The 6 Su pots are part of the exhibit on Eastern Arts at the Sackler
Gallery. They
will be there for a month or so. The two pots copied in reduced scale for
BCI and WBFF
are copies of pots in the exhibit.
Knowing Alan, he may have his book on these pots and can give their origins.
I lent mine
out for a bit.
Both BCI and WBFF still have pots available for purchase.

It is not really in the Smithsoniancollection but there was an extra
exhibition on antique pots owned by Mr. Su in the Smithsonian for the
occasion.Openingnight was Friday before the WBFF and I don't remember how
long the pots will remain in the museum.

Okay, do we know anything about the pot in Mr. Su's collection? Age?
Origin?
Etc?
Interesting that the Smithsonian web sites don't mention this exhibition.
