of design. Mr. Pass, the manager of the Pottery is ambitious to raise the art 
standard of their porcelain, so that it will occupy a unique position in the 
American Pottery world and eventually abroad. 
Mrs. Saidie Wood Safford exhibited the flame colored vase with gold 
fish, which attracted much admiration at the Pan. Am. We were disap- 
pointed not to see more new work from her busy and artistic brush. 
Mrs. Mary Alley Neal showed some successful vases with new color 
effects of lustre over gold, recalling the Favrile glass. 
Mrs. Anna S. Leonard devoted her exhibit to the exposition of table 
ware decorations in simple designs. It was one of the educational features 
of the exhibition. 
Mr. Franz Bischoff sent several large vases, in his usual strong style and 
fine technique. 
Mrs. L. Vance Phillips showed an original study of a Madonna, delicately 
executed and bearing a strong resemblance to Mrs. Safford. Her exhibit of 
figure work on a gold ground, in the Louis XV style, was well done but 
seems a rather dangerous example for amateurs, for while this treatment has 
many artistic possibilities in a decorative way, it needs a strong and cultivated 
good taste and careful study to manipulate successfully. 
Mrs. Church's portrait work in Meissen Brown was especially fine. She 
also exhibited a portrait of her daughter, decoratively treated on a bronze 
and gold ground, which was very attractive. Mr. Collins also showed some 
good figure work. 
Mrs. Rollins' exhibit of figure painting and a set of plates in grey blue 
from her successful design in the Dow class last winter were also a worthy 
addition to the exhibit. 
Miss Elsie Pierce's work consisted chiefly of bronze, gold and lustre 
work, some of the dark effects being very artistically designed. She is one of 
the promising young members of the society.
