OF Hts Works to Troy. OF
Mr.. Henry Clews OF New York City.
The return Of Gen. Lafayette to the United
States IN 1924, by invitation from the Amcri-
can Congress, afforded English potters an OPP
portunity to exercise their art in the produc-
ton Of IA great variety Of souvenir or memorial
designs in china, In commemoration of that
important event. and these pieces found a
ready sale among the patriotic admirers of the
great F%renchman throughout the States. The
country was flooded with pitchers bearing
crude portraits of tho MARQUIS, surrounded
witt Mandatory inscriptions: welcome to Laf-
ayette. the Nations Guest and Cur Country's
Glory" Republics are not always migrate
full" Gen. Lafayette. welcome to the Land
of Liberty" plates with ~vignette of the hon.
ored visitor. sometimes associated with the
head of Washington. printed in black or pink:
plates bearing dark blue views of the ship Cad
mus. in which he zane to revisit the scenes of
his former triumphs. and still others. orna-
mented In the same rich color. with views Of
La Grange, his ancestral residence In France.
Among The best of these devices, and by far
the most popular. was a representation Of his
landing at Castle Garden. which appeared on
the pieces of table services and toilet sets.
The vessel bearing the General and his suite
sighted Staten Island on the 10Th of August.
but the distinguished visitor did not land in
New York city until the following day, when.
amid the acclamations Of 80. 1000 people and
the firing of cannon. he was welcomed to our
shores by the military and diGniteries Of our
nation and municipality. This spirited scene

The ware made at Troy, Ind, does not seem

ably because the efforts OF the manufacturer

Mr.. James Clews possessed the knowledge and

and he was forced To use the inferior grades
which he had at command. For that reason
he confined his operations To experimenting
In common wares, which must have proved
irksome and disappointing 10 him. 1 6l not
md among the wares produced at the Troy
works ANYTHING approaching his English goods.
No attempt seems To have been made to re.
produce the dark blue designs which had es-
tRblished his reputation as a master potter in
England, and the only fully authenticate
piece made by him in this country seems to
be a small vase or jar Of deep yellow ware, with
no pretenCe at decoration save u slender black
wreath around the neck and a broad zone
around the body colored IN alternating dag

the quality OF the body IL inferior, however,

not view the piece without experiencing a feel

Its maker should have been SO suddenly
crushed, by circumstances beyond his control,
after emharking in a new venture which prom
ised AZ the outset So much Of success. This
probably unique and much valued example OF
Mr.. Clews's Troy ware has been secured for
the collection Cf American pottery and pOnCe-

The manufacturer OF the pieces bearing this
print was Mr., James Clews OF Cobridge, Eng
land, one Of the foremost potters OF his time.
The design, which, Of course, could not have
been executed until after the occurrence OF the
event which II represents, seems to have been
produced for several years afterward. and the
demand for II continued long after Lafayette
returned 10 Europe in 1928, and consequently
the original copper plate engraving from which
the view was printed must have become much
worn In time, which necessitSted several re-
engravinRs OF the plate. An error seems TO
have been made by the engraver OF one OF the
later designs, with Characteristic ignorance OF
American history, as We lind on one of these
