At the Freer|Sackler, we use the ObjContext.Style field, and then since there are some variations, use a matching thesaurus keyword. Also recorded are keywords for "earthenware" and "stoneware" as well as glaze types. Very useful.

Subject: cataloguing Asian ceramics ware and type in TMS

For collections with Asian ceramics that include ware and type (such as Jingdezhen ware or Arita ware, Ko-Imari type), which field(s) do you use to catalogue the ware and type?

Thank you -

Ella
