Article is long enough, well-supported by secondary sources, photographs all appear to be either properly sourced from public domain collections or uploaded by their photographers; no copyvio concerns. Regarding the hook, is it possible to reword to provide better context for the quote from Gillman's Penn Museum lecture? "...one of the most important groups of ceramic sculpture because...?" I think providing such context will be better at grabbing viewers when the article is featured. Nmillerche (talk) 01:19, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
- Not in the hook character limit. And his quote doesn't immediately go on to give a short reason (the full talk is over an hour). Johnbod (talk) 01:32, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
