THE Editor of Keramic Studio being unable to attend the 
exhibition of the Ceramic Guild of the N. S. C, we have 
had to rely on reports from various sources, which, however, 
cover the ground. We give below the varying accovints of the 
newspapers, which are especially interesting as giving different 
view points. As will be seen, the exhibit of the Guild is practi- 
cally made up of the work of Miss Mason and Mrs. O'Hara, about 
the only members of the old N. Y. S. K. A. left. The following 
account is from Miss Horsfall, a pupil of Miss Maud Mason, 
and secretary of the N. Y. S. K. A.

Ceramic Guild of the National Society of Craftsmen, no exhibi- 
tion of Ceramics has been as important as that forming part of 
the Annual Exhibition in the galleries of the National Arts Club. 
While all the exhibitors were not members of the Guild, the most 
conspicuous advance appears to have been among these earnest 
craftworkers. From the studio of Miss Maud M. Mason fifty- 
five pieces of overglaze were shown. Miss Mason has experi-

the hard line often characteristic of enamels. Choosing Belleek 
pieces of pleasing form, she unites strength and variety in design 
with charming color and masterly execution. A salad set in 
orange and black, a Bar-le-duc set in blue, pink, green and orange, 
a plate in fruit design, are admirable examples of the artistic in 
table ware. Several bowls of beautiful color and design, a tall 
flagon in lustre, a tea-set in gold on French china, are all import- 
ant in marking the advance in this department of ceramics in re- 
cent years. 
"Mrs. Dorothea Warren O'Hara has likewise been success- 
ful in using relief enamel. Her designs show the influence of
