The Musee Adrien Dubouche at

seven thousand pieces which il con-
tains will enable us TO form an idea OF
the history OF pottery from the earliest
times down to the present day. We will

material and decorative. All these

most part covered with "a surface glaze.

piled to tiom, and this application OF
heat depends uPon the materials which
are used and upon the product which
IL is wished TO obtain. The more com-
plete the vitrifcation, the more
precious is the aspect OF the object.
Take, for instance, u piece Of glass,
piece of rock-crystal and diamond;
place them side by side, and compare
the three objects and the sensa-
tions which they produce on
the eve. The diamond will
evidently give the greatest pleasure.
WhyP Because it reflects more lumin-
Gus rays than rocl-crystal or glass,
and the eye being organized to enjoy
light, receives from the diamond q
greater sensation of pleasure. But
why does the diamond reflect moro
luminous rays than the other two OBJ
jectsp Because the diamond is moro
compact, more dense, more homogene-
Gus, and il is more homogeneous be-
cause it has been transmitted at a high
er temperature. Now IL we substitute
for these trans-lucid objects ceramic
objects, we shall find that the sensation
of pleasure conveyed by them to the
eye varies according rs the vitrifca-
tion of the piece is moro or less COM
plete or, in other words, the higher
the temperature ut which the piece has
been transmitted, the more analogous
will its aspect be to that of a precious
stone. We may base our material
classification of ceramics on this sci
entifc fact, and assign them a grade
accordingly, and this classification we
shall find justified by the instructive
and traditional preference of connois-
seurs, who can imagine nothing finer
than that old Chinese translucid porce-
lain which may be compared 10 jade;
than that blue porcelain which a Chi
nese poet has described as ''blue like
the sky, thin as paper, brilliant as a
mirror;n or than that white porcelain
of which another Chinese poet cele-
brates the "paintive sonority," and
the "whireness surprising the white
ness of snow. "-1&eodure CtjLd, in
