A portrait of head of Washington, in a cocked hat, on a porcelain mirror-knob. A transfer print in black; sometimes being printed in outline and filled in with pale colors. For description of mirror-knobs see page 159 _et seq._ 33. Washington. Tomb. Wood. This dark blue design represents a bewigged man with knee-breeches at the tomb of Washington. In his hand he carries a scroll. This print is usually known as “Lafayette at the tomb of Washington.” The face does not resemble Lafayette, and when Lafayette visited Washington’s tomb he wore trousers, knee-breeches being out of date. It has been suggested that the solitary figure is intended for Jefferson. In the background is a view of a town and water, with shipping. The print is usually indistinct and poor, though the color is good. It is seen on all the pieces of tea and toilet services. Impressed mark, Wood. 34. Washington. Funeral Urn. Canton. The pieces bearing this design are extremely beautiful in shape, quality, and decoration, every detail being perfect. The owner called it Lowestoft, but it is plainly Oriental in manufacture, being of very hard-paste, and the character of the design (showing that it was executed after the death of Washington) would hardly point to the Lowestoft manufactory as its place of birth. The platters and plates have an open-work basket-design border lined with delicate threads of golden brown and gold. At each intersection of the interlaced border is a tiny embossed rosette colored in gilt or bronze, with a darker centre. The delicacy and beauty of this dainty border can hardly be described. In the centre of each piece, in various shades of gold—both dull and polished gold being combined—is a design of a funeral mound and an urn bearing the word “Washington,” overhung by a weeping-willow. The leaves and branches of this tree are models of the gilder’s art. On each piece are in gold the gracefully intertwined initials J. R. L., probably the initials of the person for whom the set was made. For beauty of design and workmanship these pieces excel any others I have ever seen bearing any so-called Washington design. 35. Washington Memorial. This plate, with irregularly scalloped edge, is green in the centre, with red border. The decoration is a scene with a seated classical figure writing upon a tablet, and with a Greek temple in the background. The border contains four medallions of funeral urns and weeping willows. On the back is stamped in red a funeral urn with the word “Washington,” and the initials E. H. Y. S. The printing of this design is very clear and the lines very delicate, and the drawing is good. 36. Washington. Medallion. A bowl of clear white china with plain band of gilt on the edge. On one side, in blue, a medallion of Washington between two flags, surmounted by a spread eagle. Unmarked. 37. Washington. Funeral Urn. Plate with pink flower border, centre in green. A statue of Washington and a cinerary urn with the word “Washington.”
