour-de- force, with the solid body of the vessel contrasting with the apparently fragile flower underneath. It reflects a blend of native Han and Central Asian taste – another example is from 12th-century Hebei under the Liao dynasty. (iv) Flute – Porcelain flutes were rare and luxurious versions of musical instruments normally carved from bamboo.
