KERAMIC STUDIO 
CHICAGO CERAMIC ART ASSOCIATION 
r lT v HE 23d Annual Exhibition of the Chicago Ceramic Art 
A Association was held during the month of October in 
the Art Institute of Chicago. 
The work showed the stimulating influence of the class 
in constructive design which is conducted for club members 
by Mrs. Edward L. Humphrey. Admirable fitness and re- 
straint characterized the designs throughout — notably in the 
tableware exhibit. The possibilities of the different wares 
were well recognized; — the collection of Sedji showed clever 
treatment, the more ornamental Satsuma was richly decorated, 
and the beauty of line and surface characteristic of the Belleek 
was given full value. 
A departure from the usual work of the Club was a case 
of pottery made and decorated by one of the members, the use 
of copper luster and enamels giving a suggestion of an old-time 
ware. 
Miss M. Ellen Iglehart was awarded the Burley and Co. 
Prize for the most appropriate design for tableware. Her 
OLIVE M. JOHNSON 
(A. H. Abbott Prize) 
set showed an effective geometric border with an especially 
clever adaptation on the handles, in three tones of gold with 
accents of black. A Tile and a quaint Bowl of octagonal 
shape, were decorated with baskets of flowers in bright-hued 
enamels. As usual, Miss Iglehart's pieces were distinguished 
by beauty of coloring and execution. 
Miss Olive M. Johnson, a new member, received the A. 
H. Abbott Prize for the best individual exhibit, a group of 
sixteen pieces strikingly original in design and treatment. 
Her large Belleek Lamp-vase showed panels filled with compo- 
sition flowers, held together by bands of geometric ornament 
in rich colors. Another departure from the usual was a Sat- 
suma Vase showing conventional baskets of multi-colored 
flowers set in an allover geometric design. Other pieces 
were a handled Satsuma Vase in rich blue, brown and black 
enamels, a Tea-set and several Boxes. 
Miss Maud Myers, of Aurora, was awarded the Hasburg 
Gold Prize for her artistic use of gold on a large Sedji Tray. 
This was an exceedingly attractive piece, the design being

Maud Myers (Hasburg Gold Prize) 
Anna V. Cornish Mary E. Hippie 
Anne T. Brown Isabelle C. Kissinger 
worked out in a satisfying combination of white gold with blue 
green and dull orange enamels. 
The F. B. Aulich Color Prize was taken by Mrs. Rena 0. 
Pettersen, for a Dresser-set of exquisite coloring, soft salmon- 
pink, grey-green, and ivory. The set showed a border with 
flower-motif, and an allover spot-design. Among other 
good things Mrs. Pettersen exhibited a Satsuma Nut-set in 
lavender., ruby and pale yellow enamels with gold, a large 
Vase with green and gold orchid design, and a cabinet Teapot 
in shades of pink and crimson purple.
