Luster is one Of the beguil-
ing free-lancers in the field Of
antiques. In its best nantes
tations, it entices the connois-
seur; in any lesser state. it at
tracts hordes of collectors.
One reason for its scarcity,
we have noted, is the satisfac-
ton so many persons flnd in
possessing just one or q few
pieces of lusterware, while con-
centrating their main collect
ing interest in other types of
ceramics.
Thus, 1t is not unusual to
md a luster pitcher perched
among an assemhlage of fine
figurines or glaring duly from
q cabinet Of delicate porcelains.
Some collectors. of course,
like Mrs. William N. Sturte-
want of SO Kalorama circle, be-
come so enraptured of luster
that they acquire the patience
to accumulate a representative
display of colors and designs.
In Mrs. Sturtevant's case, 1t
began when she bought a lus-
ter pitcher in Maine 20 years
ago. She was able to trace its
