The first exhibition in this country of a collection of contemporary Japanese and English pottery and weaving will be opened December 6 by the Harvard Society for Contemporary Art, in its exhibition rooms in the Harvard Cooperative Building.

This collection, which is beginning an American tour with the Harvard show, includes examples of lacquer work as done today by Japanese potters, and many pieces made in imitation of ancient methods of glazing. The Oriental work and the work of English weavers has been brought direct from Japan and England.

This show, the third of the year, will be followed at intervals throughout the term by more exhibits of contemporary art. Exhibits which have been announced include paintings by Margaret Sargent McKelan: the work of five Boston watercolorists, Chase, Cutter, Hopkinson, Pepper, and Hopkins; contemporary Mexican art.
