The Dandelionlamp has leaf, stems and puft ball in base and shade suggesting the 
flower growth. The morning glory shade gives quite a Japanese suggestion— pale dull 
blue ground with opalescent tones— flowers in deep blue, made with extremely fine 
leading, almost like wire. Has been much admired by Mr. Freer who compared it 
with an old Japanese screen. 
TECO PORCELAINS WITH CRYSTALLINE GLAZES 
TECO WARE 
To Mr. Gates of Terra Cotta, 111., is due the credit of being 
the first to put upon the Ameri.can market crystalline glazes 
of the type developed abroad and of extraordinarity large 
crystallizations. While Rookwood had experimented in cr3'stal- 
line glazes as early as 1900 and had made its tiger eye and gold 
stone effects, these were not generally recognized as crystalline 
glazes. At St. Louis the Teco pottery's exhibit included a 
small case of these crystallizations which were interesting in 
the extreme. 
While these ciystalline glazes made at the Teco pottery 
have not the depth and fine texture of the Sevres, Roj^al 
Copenhagen and Rorstrand crystallizations, probably because 
the porcelain body is not so fine, nor the variety of the 
Royal Berlin, thej'' are still extremeh' interesting and beau- 
tiful and a novelty for the lover of ceramics. The main 
output of the Teco potteries however, is composed of vases, 
lamps, etc., in a mat green of fine texture and of original, 
though rather complicated shapes. Mr. Gates also makes the 
largest garden vases and architectural potterj^ in the United 
States, some of the garden vases being four feet high.

r-- LEAGUE NOTES 
WE are requested to give a more explicit statement re- 
garding our two exhibitions. They are: first, the ex- 
hibition at Portland, Oregon, at the Lewis and Clark Centen- 
nial, beginning June 1st, 1905 and continuing until November 
1st, 1905. And second, the Comparative Travelling Exhibi- 
tion which will be held at The Art Institute, Chicago, from 
May 9th to May 24th, 1905, inclusive. 
For Portland we have asked for pieces already on hand, 
more plainly speaking, those accepted by the jury for St. 
Louis, and those which should have been submitted for that 
exhibition. We know those pieces to be worthy our members 
and a credit to the National League of Mineral Painters. 
This exhibition need not comprise a great number of pieces, 
but should be composed of \exy choice articles. They 
would then be installed in the Art Palace without question. 
Announcements concerning this will follow later. 
Our second exhibition will be composed of the problems 
of otir educational course for this year. The results eman- 
ating from these, are to be brought together at this opening 
exhil^ition, as heretofore, after which it will be started on its
