CHICAGO CERAMIC ART CLUB EXHIBIT 
lone L. Wheeler 
THE twentieth annual exhibition of the Chicago Ceramic 
Art Association opened October first to continue until 
the twenty-third. In the variety and individuality of work 
shown, this display is of particular interest, maintaining the 
reputation of the Club for strong and original work. Members 
realize the necessity of erecting designs influenced by their 
study of nature and of not depending upon historic ornament 
for their inspiration. 
For the most appropriate design for a dinner set the A. H. 
Abbott Prize was awarded to Miss Lillian Foster. The design 
is of small flowers in enamels, connected with bands of grey 
outlined in gold. The spacing and proportions in this set are 
most successfully planned. 
Miss Mary E. Hippie received the A. H. Abbott Prize for 
the best piece of work in enamels. This is presented upon a 
Satsuma Vase with strikingly original design. For its motif 
the author has utilized the daisy. This piece is a very welcome 
departure from the general use of enamels in very small flowers 
adapted from historic ornament. The artist has been success- 
ful in floating her enamels over much larger spaces than the 
average worker generally shows and the work is intensely inter- 
esting in the original style of handling. 
The F. B. Aulich Prize offered for lustre in design on an 
eight inch vase was presented to Mrs. Isabelle C. Kissinger. 
Nasturtiums in colored golds band the vase very effectively. 
The base of the vase is in yellowish green lustre. 
Mrs, lone L. Wheeler was awarded the Special Prize for 
the best group of lustre. 
Miss Marie Bohmann shows a teapot and tray in a strong 
and pleasing bleeding-heart design painted in tones of pink, 
green, brown and gold. 
From this studio too, come a dresser set, daintily done in 
bands of blue with pink flowers upon a ground of ivory tint, 
and a satsuma card plate with all-over design in pink and 
gi-een enamels with a background of a pleasing shade of tan. 
A sandwich tray and six plates executed by Miss Bessie 
Brower form a striking note in the exhibit. The motif used is 
the dwarf cedar, the colors are blue grey and rich reddish 
brown. 
Miss Anna Cornich shows a plate in tones of blue that 
would make a pleasing breakfast set. She also offers a vase in 
pale blue lustre. 
Miss Amanda Edwards sends a tray with a Japanese 
poppy motif, very strong in color and unusual in design, also 
a cup and saucer in a New Zealand design.
