NEW POTTERY EFFECTS.
SIr. Rembrandt Steele's Success, with
His KiIns.

Mr.. Rembrandt Steele is experimenting in
enameling pottery after a new method Of
his own. He has his kilns at Pennsylvania
and Sixteenth streets Mr. Steele has
studied decorative art in Munich and Paris.
and has inherited strong art tendencies
from his father, Mr. Il. c. Steele, the we'll
known artist. In this new pottery Mr..
Steele does his own throwing, or shaping.
Of articles, and his own decorating. He has
just completed his third experiment, and the
result has proven that his undertaking will
not be in vain. The articles are of the
simplest form, and the decoration is in rich
colors. He has done work in the under
glaze, but this new method is a step be-
yond, forming the enamel with the coloring.
The effects are notified and quite out of
the ordinary. The finest piece is a small jar
or vase in deep blue and green. The colors
have melted into each other, giving soft
ness and irregularity to the lines that is
extremely artistic. The shading is pure,
and the finish is clear and exquisite. An
other piece is in the deepest of carnelian
shades, and in this there is an evenness
that approaches perfection. The piece is
symphony in coloring, and the quality OF
the enameling is very fine. There are two
large vases, that have q conventional pat
tern embellshng their surfaces, and still
other pieces. Some of the articles have only
a small part that is perfect, but none are
absolute failures. What MIR. Steele has ac-
pathy of his father
When the method is perfected Mr.. Steele
will have u style of pottery that is unlike
anything made in the world. and something
entirely original in design. The desire has
been to preserve the greatest simplicity,
both in the shape of the pottery and in its
decoration, and to perfect the process of
enameling will bring to the art world new
line of work. Mr. Steele is also originating
decorative articles for houses. the latest
being a lamp of bronze, with the base set
in a mosaic of metals and the shade made
of translucent, polished sea stones. The
sea pod and moth care used in the design.
Mr. Steeles idea in house decoration is not
to follow the conventional styles, but to
originate unique features and complete each
room according to a single design. His idea
in originating the pottery is TO have some
thing artistic as well as novel and beautiful.
The result of his experiments in the enamel
