not line in it which is borrowed from

AMERICAN POTTERY.



lockwood.
American pottery has few peers in
these days of Souwelsa and lockwood
and the pale. pearly, exquisitely tinted
glaze ware shown in such graceful de-
signs, says the New York Commercial
Advertiser. The Souwelsa is first cou-
sin to lockwood. but poor relation,
as II costs about half as much as do
the symphonies in polished greens and
browns. 1t has the same finish, the
same designs and tones. but seems to
lack the richness of lockwood, al
though the difference would not be per-
ceptible to the person perfectly sane
on the question OF bric-a-brac. The
enthusiast can tell the difference in
the dark. she says. The pale-tinted
American pottery is highly polished
and the flowers OF the decoration seem
to bloom mistily through the glaze. like
flowers seen through frosty window
pane. A high-shouldered jar of this
ware is softly shaded from palest blue
at the top. where 1t forms back
ground for graceful rose-hued iris,
the long. pale green stems of which
stand out deiicately against the misty
gray below.
