OM MUSEUM VAN AZIATISCHE KUNST DER VEREENIGING VAN VRIENDEN DER AZIATISCHE KUNST STEDELUK MUSEUM — AMSTERDAM TELEFOON 24825 (Bl gom gehoer 20204 on 27440) Conservator : H. FE. VISSER. AMSTERDAM, June 17th 194 6 Prof. Dr. Bernhard Karlgren Director Östasiatiska Samlingarna 65, Svevågén, 85 t o ok holm My dear Karlgren, This is to ask you, whether you ever oame across ves- sels of the Yin or early Chou period, made nearly exclusively of 1 e ad, Dr. Philips, the great "boss" of the Philips works in Eindhoven, bought a Yu and a Li-Ting with two upright knobs in the Yamanakasale, New York. These vessels, much restored,and repaired also by us, contain 95,4 & Pb and the remainder Sb, An- timonium. I will send you the photographs one of these days. I should say they are Yin, and not Chou. No inseriptions. Dr. Ph. presented them to our Museum. You saw no doubt the pornographic book on bronses by Phyllis Aokerman and you certainly read also the discussion be- tween Bachhofer and Maenchen-Helfen in the Art Bulletin. I have yet not seen Florence Waterbury's book on bronzes. They are very active in Amerioa, re bronzes. It is a great pity that our coun- tryman Dr. Vofite in Calif. sold his bronzes during the war. Now the wonderful slender Hu went via Loo to the Cleveland Museum. Ve donot know what has become of the Menten bronzes. Menten be- came a Nazi and his bronses were brought from a safe in The Hague to perhaps Switzerland. His square Ting with the violet patina is one of the finest vessels in Europe. On the other hand the Dr. A.P. Philips collection in Eindhoven contains now over 20 vessels, some of which are excellent. He bought in N.Y., 1941 when nobody liked to buy something, a very large Huai Ting with cover, quite a splendid piece. It is a piece, now worth oertain- 1y 10:000 $ or more. He paid only 2500 $. In England, where I Was about six weeks ago, the Sir Herbert Ingram collection of vessels must be very important. Next time I'm going to see it. London is still very rich in bronzes. I never gaw the Cull col- leotion(s). What became of the pieoes in Germdy??Hardt?, Oeder?, those of Kämmel's Museum? I am going to publish a large book on Asiatio art in Dutch and Belgian collections (=Stoclet, of course). May I trou- ble you somewhat later with the reading and interpretation of some insoriptions? Ohiefly of Philips pieces? Th you very much in anticipation for your ans- wer, I remain, dear Karlgren, very sincerely, >, yours, 3 RR
