RERAMIC STUDIO 
THE NEW EGYPTIAN MUSEUM 
AT Cairo on November 17, the new Vice-regal Museum of 
Egyptian Antiquities was dedicated. The refitted in- 
terior of fireproofed museum building is of ponderous Egyp- 
tian design. The lighting of all the halls on every story is 
perfection, and remains sufficient until after sunset. The chief 
drawback of the gallery is insufficient ventilation when its 
halls are crowded as they were on the day of its dedication, 
and are bound to be often in the tourist season. 
Collections are still to install in parts of the gallery, and 
await completion in others. A majestic flight of exhibition 
space called la galerie dlionneitr occupies the whole south side 
of the palace. It contains a mummy population of priests 
who lived and ruled important temple sees under the twenty- 
first and twenty-second dynasties. Their discovery in a cache 
near Deir el Bahri, in 1891, is a recent memory. 
The show-cases of the big vestibule contain tools and 
small utensils, pins, needles, and toilet table requisites. The 
group has a continuation upstairs, where a hall contains proto- 
Egyptian and predynastic potteries, the earliest bronze cook- 
ing pots, the earliest musical instruments. 
The ceramic collection in its continuation includes Phoeni- 
cian, Syrian, Armenian, Arab, and Persian potteries of the 
reign of Amenhorep IV., Khuenaten. Greek and Roman 
vessels and glassware of all ages found in Egypt supplement 
these native and other ancient earthenwares.

Macy & Co., the large New York department store, are 
the agents for the Royal Berlin Porcelain Manufactory, and

tions of the old Berlin porcelains, in Rococo, Empire, Renais- 
sance, Greek and Louis XV styles, also many fine craquele
