The largest and finest example of salt-glazed ware which I have seen in America is the exact duplicate of the best specimen in the Museum of Practical Geology, in Jermyn Street, London, numbered G. 111. It is thus described in the catalogue of that museum: “Large oval soup-tureen, cover, and stand. Height, ten inches; greatest diameter, fourteen and one-half inches. Body decorated with pressed ornaments, including scroll-work and diaper and basket pattern; the tureen mounted on three lion’s claws with masks.” This tureen is dated 1763. The beautiful and delicate specimen found in America is absolutely perfect. It bore the difficult process of making and firing (specially difficult in so large a piece), crossed the water to the new land of Virginia, passed through generations of use and the devastations of the Revolutionary and civil wars, was gathered in by a travelling dealer, brought in safety by rail to New York, and ignominiously sold for a dollar and a half to its present proud possessor. It was doubtless cast in the same mould as the one in the museum. Another similar piece is in the well-known English collection of Lady Charlotte Schreiber. A large number of smaller pieces of salt-glazed ware have been found, including salt-boxes, creamers, and one beautiful teapot which is so graceful and unique in design that it has been honored by being borrowed by a prominent china-manufacturer in England to reproduce in his modern ware. Thus this frail waif from the middle of the last century has thrice crossed the ocean in safety. [Illustration: Sportive Innocence Pitcher.] [Illustration: Farmer Pitcher.] The pitchers shown are of salt-glazed ware and may be Crouch-ware, though they are apparently of rather later date. The first bears in a heart-shaped medallion a design of high-colored children at awkward play, and is labelled “Sportive Innocence.” Similar ones are frequently found in America. I know of at least a dozen. Some bear on the reverse side a different design with the same children entitled “Mischievous Sport.” In this the boy is frightening the little girl with an ugly mask. Other pitchers of precisely the same shape and borderdecorations in orange, green, and blue have different designs in the medallion, a peacock being frequently seen. The farmer’s pitcher has the motto “Success to Trade,” and is surely older as well as gayer in color than the “Sportive Innocence” pitcher.
