Pottery Co., whose artist, Jacques Sicard, contributes a splendid 
luster tablet; the Pope-Gosser China Co.; the Roseville Pottery Co.; 
D. F. Haynes & Co.; the Warwick China Co.; the Goodwin Pottery 
Co.; the International China Co.; the Colonial Co.; the Willets

Thompson Pottery Co.; the Edwin Bennett Pottery Co.; the Norse 
Pottery Co.; the Van Briggle Pottery Co.; the Gates Pottery Co.; 
J. S. Taft & Co.; and the Wheatley Pottery Co. <A section of the 
southeast wall case contains specimens of the earlier Rookwood 
pottery, the Clifton art pottery, the Grueby Faience Co., the 
Brower Pottery, and Mayer Bros. The collection of contempo- 
raneous American pottery is interesting but scarcely representative. 
It shows, however, that American potters are producing specimens 
of great dignity and worth, which will increase in value and histori- 
cal importance as records of art. 
The south side of the gallery also holds a small exhibit of American 
glass, notably a complete exposition of the manufacture of cut glass 
from the Libbey Glass Co.; a quantity of cut, engraved, and other- 
wise decorated glass from the Dithridge Flint Glass Co.; fine art 
pieces from the Union Glass Co.; Pomona glass from the New Eng- 
land Glass Works; specimens from the Fostoria Glass Co.; and won- 
derful examples of Tiffany favrile glass. Two candle shades of 
English glass about one century old, the gift of Mrs. E. L. Mc- 
Adory, are shown in a case on the west side of the gallery. Above 
the wall case are displayed a glazed terra-cotta plaque attributed 
to Luca della Robbia, lanterns and vases of Japanese work, Cyprian 
vases, etc., and at the entrance to the gallery are a large Doulton 
vase and an Italian terra-cotta fountain. 
Exhibited elsewhere than in the gallery, but belonging to the 
division of ceramics, are a number of pieces mostly of large size and 
some of considerable value. Among them are the following: A pair 
of centennial memorial vases, presented by the Messrs. Haviland, of 
Limoges, France, in 1876; an allegorical mosaic, composed of 900 
tiles of Limoges faience, representing the genius of man dominating 
and utilizing fire and water, designed by Bracquemond and made by 
the Messrs. Haviland; a pulpit and font, and a pair of sculptured 
tablets, in relief, representing Christ in Gethsemane and the cruci- 
fixion, all in terra cotta, made by H. Doulton & Co., of Lambeth, 
England; a mosaic reredos by Minton, Hollins & Co., of Stoke-upon- 
Trent, England; and one of the famous peachblow vases and a 
celadon porcelain vase of the Yung Chéng period (1723-1735), 
gifts of the Chinese Government.
