FRANK R. OASTLER AND THOMAS F. KEATING, EXECUTORS AT UNRESTRICTED PUBLIC SALE ON THE DATES HEREIN STATED THE SALE WILL BE CONDUCTED BY MR. THOMAS E. KIRBY AND HIS ASSISTANT, MR. OTTO BERNET, OF THE AMERICAN ART ASSOCIATION, MANAGERS MADISON SQUARE SOUTH, NEW YORK . 1915 par THE AMERICAN ART ASSOCIATION DESIGNS ITS CATALOGUES AND DIRECTS ALL DETAILS OF ILLUSTRATION TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY WILLIAM CHURCHILL OASTLER When William Churchill Oastler died last March at the ripe age of eighty-four, he had devoted many years to the collecting of Chinese porcelains. He was a native of Birmingham, England. After he came to this country he was associated, as an advisory engineer, with important railways. It is said to have been largely upon his advice that steel rails were first substituted here for the old cast iron variety. Frigenp oF Mr. ALTMAN But his activities as an engineer did not interfere with his love of collecting Chinese porcelains. In the notable loan collection of these beautiful objects held some years ago by Messrs. Duveen Brothers, the Oastler cabinets were well represented, for Mr. Oastler was regarded as a connoisseur of refined taste and sound judgment. He was a close friend of the late Benjamin Altman, and the two often conferred together and submitted to each other’s criticism many of their prospective purchases of Chinese porcelains. The Oastler collection numbers some 800 items and includes beautiful blue and white in soft paste and hard paste porcelains ; single color pieces, among which are rare peachbloom, claire-de- lune, sang-de-beuf, yellow and celadon. ‘There are also many important decorated pieces, including K’ang-hsi, famille verte; Yung Chéng, famille rose; and finely embellished Ch’ien-lung specimens. Of blanc de Chine there are some unusually fine ex- amples. ‘Iwo statues of Buddha, of carved and gilt wood, from an old Japanese temple are included. The collection is well known. Besides, it is possible to recall several of the pieces in the Duveen exhibition. There they figured on an equal footing with loans from the cabinets of “Mr. J. foe ie. A.B, W.,”’ “Mr. M. J. P.,” “Mr. E. J. B.,” and others, besides pieces contributed by Messrs. Duveen Brothers themselves, and by this time long since passed into important American collections. Many of the examples of white Chinese porcelains were loaned by “Mr. W. C. 0.” (Mr. Oastler). There were at least eight, including the white ovoid vase, with delicate engraved designs in cloud forms under the perfect glazing; the tall, white, graceful baluster vase, with unique raised decoration under the soft glaz- ing, and showing trees, flowers and animals, the latter with short horns; and the pair of ovoid shaped rice grain vases with an un- usually fine representation of the so-called lace pattern. More OastierR PorcELAINS In famille verte the Oastler collection should contain notable examples. Mr. Oastler had among green pieces a tall globular bottle with a long, slender neck and decorated with translucent enamel colors of a lovely kind. Green arabesque foliage and red blossoms were conspicuous in the decoration of the body. The neck was encircled with a palm design and the shoulder carried a dragon. Typical colors of the famille verte palette also showed on a large oviform vase with trumpet shaped neck, the design a composition depicting an episode from a Chinese novel. In this episode the hero is pursued by rival leaders, when suddenly a great chasm opens before his enemies and stays their pursuit. Vigorously rendered flowering peonies and other plants grow- ing among rockwork, also a phcenix bird, or Imperial Feng- Huang, in brilliant plumage, were conspicuous features in the decoration of another large famille verte vase m the Oastler col- lection. So-called “gift objects” showed on a large square jar- diniére.. Finally, there should be mentioned a tall vase of slender biberon shape, with a narrow neck. This is described as a dense _ kaolin porcelain, decorated in transparent enamels over the glaze, with the design underneath outlined in cobalt blue. There are various large conventional blossoms in the arabesque border mo- tive. The shoulder shows phenix birds amid decorative foliage. Such were some of the chief pieces belonging to Mr. Oastler when Messrs. Duveen Brothers held their exhibition, and doubtless all or most of them still will be found in the collection when it is placed on view in the American Art Galleries—Gusrave Kopst, in the New York Herald, January 17, 1915.
