cameo glass only has there ever been any approach to a design 
applied afterward, and that was merely when the cutter took 
advantage of a certain spot of color to carve out a design. 
There is an interesting collection of the Tiffany iridescent 
enamels on metal, in the form of small boxes and vases. We 
believe this is the first time the iridescent enamels have been 
used upon metals. In one or two instances the enamel has 
been fired over repousse silver, which has given an interesting 
and most artistic effect. 
In their electric fixtures there is no end to the variety of 
designs and color effects, which would turn the most common- 
place interior into fairy land. 
One of the most unique shades for lights over a large 
reading table was an inspiration from an Alaskan Indian 
basket, the shade being similar in shape to the inverted basket, 
with a mosaic of color in the Greek fret, a most charming bit 
of color, yet exceedingly restful in its form and general tone. 
The beauty of the table lamps is carried out in appropriate 
metal settings, so that there is complete harmony in the use 
of the two materials (not an easy proposition). There are 
single table lamps for reading which resemble the Egyptian 
scarabea in a setting like the old seals ; these are quiet in 
tones of green, and the whole lamp is restful to the eye and 
a thing of beauty besides its usefulness. There is originality 
in all ideas where the glass is utilized in combination with 
other materials for the " house beautiful," which makes one 
long for the time when the experiments of the Tiffany pottery 
will be shown to the public. 
At present there is a choice exhibition at the Tiffany 
studios of artistic pottery from the famous French potters, 
Delaherche, Dalpayrat, Jeanneney, Hoentschel, Chaplet and 
Doat, an account of which we will give later, but we urgently 
advise every one to see this collection, for these potters have 
never exhibited in this country before (excepting Delaherche), 
and we cannot say too much in favor of the liberality of Mr. 
Tiffany in affording the public such a great opportunity. 
Every student should see the work at these studios when it is 
possible, not only to study form and glazes from the pottery, 
but the wonderful color effects in the glass. It will solve 
many a proposition in composition and design.
