delicate enamel. Nine years was the
maker of this amazing piece at work be-

hammer How many bowls were destroyed
before perfect one was obtained only tho
maker could tell, but for his perseverance,

plates and great variety of trinket5
which in any of the European sections
would cost hundreds of dollars.
