about twelve inches in hight and OF generous capacity
TIE base perfectly plain, but where JOINS the body
of the tankad there is exquisly-chased border OF

mast. making a characteristic handle. The lid of the
tankard is raised by thumb-piece conventionally
suggesting Neptune's trident. Its surface is hand

silver Salad Dish stands next in order. 1t con-
sists of plain oval base upon which four anchors
careessly thrown together with coing cables form
an appropriate support for the oval bowl above. The
fifth and last piece is Chatting Dish for oysters. The
