Embracing religious subjects, such as the " Evangelists," 
"Classic Deities," " Village Groups," " The Seasons," "The 
Elements," busts of Soldiers and Sailors, Statuettes of Poets, 
and many others, the colored and glazed Earthenware Figures 
make a large and varied field for collectors. It is comforting 
to reflect that, whilst nearly all the Bristol, Chelsea and Derby 
China Statuettes have been absorbed into Museums or pri- 
vate collections and can only be purchased at high prices, it 
is still possible with study and patience to make a very inter- 
esting collection of colored Earthenware Staffordshire Figures 
at a reasonable outlay. When appropriately arranged with 
due regard to their coloring and design these become a charm- 
ing feature in the decoration of a room. Professor Church 
gives the 'following names of Staffordshire Potters who de- 
voted considerable time, thought and skill to the manufact- 
Whieldon group— Roman Charity, Q>% in. high. 
uring of these figures, some of which were repetitions of the 
popular Chelsea and Derby subjects, but many more were en- 
tirely original and quaint conceptions. These names are as 
follows: Ralph Wood, Aaron Wood, Wedgwood, Voyez, 
Enoch Wood, Wood & Caldwell, Neale & Co., Lakin & 
Poole, Wilson, Bott & Co., and Walton, and from marked 
examples which have come under observation we would add 
the names of Turner, Edge & Grocott, Hall, Salt and I. Dale, 
Burslem, and no doubt there were many others. He goes on 
to say that from marked specimens it is not impossible to 
conclude in some instances who might be the likely potter of 
a certain figure by reason of analogy in design, coloring, glaze 
and general treatment. 
Marked specimens, however, are not frequently to be ac- 
quired, with perhaps the exceptions of Walton and Salt — com- 
ing later than the others, no doubt they discovered some ad- 
vantage in naming their pieces, and thus we find them more 
frequently identified than those of any other potter. 
Subscribers of KERAMIC Studio who are interested in 
the study of old wares would do well to subscribe to our little 
Magazine, Old China, which has grown very much lately 
and is made specially attractive by the regular and valuable 
contributions of Mrs. Mary Churchill Ripley. We find it im- 
possible in The Collector department of Keramic STUDIO 
to cover the same ground as we do in Old China, we lack 
the necessary space and must content ourselves with one of 
the Old CHINA contributions every month. For instance 
only one of the articles of Mrs. Ripley on The English Porce- 
lains of the i8th Century appeared in KERAMIC STUDIO, 
while the complete series as published in Old China con- 
sisted of three articles. 
To subscribers of KERAMIC STUDIO the combination 
price for the two Magazines will be hereafter $4.75, making 
Old China only $1.25 a year instead of regular price $2.00.

FOR SIDEBOARD OR CHINA CLOSET 
Quaint and novel are some charming broth bowls, for in- 
valids, two-handled, on saucers, in either the breakfast 
or teacup size. 
Men will like the magnum cups, large enough to contain 
two breakfast cups of tea or coffee, and made in all the pret- 
tiest of patterns; they are already an immense success. 
Newest of all, however, are the reproductions of the old 
supper sets. One set consists of a round oak tray with small 
covered entree dishes, fitting round a soup tureen in the 
center. 
A plated, or silver, stand for a syphon is good, now that 
these things are in such evidence. They are not beautiful, 
but in the new style are quite in character with a daintily set 
luncheon table, or a well-arranged sideboard. 
A tumbler fitted into a silver frame with a silver handle 
is intended for the use of hot-water drinkers. 
PYROGRAPHY 
All designs for Pyrography should be sent to Miss K. Livermore, 1010 Chape 
St., New Haven, Ct., who has charge of this department and will answer in- 
quiries in the Magazine.

fAVE the various pieces cut at a planing mill. As there is 
no nailing or gluing care must be taken that the wooden 
pieces fit snugly. 
Outline the design, either with knife or carving tool, to 
give the effect of high relief. Burn the background very 
dark. Burn or stain the shelves. Add brass hooks to lower 
shelf for cups.
