Image scanned from color slide. Note: "Stoneware is a vitreous or semi-vitreous ceramic ware made primarily from non-refractory fire clay."--Wikipedia. Note: "In 1959...industrialist Avery Brundage agreed to donate the first part of his vast collection of Asian art to San Francisco on the condition that the city build a new museum to house it...Completed in 1966, the new facility opened on June 10, 1966, in a space constructed as a wing of the M. H. de Young Memorial Museum in Golden Gate Park...In July 1969...the institution became an independent entity...In 1973 the institution-until then known officially as the Center for Asian Art and Culture-was renamed the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco."--Museum History, Asian Art Museum of San Francisco website. Note: "The Asian art collection remained open to the public at the de Young until October 2001, when it closed in preparation for [relocation]. In November 2003 it re-opened its doors to the public at its new Civic Center location as an independent museum."--Museum History, de Young Museum website. |
