ANCIENTS KNEW OF GLAZING
Proof That Early Inhabitants Of Mex

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 discQyfry
Of beds Of clay suitable for use ".
Mr.. Mercer. who is an expert WITH
ing and former curator Of the Uni

Of Mexican potteries at the museum.
had his attention called to the vari-
ance in workmanship in certain col
lections. He promptly classified the
potteries as possessing two different
kinds OF clay, and was surprised 10
find that a distinct glaze was IN
apparent
The ancient Egyptians, says NV
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.
