Sh,ps IN decoration are among the
most popular Of features, and during
the Summertime gain decided impetus
which carries the boats u fun san INTO
the WINTER decorative schemes. Summer
sports and pleasures are then revived

their ornamental purpose
One Of the interesting WAYS IN when
the ships are 50 used is III the decora-

are indeed being featured increasingly,
and every enc who has old pieces OF

Occasionally one comes across rare

THREE CHOICE EXAMPLES OF CHINA DISHES SHIPS

One reason why there are so many
American ships pictured on old plates,
pitchers and other china and pottery
apparently comes from the old custom
of having pictures Of ships sent abroad
to be copied on them. Evidently ship
owners like to keep their ships IN sight
even when sailing in far waters, ana
one good way was to have them sail
the TRANQUIL seas of tableware Sea
captains also quite evidently enjoyed
finding pictures of the ships over which
they ruled waiting on Sidehoard ana
table when they spent the time at home
between voyages, and owners had the
ship china made 10 present To their
social and business friends. A quaint
cream pitcher of mine is treasured be-
cause on 1t is pictured whalerS at

These ship china and porcelains e$e
now made use Of decoratlvely. They
make delightful dishes TO stand on old
Dutch dreSsers which themselves are
Of early settler days in this country, or
copies Of them. and they are featured
In collectors treasures when the china
itself is choice.
Modern semi-porcelains with ship
decoration are made use of Just as any
dishes that follow a style. They are par
ticularlv good for seashore cottages
slliting the historic atmosphere Of old
style houses especially.
