KERAMIC STUDIO 
171 
The decorated Chinese jar (Fig. 5) is shown for several 
reasons. In the first place it is an unusual and interesting 
form. Then the handles are unique. The design, while 
grotesque, is most interesting in spotting and arrangement, 
and the final reason is that the writer would have said with 
certainty that the jar was Peruvian or at least South Ameri- 
can, had it not the word of the Metropolitan Museum that 
it is Chinese. A curious fact in connection with South 
American Indian design, especially Peruvian, is the strong 
resemblance to the Chinese in many instances. 
ART NOTE 
The name of "The Twin City Keramic Club" has been 
changed to "The Minneapolis Keramic Art Club." The 
organization, combining the art workers of two cities proved 
too unwieldly and it seems best to separate the activities. 
St. Paul has not yet organized, but no doubt will at some 
future date. The Minneapolis Club is planning a spring 
exhibition at the Minneapolis Institute of Art which calls 
for at least five new and original pieces. The exhibition 
will open with a reception and every effort will be made to 
put Keramic Art back into the limelight of popular demand. 
The exhibit will open the first of May and continue for two 
weeks.
