The Korean water dropper did not appear on the list of objects that Ms. Glass sent to Hin-cheung Lovell in advance of the 1978 visit, and must have been a later purchase. On August 31, Robert Ray, proprietor of an antique store in Alexandria, informed Louis Cort that he had sold the water dropper to Ms. Glass, having acquired it from an American general, who himself had received it as a gift whilst in Korea (according to Curatorial Remark 2, Louise Cort, December 6, 1991, in the object record).[2] See note 1.[3] See note 1.[4] See Freer Gallery of Art Accession List, Collections Management Office.
