in what direction his experi- 
ments are carried. We do not 
hear of any gre's flammds made 
here; Mrs. Frackelton has made 
interesting stoneware work, but 
not of the grand feu decoration. 
As to lustres, there is evidently 
among French potters a use of 
gold and copper oxides in high 
temperature and in a reducing 
atmosphere (that is with the 
pieces of pottery protected 
from contact with air) which is 
very little known to our deco- 
rators. The only lustres we 
know are the imported liquid 
lustres, which our overglaze 
decorators have used freely 
lately and in some cases with 
very good effect. There is in 
this country a big field of ex-

ual worker who will have the 
courage to give up the over- 
done overglaze decoration and 
turn his attention to pottery 
and underglaze work. The 
many schools of Keramics 
which have been opened lately 
will give him the necessary 
fundamental instruction, and 
the important question of firing 
is partly solved by the recent 
manufacture of house kilns 
capable of standing high tem- 
peratures. That an important 
movement in that direction is 
already well under way there 
can be no doubt, and before 
long the production of fine 
artistic potteries by individuals 
will not be confined to Euro- 
pean countries.
