[edit] Gaudy & NPOV

Hello everyone. To be the following statement is not NPOV. It appears someones opinion. Any thoughts? "European centers imitated the gaudy and consciously "barbaric" taste of "Imari" wares, first copied in faience at Delft in Holland. In the early 19th century, Chamberlain's factory at Worcester copied Imari "gaudy" ware." ThanxTheriac

"Gaudy Ware" is a collectors' term that may not appear in the Chamberlain's Worcester archives. In the C18 the Japanese kilns at Arita produced wares specifically designed for export that were in gaudy European taste, unlike the wares made for home consumption. The "PoV" is more nuanced when it is better informed. --Wetman 16:56, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] References

The current references are insufficient. What are they? Books? Who is the publisher? They need to be either expanded or deleted. They are:

  • Georges Le Gars, Imari, faïences et porcelaines du Japon, de Chine et d'Europe (Paris: Massin 2004)
  • Georges Le Gars, Les Imari anglais (Paris: Massin 2007)

Formatted the titles. --Wetman 16:56, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Imari Jar

I uploaded a picture of a large Imari jar found at my local library. You're welcome to use it in the article, if you think it should go there. I am curious if anyone can identify who Kanzo (the artist's name as given by the library) is, so I could possible upload it to the Commons, and I'm also curious if anyone thinks the high-quality pictures of the sides of the jar would be useful for Wikipedia/Commons.--Prosfilaes (talk) 00:37, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
