KERAMIC STUDIO 
MRS. ANNE T. BROWN 
CHICAGO CERAMIC ART ASSOCIATION 
r I ^HE twenty-sixth annual exhibition of the Chicago 
-*- Ceramic Art Association, held at the Art Institute in 
October, was considered most excellent in design, color 
and execution. Owing to the great interest being shown in 
all work of American artists at this time, the exhibit has 
attracted more than usual attention. 
The Club has worked again the past year under instruc- 
tion in design and color by Mrs. E. L. Humphrey, and has 
had the privilege of monthly criticism by Miss Bennett. 
The President, Mrs. Anne T. Brown, contributed some 
very interesting pieces : a lamp-vase of attractive shape, in 
Green, Blue and Yellow ; an unusual sun-parlor set in Blue, 
Green, Orange and Dull Lavender, consisting of fruit-bowl, 
pitcher and teapot ; a very attractive desk set of letter-rack, 
ink-stand, calendar-holder and blotter corners done in 
Green, Roman and White Golds and Orange Lustre. Several 
Lustre pieces and a flower-bowl in Marblehead Pottery 
added variety and charm to her collection. 
Mrs. Isabelle Kissinger was represented by a Belleek 
pitcher in delightful soft colors; a cereal bowl, Haeger 
Pottery, in a very conventional design in Dull Pink and 
Black ; a Marblehead Pottery violet vase in suitable colors ; 
a small Belleek vase in gold and lustre; a large Satsuma 
paneled bowl, very attractive in its handling ; and a whipped- 
cream bowl decorated with a small oval repeat, which was 
awarded the A. H. Abbott & Co. prize for the Best Table- 
ware Design. 
Mrs. A. A. Frazee, who received the A. H. Abbott & Co. 
prize for the Best Individual Exhibit, had a varied collection 
of much charm and wonderful technique ; an egg service, a 
nut service and a large covered vase being executed in beau- 
tifully laid enamels ; a hand carved jewel box, a Satsuma tea 
set and a square lamp-vase being also noteworthy. 
Mrs. Eugene Phelps showed a most unusual lamp-vase 
in Black and bright, light colors, which was awarded the 
C. F. Nash prize for the Best Individual Piece. Her rose 
bowl, trinket box in Gold and Satsuma bowl were also very 
original in design and handling, and good in workmanship.

charming color and design, and several small pieces in 
Satsuma were very noticeable for unique design and 
excellent treatment. 
Miss Florence Me Cray won the Hasburg Gold prize, by 
her use of beautifully etched Gold on a vase and jardiniere, 
combined with a Matt Brown background. She also placed 
a vase etched in Silver with enamels.
