RERAMIC STUDIO 
153 
KANSAS CITY EXHIBIT 
THE Kansas City Keramic Club held their sixteenth annual 
exhibition last spring. The Club as a whole has-been 
studying design during the past two years and this was evi- 
denced in the originality of most of the pieces exhibited. One 
of the features was a friendly competition in designs on bowls, 
from the tiny cabinet piece to the largest salad size. 
Mrs. J. Edward Barker exhibited a number of Satsuma 
pieces and all showed exquisite careful work. A large bowl in 
nuts was especially fine. Mrs. Alys Binney was happy in the 
choice of her design for a vase in blue and grey. A salad bowl 
was much admired. The etched dinner set of Mrs. Hanna 
Cuthbertson was one of the most elaborate and attractive 
pieces of the exhibit, while a chocolate set in dull blue made 
everyone desire to be the owner. Mrs. Edwards showed a 
charming variety of pieces, especially good was a tall vase in 
conventionalized hollyhocks. 
Mrs. Frederic Griffith's work was very dainty in color- 
ing and design, a creamer and sugar in silver and green being 
particularly attractive. Mrs. Pauline James' fern dish in 
gold and lustre was delightful and a chop tray in blue was 
very effective. On account of its simplicity, a tray in tiles 
and an ice-water pitcher to match, by Miss Carrie Mae Kings- 
bury, was very interesting to decorators. A tall landscape 
vase in brown and blue showed a beautiful blending of colors. 
Mrs. William McCamish showed some dainty work on candle- 
sticks, vase and small fernery. Mrs. J. N. Moore's dinner 
plates were very pleasing with a simple medallion, while a 
jardiniere etched in gold, silver and green was attractive in 
its harmony. Mrs. Nutter showed a number of bowls, candle- 
sticks in peacock-feather motif and a fernery in yellow and 
green. Mrs. Osborne was represented by a dainty bowl and 
vase. The bird vase of Miss Eva Ross was particularly attractive 
and a jardiniere in flat enamels showed a thorough knowledge 
and fine workmanship. Mrs. G. W. Smith was especially good 
in an etched coffee set and a dresser set in enamels and silver. 
Her work all showed the charming effect of simplicity in design. 
All of the pieces of Miss Jennie Somers were dainty and refined 
in treatment. Especially noticed was a small bowl in enamels. 
Mrs. W. T. Timlin showed a large vase in conventional apple- 
blossoms, a beautiful bowl in Japanese design and a number of 
pieces in enamels. In Mrs. Gertrude Todd's exhibit was noted 
careful thought in workmanship and design. A chocolate set 
in brown and gold was quite restful. The breakfast set in 
yellow and cream on a green wood tray by Mrs. Twyman was 
one of which one would never tire. 
Miss Harriet Ware exhibited a number of fine pieces in 
Satsuma. One of the best was a chowder bowl in lavender 
and green. The Club can feel that at the close of this their 
sixteenth year they are surely going ahead.
