JVlr. Charles Volkmar, one of our pioneer jjotters, fonuerly 
of Corona, L. I., now of Metuchen, N. J., where he is makino; 
tiles for interior decoration, was represented in the Art Palace 
not only by 15 pieces in his flowing and mat glazes but by the 
work of his pupil Miss Jane Hoagland, who exhibited three 
pieces with incised decoration. Mr. Volkmar keeps always a 
style of his own not to be confounded with the work of new- 
comers in the art. He received a bronze medal at St. Louis 
It should be mentioned here that Leon Volkmar, Mr. 
Charles Volkmar's son, is now teacher of pottery at the In- 
dustrial School of the Permsylvania Museum and that the 
work of his pupils is most interesting, as will be seen from 
the accompanying illustration. However the pieces illustrated 
in this photograph were not exhibited in St. Louis.

at St. Louis was creditable in the extreme, her work has been 
so well illustrated in a former number of Keramic Studio
