bone porcelain, the glaze being of a pronounced creamy 
color. On one side of the cup and on saucer there is, as in 
the other cup, a shield and two figures standing and holding 
banners with same mottos, "Sobriety'" and "Domestic Com- 
fort," and below again the motto, " Be Thou Faithful unto 
Death." Above the shield a star with the word "Freedom." 
On the other side of the cup a star in the center of a flower 
wreath, and the words, " Temperance Star." The decoration 
is purple print with lustre bands.

No. 6— Dark Blue Staffordshire: Bridejof L 
With Nos. 6 and 7 we come to two interesting cups in 
dark blue Staffordshire, one being marked " Bride of Lam- 
mermoor," maker unknown. The other is listed as historical, 
being the Chancellor Livingston steamboat, which at the 
time of the landing of Lafayette was the largest and best 
passenger steamer in the world. This view, the maker of which 
is E. Wood & Sons, is never found marked. Two other views 
of the Chancellor Livingston are found on dark blue, one on the 
Landing of Lafayette plate by Clews, which shows the Ful- 
ton steamboat on the left, decorated with a number of flags, 
this being the boat on which Lafayette made his triumphal 
entry in New York after he left the Cadmus and which 
was in reality quite different from the fancy drawing used by 
Clews (see Old China) ; more on the right and in the back- 
ground, nearly in line with Castle Garden, is the Chancellor 
Livingston with three flags; at least it is supposed to be, 
but old Staffordshire potters were not always very exact in 
their reproductions of ships, buildings or views. Another 
view of the Chancellor Livingston is found, according to Mr. 
Halsey, on the Highlands, Hudson River, platter, shell 
border, by Wood. In the collection of Mrs. Fred Yates, of 
Rochester, is a fine platter with same view of Chancellor 
Livingston and same border as on our cup. 
No. 8— Staffordshire, Blue and White: America by T. F. & Co. 
No. 8 is the "America" cup and saucer, by T. F. & Co.. 
probably Thomas Ford & Co. of Hanley. The original of 
our photograph is blue on white ground, but the blue, 
although quite deep, is not of the dark blue printed from 
copper plates. This cup belongs to the later period and will 
probably be found in other colors. Stamped on the back in a 
blue printed ornament with eagle is the word " Excelsior."

No. 9 is a dark blue cup, make unknown, which is called 
by collectors and dealers B. & O. R. R. cup and saucer. See
