KERAMIC STUDIO 
tilled style. Colors are in the pastel shades of grey, green and 
pink* 
The F. G. Coover Company exhibited a tile with an il- 
luminated proverb, which is quite unique in its way, and so 
beautiful in T its sentiment that we think it well worthy of men- 
tion. It is'framed in an artistic little hard wood frame, with 
mat surface. 
No. 937, Mrs. Geo. Emmons showed a pleasing design and 
color scheme on the cover of a small box, which is done in the 
greens mostly, with a little touch of pink, lavender and orange, 
and a very striking accent of black. She showed several other 
pieces of quiet merit, but handled in a dainty style. 
No. 872, Miss Liebolt exhibited an attractive square 
Jewel Box in Satsuma with a geometrical decoration, well 
balanced and equally well thought out, as to color scheme. 
Mrs. Gale had q\iite a collection of pieces, all of which 
showed good thought in design and color balance. 
No. 965, Mrs. Le Roy T, Stewart, showed one of the well- 
designed geometric box patterns. The center motif about 
the knob in gold-red, and blues, is clever and pleasing. 
No. 961, Mrs. Kissinger, student of the Art Institute, 
exhibited a plate which is most delicate in colors, buff, green 
and gold lines on the beautiful surface of the china, three 
clusters of flowers and leaves held together by lines. 
No. 953, Mr. Otto Trepte, had a Candlestick and Shade, 
semi Renaissance pattern in dark, blue and gold on lemon 
yellow ground; full of vigour and up-to-date. 
No. 978, Mr. John Franklin Butler, Covered Box, geo- 
metric, blue ground accented with deep blue, unusual effect 
of pattern on cover and sides. 
No. 964, Mrs. Le Roy Steward, Jar. Perfect adaptation 
of design to paneled sides. Chinese style of color with geo- 
metric motifs in vermilion and blue. Each pattern has a dif- 
ferent kind of flower, but so carefully balanced, it hardly shows 
at first this subtle touch. 
No. 947, Mrs. S. W. Sexton, (member of the Atlan Club) 
exhibited a covered box. Rich large flowers enclosed by 
bands of color and gold, passion flowers in purple and white. 
No. 1047, Miss Mae B. Howe, had a set, fine idea, great 
simplicity, gold lines with tiny rose accents, leaving beauty 
of china a part of the decorative scheme. 
Nos. 1043-1044, Mrs. Scott Jones, charming Plate. Many 
rich colors in flower bunches with border in dark blue and gold 
holding them together. 
No. 971, Mrs. Wm. Bonn, lovely colors, a subtle grey 
toned background, showing shadowy yellow white tulips with 
darker grey leaves. No outlines, not in competition or it 
would have had an award. 
Miss H. M. La Bryn's was one of the most interesting- 
designs. The spacing of the outer border, the white ground 
and center medallion are unusually fine, but the outlines are 
somewhat uncertain and color uneven, but of pleasing con- 
trast and variety. 
No. 821, Miss Cora Webster, we noted a plate with a vig- 
orous use of leaf form, held together by pink flowers and pur- 
ple buds, with raised line background. 
Miss Jessie Shaw of Harvey, 111., sent a sandwich tray 
ornamented with a gold border enclosing peacocks and grapes 
in Autumn colors, interesting, but a trifle too much in feather 
detail for the hard surface they decorate. She also had a bowl 
of old English decoration of disconnected flower sprays paneled 
in by irregular dotted lines, suggests old brocade pattern. 
Style, conventional grapes and leaves with green gold. 
Miss Lydia Hadden displayed a bowl of unusual dignity 
and decoration. Gold used sparingly, but in long square forms 
between flat all over leaf forms enclosing three white flowers. 
Mrs. A. M. Barothy displayed several pieces, all rich in 
color and unusual in style; she has a distinct individuality in 
her work that is generally admired. 
Miss Clara S. Scott, of Kirwin, Kansas, sent in a very 
curious candle lamp, showing the Chinese decoration in which 
she employs the dragon. The only thing that she left incom- 
plete was the dragon's claws so that we cannot tell whether 
he is a symbol of royalty or peasantry. 
Mrs. C. S. Shanklin of Marion, Iowa, showed a very ornate 
chop platter with geometrical division, and a festoon of fruit 
in between, the whole making a very attractive ornament. 
Miss Mae B. Howe of Eau Claire, Wis., exhibited a part 
of a dinner set with a simple and severely geometrical design 
done in gold and pink. The very simplicity is A~ery much to 
be admired. 
Miss Florence M. Wood of Kane, Pa., sent in a large group 
of work, showing all three classes of work, naturalistic, con- 
ventional and Satsuma, and received Honorable Mention on 
No. 783 Cake plate. 
Miss K. Madge Sageser of Chattanooga, Tenn., showed 
a very daintily conceived decoration in fuchsia on a wafer plate. 
Miss Mary Bearhope, of Columbus, Inch, sent in a very 
interesting design, on which she employs the thistle design, 
and we are very glad of the label, because she has convention- 
alized it into block form until our knowledge of the flower is 
entirely lost, but it is well colored and well designed. 
Ursuline Convent, Tiffin, Ohio, who has usually had a 
large display was this year represented by a very pretty sand- 
wich tray done in soft pastel shades, showing good technique. 
Miss Grace Weed, Warren, Ohio, among other pieces 
exhibited a conventional service plate, which is done in raised 
pearl enamels with red centers. It is difficult to describe the 
beautiful effects she has secured by her gold paste dotted lines, 
and the use of the beautifully drawn connecting lines. 
Mrs. Mary B. Price, Richmond, Maine, had quite a col- 
lection of china, all of which shows careful study in both color 
and design. We especially commend the little tete a tete set, 
done in gold bands and medallions of green, which encloses 
a small pink flower. 
Mrs. Alice Eycke, Anderson, Ind., showed a chocolate set, 
done in a curious arrangement of medallions, accenting the 
Chinese form of decoration, by using quite a quantity of black. 
She has shown great good taste in using this rather dangerous 
combination. 
Miss Belle Fitzgerald, Mexico, Mo., showed her talent 
for portraiture in a little French medallion of Marie Antoinette 
and one of her mother. One shows the ideal and the other 
the real, but both are very charming. 
SATSUMA VASE 
The Satsuma ware appears the strongest in the whole 
scheme of decoration, possibly because there is a sympathy 
between the body of the ware and its creamy soft glaze and 
the enamels that the hard highly glazed china does not permit. 
Also, the staining of the crackle gives a possibility of a har- 
monious tinting being added which adds a subtle value to the 
color schemes. 
The first prize of the Satsuma class was awarded to Mrs. 
A. A. Frazee and is a triumph of designing and decoration, 
the general motif being lines of gold with bunches of leaves 
and blossoms forming a medallion border toward the top. 
A clever arrangement of pointed blooms terminating in triple 
leaf forms finishes the base of this artist's production. It is 
colored in richest tones of blue-green, earth-red, and all the 
variations of creamy-white enamels. A dotted background 
adds lighting to the creation. Such pieces as this are triumphs
