Par John Ayers
Parution: 2004

Exhibition catalogue from the Vergottis collection of Chinese porcelain at the Foundation de l’Hermitage in Lausanne, Switzerland in January 2003 including Celadon Wares, Ming Tomb Figures, Ming Imperial Porcelains, Blanc de Chine Porcelains. Also included are porcelains from the late Ming and Qing dynasties, namely: Blue-and-White, Decorated in Coloured Enamels of the « Famille Verte », Decorated in « Famille Verte » Enamels on the Biscuit, Yellow and Green-Glazed, Coral-Red-Glazed, White-Glazed, Turquoise-Glazed, « Famille Rose », Blue-Glazed and Copper-Red-Glazzed. « Collectors of oriental ceramics today have an enviable range of choice, but more than some others the Vergottis collection conveys the impression of a very personal taste. It is composed almost entirely of the colourful porcelains made in China during the eighteenth century, and especially of the monochrome glazes that are renowned for their constant purity of tint, and for complementing perfectly the delicate symmetry of the forms they cover. The display of these wares in the newly designed gallery at l’Hermitage in Lausanne in January 2003 gave a brilliant public airing to a collection that was made solely for private pleasure, and bears witness to its owner’s special appreciation of porcelain. » excerpt from the introductory text « The Vergottis Collection of Chinese Porcelain at the Fondation de l’Hermitage in Lausanne » by John Ayers.
