One of the most artisticauy attractive
homes in Washington is that of Commander
and Mrs. Dickens, who possess, iii addition
to many other souvenirs of travel, at home
ana abroad, the finest private collection
of American historical china in the Worid.
Their cefamic art gallery Is represented
by hundreds Of plates and platteis iHaU
almost cover the dark blue walls oi the
dining room, a nd these, together with
priceless array of tea pots, cups, pitch
ers, and cream jugs, set in glass CABINETS
around the room represent, with but Few
exceptions, samples from every set OF
Presidential china that mas been used IN
the white House from Washingtons cay
to the present period.
The predominant color Of the memorial
china which studs the walls is oil old
Stafrordshre ware; the rims floWefed IN
blue and the centers pictured with some
Incident, custom, or building associated
with the history of America in the past.
Interspersed with the Staffordshire blue
are willow ware effects in sober brown
with an occasional platter whose scarlet
or gilt tracery gives glow OF artistic
coloring to the entire room.
Many OF the samples on the cabinet
shelves bear the potter stamp OF extinct
kilns. and apart from their value as relics
are beautiful in shape and tinting as
specimens OF ceramic skill.
Commander and Mrs. Dickens possess
many interesting reminders or cruising
in South American waters, the experiences
OF which Mrs. Dickens has so cleyerly
embodied in her book, Along Shore with
a Man-of- War" but their unique ex-
hibition OF historical china which gives
gliInpses such as books cannot give of the
dead and gone heads Of our nation and
the times in which they lived, is their
chief treasure, and the collecting Of
which they modestly set down IS their
fad.
