swATow GLAZED WARE.
Peculiar crockery from China ThsA
Il characteristics OF the section
from whence IL Comes.

A little treaty port on the Chinese
coast, known as Swatow, has given
its name to an odd variety Of glazed
earthenware, which, long a favorite
in the far east has begun to appear
in the markets OF New York and other
American cities. The name is coinci-
dental, states the New York Post.
Swatow is small place, whose chief
industry is the provisioning Of steam
ships and sailing vessels. But Il is the
port of the big city Of Cho, Chow Foo,
whose population Is said to be mill
lion and half, and whose industries
are famous in the Chinese empire.
Near the latter are inexhaustible beds
of kaolin, blue, gray, and other fine
clays, which have supplied It's kilns
for centuries. Formerly, # exported
its keramic wares overland to Can
ton.
The opening Of Swatow to the "for-
eign devils" diverted this traffic by
degrees 10 the latter port, more es-
pecially that in keramic goods dcs-
tined for export to foreign lands. The
wares in question were exhibited in
the Swatow shops, and found custom
ers first in steamship officers and then
In travellers. The stores flourished and
ere long began TO export on their own
account. In this way the goods came
to be known as Swntow ware.
The foundation Is a gray earthen-
ware with a thick opaque glaze, usual
ly sea-green, and the articles are fash
ioned after, or decorated with, marine
forms, The commonest type is
wall packet made in the shdpe Of
crab, lobster, crayfish, rock cod, carp.
or mullet. The colorature varies. In
the best specimens an attempt is made
to reproduce the natural appearance
OF the animal initiated. In the larger
number the glazing is in two shades,
sea-green and sepia. Other styles
Of glazing are in seaweed brown and
crude vermilion suggesting the hue
Of boiled lobster. The modelling,
though coarse, is strong and effective.
Upon higher plane are wall pockets
shaped like vases, and also bowls,

Silence followed the conclusion Of his
