A NEW ORNAMENTAL MANUFACTURE. 



There has long existed at Milan, in Italy, studios where are manufactured 

 very artistic ornaments for lawns, terraces, piazzas, (fee, which are much esteemed 



throughout Europe. We lately 

 saw some of these articles at a 

 country-seat near New York, and 

 took some pains to discover the 

 agent for their sale, whom we found 

 to be G. Alliinola, Esq., at the store 

 of Sturgis, Shaw & Co., 52 Broad- 

 way, where some very fine speci- 

 mens are now on sale, consisting of 

 vases of elegant forms, very higlily 

 ornamented, see Fig. 1, and carv-

ings pierced for fountains, of which 

 Fig. 2 will give a good idea. 



The material is secondary lime- 

 stone and breccia, of a hard cha- 

 racter and good color, capable at 

 the same time of being readily 

 worked, and yet of withstanding 

 the elements so thoroughly that 

 houses are frequently constructed 

 of it in Italy. The artists have 

 exhibited great taste in forming 

 these ornaments, among which, be- 

 sides statues and statuettes, there 

 are tables, and small single and 

 double chairs, and even long sofas
