ANCIENTS KNEW OF GLAZING
Proof That Early Inhabitants Of Mex
leo Used Process in tho Manu-
faeture Of Pottery.

The discovery by Henry C. Mercer
Of Daylestown, Pa. that the ancient
Inhabitants of Mexico used a glazing
process in the manufacture Of their
pottery has revolutionized the views
Of ceramic experts at the University
Of Pennsylvania, and may lead. says
American Art News. to the discovery
Of beds of clay suitable for use today.
Mr.. Mercer, who is an expert on til
ing and a former curator of the Uni
versity museum, during recent study
of Mexican potteries at the museum,
had his attention called to the var-
ance in workmanship in certain col
lections. He promptly classified the
potteries as possessing two different
kinds of clay. and was surprised to
find that distinct glaze was still
apparent
The ancient Egyptians. says Mr..
Mercer, did not glaze their works. the
Chinese adopting this precaution at a
later date to make their vessels i'm
pervious to water. Civilization had
been established by this time, how
ever, and the use of the glazing art
by prehistoric Mexicans may unfold
interesting ceramics.
