RERAMIC STUDIO 
20 5" 
NIAGARA PLATE— In the collection of Mr. B. M. Martin. 
the Albany view and border, and the faint impressed mark of 
E. Wood & Sons. The border is flowers and has not been 
used by Wood on any other plates that we know of. 
MEDALLION SERIES. 
This is the most valuable of all. Plates of this series 
have on top sometimes the four heads of Washington, Lafay- 
ette, Jefferson and Clinton, sometimes only two heads or one. 
ST. PAUL'S CHAPEL PLATE— In the collection of Mrs. Fred Yates. 
At the bottom are small size views of the Entrance at Albany, 
or of the Rochester or Little Falls aqueduct bridges. Some- 
times the heads are of large size, as in the Niagara plate illus- 
trated here, sometimes of smaller size. They are found on 
many different views, and it seems that with such a variety in 
the central design, the views of the Canal and the arrange- 
ment of the medallions, they ought to be common. But they 
were probably made in a very limited quantity, each piece 
requiring so many successive printings that it prevented their 
manufacture on a large scale. 
These medallions are found on plates, platters and pitch- 
ers with three different borders, all attributed by Mr. Halsey 
to Ralph Stevenson, as follows : 
Vine Leaf Border — Capitol at Washington ; Massachusetts 
Hospital. 
Flower Border (marked "A.Stevenson" and commonly 
used on English views.) — Niagara plate ; medallion pitcher. 
MEDALLION PITCHER— In the collection of Mr. B. M. Martin. 
This pitcher illustrated here is extremely rare. Besides the 
original of our illustration, we know only of another one in 
the collection of Mrs J. B. Neal, Easton, Pa. Mr. Martin's 
pitcher is 7 inches high and measures 23 inches around the 
center. Mrs. Neal's pitcher is 6 inches high. 
Oak Leaf and Acorn Border. — American views: Park 
Theater, New York; City Hotel, New York; St. Paul's 
Chapel, New York; Columbia College. English views : Wind- 
sor Castle, Faulkbourne Hall, and a platter which Mr. Halsey 
describes as showing a long house on top of a wooded hill, 
evidently Kenmount House. 
[Lack of space prevents us from giving the article in full. 
It will be found complete in Old China, also the continuation 
of article on English views, and list of china for sale. — Ed.]
