With this new impetus, kilns in Japan were reorganized and expanded to satisfy the enormous demand. Highly prized, the porcelain was lavishly displayed at the English court of Queen Mary, and in palaces and grand houses throughout Holland, France, and Germany. The more than ninety examples presented here from the collection of Peggy and Roger Gerry in The Metropolitan Museum of Art reflect the development stimulated by the international trade carried on primarily by the Dutch in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Informed by a twentieth- century perspective, the Collection exemplifies a keen awareness of the many crosscurrents of artis- tic sources that spurred the evolution of Japanese porcelain, and offers a recapitulation of the appreciation of Japanese art in the West from the seventeenth century to the present.
