ure of Ceres, who, aided by number of
cupids. is occupied in showering her
gifts of fruitfnlhess and plenty upon the
earth. Round tle center of the globe
runs friezc divided into four panels, on
which more cupids are seen busted in the
pursuits typical Of the four seasons. The
subjects are separated by brackets, on
which are other figures emblcmatic of
splendid frieze, on which are represented
as many as sixsy cupids occupied in rural
work. The pliiash supporting the whole
is ornamented III keeping with the gen
eral design. The color of the globe is a
subdued greco called celadon, the figures
are china bisque and the other decora-
tions white glazed china From the pc
