are identical, it is reasonable to infer that they come from the 
same establishment at different periods. Llewellynn Jewitt 
mentions none of these firms in his Ceramic Art in Great 
Britain but refers to John Tarns, of the Crown Works, Staf- 
ford street, Longton, and Anderson & Bellamy of the Crown 
Works. It is highly probable that the Tarns and Anderson 
connected with the Crown Works were the makers of these 
designs. 
UNKNOWN VIEW (PROBABLY AMERICAN) MARKED S. TAMS & CO. 
An illustration of the London Opera House, by Tains, 
Anderson & Tarns, was published in the KERAMIC STUDIO 
in February last. The Harrisburg State Capitol view was re- 
cently discovered by Keramic Studio Publishing Co. The 
unknown view here shown, is in the collection of Dr. Daniel 
Yoder, of Catasauqua, Pa. Who can identify it?

We intended to have in this number an illustrated article 
on foliage borders in dark blue. Lack of space prevents us 
from giving this article in KERAMIC STUDIO. It will be found 
in Old China with views of Regent's Park Villa, Regent's 
Street, St. Paul's School, Blenheim, St. Catherine Hill, Can- 
terbury Cathedra], St. Peter's at Rome.

WASHINGTON MONUMENT PITCHER 
WE reproduce herewith three views of a very fine Liver- 
pool pitcher in the collection of Mr. Charles Arthur 
Carlisle, of South Bend, Ind. This pitcher is known as Wash- 
ington Monument Pitcher. On one side is the monument 
with the medallion portrait of Washington, and the words: 
"First in War, First in Peace, First in Fame, First in Vic- 
tory." The figure of Fame stands on the right of the monu- 
ment, and a Naval Officer on the left: The names of the 
thirteen original States are grouped around the edge of the 
oval print. On the other side of the pitcher is a sail ship, 
the "Warren B. Hammond"; in front is the United States 
shield. The pitcher is 13^ inches high; the prints are in 
colors beautifully executed. 
Mr. Carlisle will consider it a favor if anybody can give 
him some information about the firm of Cropper, Benson & 
Co., whose name is printed under the " Warren B. Hammond", 
and who were probably agents for this line of ships.
