CASE OF ROBINEAU PORCELAINS 
The Durant Kilns, Mrs. J. D. Rice, and Mr. Volkmar, 
potters, have added novelty to the work by their display of 
pieces for table use in Persian feeling, white enamel glaze 
showing rose pink quality, in plates, serving dishes, candle- 
sticks and so on, and deep Persian blues, and lemon yellows 
in great and small vases. Italian influence is shown in some 
of the designs of this luxurious looking soft faience. 
A collection of vases by R. G. Cowan of Cleveland, Ohio, 
shows fine examples of drip glaze on stoneware, a most legiti- 
mate and artistic product. Two examples are shown here, 
one a vase in green grey drip glaze, the other a flaring vase in 
fawn grey drip. 
Frederick E. Walrath of Rochester, New York, displayed 
excellent^work, pottery expressed in still another vein, dull 
soft feeling mat glaze with colored inlays, in great variety of 
shapes. His designs have an elusive quality that is quite 
fascinating. We illustrate a tall green vase with rose design, 
and a mug from a sturdy cider set in browns and orange yel- 
lows. A bonbon dish in heavy grey, inlaid with orange trees 
in orange color, was quite surprising and very firmly wrought. 
The Fulper Pottery Company of Flemington, New Jersey, 
is working along lines that promise great things in the future. 
The forms as yet are rather heavy, but their lustrous flambe 
glazes are fine and attracted much professional interest. A 
rose bowl in delicate gi-een and black lustre found its way into 
the hands of a well known collector. A vase with handles 
brown flambe, was most subtle. The illustration shows a 
lamp base in cafe au lait flambe, the mirror-like sm'face re- 
flecting pools of light in its tawney sides. 
Mary M. Hicks of West Woodstock, Connecticut, is doing 
valiant work in trying to revive the legitimate use of lustre on 
a common pottery vase. We illustrate a pitcher in copper 
and orange lustre, and a low bowl in lemon, yellow and copper 
lustre. Her work is artistic though still a trifle uncertain in 
workmanship. 
It is true this year that the pottery workers far out- 
distanced the overglaze decorators, but some creditable work
