A collection of European l8th century porcelain is the most prominent feature of the gift, which also includes Russian porcelain from the early 19th century, some objects of glass and silver, and textiles from the 18th century. The magnificent present serves to turn the Museum's collection of porcelain - one of the notable specialities that give the Department of Applied Art its particular character - into a greater whole. This book has been produced to celebrate Aron Andersson by making the porcelain collection, so dear to him, known to other lovers of porcelain. Aron Andersson himself also made a generous contribution towards its publication. Aron Andersson has always been in close touch with the Museum. Some of his earliest friends and fellow-students likewise found their way to Nationalmuseum. Two Netherlandish paintings are included in the donation to commemorate Kjell Boström, a member of this circie and at his untimely death a curator at the Department of Paintings and Sculpture. Our gratitude goes to Aron Andersson for his splendid donation. Not just for the material values he has entrusted to the Museum but also because, in doing so, he entitles us to treasure the memory of an unusually wise, good and warm-hearted colleague." - - - (Nationalmuseums skriftserie, N.S., 3.).
