jugs and jardinieres, and will represent
the lines OF ware which the pottery is
producing for its regular trade and SO
successfully that orders are well ahead
OF production.
1t is claimed for the Warwick ware
that it is equal to the best foretgn-made
OF its grade, and this exhibit goes to
Chicago in the confidence that tho
claim will be there fully established TO
the satisfaction Of any doubling minds.
In style, cotoring and finish II is ex-
peGted that these articles will rank

ing softly without harsh line. No. 8
is the Niagara form with shaded scroll

the top, colored naturally. The pieces
are finely finished with gold tracery on
a matt, which is to say, u dry, ivory

ducing chaste and rich effect. An
other roccoCo dinner set is in Indian

white ground. Another style shows
underglaze blue begonia leaves on a
white and olouded ground. There is a
magnolia on cream ground, a hand.
some imitation OF terra Gotta clouded In
gold and a superb thing OF drake.neck
green ground set of with gold work.
Jugs arc in variety OF design and
treatment. Something very artistic is
an underglazo blue body, upper part in
ivory with graceful sprays OF flowers
thrown on, an original Warwick pro.
duction. Other jugs have softly tinted
grounds in blended gold.
The exhibit is in the highest degree
creditable to tho American pottery in.
dustry and to the city In which it was
produced. 1t represents character OF
ware which only few years since had
to sail under foreign flag to find an
American market. 1t Is n satisfaction
to know that Wheeling has borne n full
share in the homo development OF this
useful and artistic industry, and estab.
lshed name for the beauty and OK
celleuCe OF her pottery ware.
