less expensive.

castle and trees appear as in the bot¬ 
tom of the cup, with the addition of a 
Gothic archway through which the rider 
has just come. The fourth cup on the 
top row is a Chelsea one, with purplish- 
blue flowers in raised work on a white 
ground, as is the one below it on the sec¬ 
ond shelf, with the addition of a little 
tracery of gold lustre added to the flowers. 
Beginning with the second row is a 
gilt-and-white china cup and saucer with 
graceful handle and bands of gold with 
the spring pattern. Then follow the two 
in blue without handles, the first with 
smooth rims of cup and saucer, has sixteen 
radiating sections in the saucer and thir¬ 
teen in the cup (a baker’s dozen). It 
bears the impressed mark of Alcock, one 
of the Staffordshire potters and “Oriental, 
Stone” and the word, “Scinde” in a blue- 
bordered ellipse. The one next it has 
“Davenport” impressed with an anchor 
and the word, “Amoy” in small blue plat¬ 
ter-shaped design and the same number of 
sections as in the Alcock piece. The rims 
of the Davenport one are slightly scalloped 
Thirteen of the old English tea cups that have 
the advantage of being attractive and rare. 
in both pieces. As the Chelsea piece which 
follows was described below, we go on to 
the last row, which begins with a lovely 
pink, green and gold lustre cup and 
saucer, with pinkish-gold band and moun¬ 
tain scenery, with deer in the foreground 
on the saucer, and the same general scene 
with equestrienes and pedestrienes in the 
place of the grazing deer and doe. The 
cup and saucer following the pink-lustre 
one is blue and white, of the Staffordshire 
class, and shows little white, except inside 
the cup. It has an Oriental picture on it 
with temples, palms and a loaded camel, 
with floral design also. The King of Cups 
is next in line, and while the Colonial tea 
drinkers acquiesced in the size of the “Cor- 
nelia-and-Her-Jewels” one, they would 
make obeisance to this generous cup of 
the days of our forefathers, holding as it 
does more than half a pint. The modest 
little calico blue and white combination 
next the last in the collection has a deep 
border »in and outside, with urn and “cat¬ 
tle on a thousand hills” in the bottom of 
the cup, while the thirteenth is a pink, 
green, gold and white lustre piece of pink 
flowers, with narrow gold rim. J. W. C.
