port” (Longport, Staffordshire), that 
word “Davenport” being impressed with 
an anchor on the back of the piece, the 
name “Amoy" being printed there in blue 
in an oblong enclosure of -the same color. 
The last charming bit of old English ware, 
the third plate on the second row, is also 
a blue and white combination, the blue 
being of a lighter shade than the one just 
described. It has for its design a stone- 
towered church in the distance, a farm¬ 
house in the sylvan scene, and two tillers 
of the soil chatting at the opened barnyard 
gate, while the sheep and fowl in the fore¬ 
ground complete the genre picture. This 
treasure was a gift from a descendant of 
A baker’s dozen of Old English plates 
an old New Hampshire family. It is a 
piece from their large set of family dishes 
and one of a double dozen of plates, as the 
old-time number was twenty-four of each 
size. How well suited such provisions of 
numbers would be to the destructive ten¬ 
dencies of the present incumbents of our 
kitchens! 
A pink plate of much beauty of color 
begins the third line, the only one of that 
hue in the Baker’s Dozen. It has a de¬ 
sign of urns and trees, a bit of water on 
which sails a boat, and a group of people in 
the foreground. 
The beautiful “Coalport” plate, which is 
tlie one next brought to our notice, com¬ 
bines the reds, greens and browns of “the 
Indian Tree” pattern. It bears impressed 
on its reverse side the Roman numerals
