teresting examples of hand-modeled pottery. We
note one particularly fine example in a mottled
green bowl with intaglio decoration of swan shapes.
Mr. F. E. Walrath exhibits an unusual collection
of forms decorated by means of crystallization, also
some good work in dull-glazed green ware.
Miss Jane Hoagland has a number of hand-
modeled vases which are fine in tonality.
The other potters represented are Marblehead
(Baggs); Grueby; Newcomb; Minneapolis Guild;
Markham Pottery; Greenwich House; Poillon;
Russell G. Crook and Miss E. C. Lyon.
Miss Eva Macomber, of Hingham, Mass., ex-
hibits enameling upon copper; Mr. Edward That-
her, of Teachers' College, wrought door handles,
hinges, etc.; Dr. C. Busck, a finely wrought copper
plate and vase, the latter a fme example of the
artistic shaping of metal.
Miss C. S. Ogden is represented by writing-desk
sets, desk blotters, ink wells, etc. Mr. Charles J.
Burdick is making new arrangements of glass
mosaic applied to copper and brass sconces, candle-
sticks, etc., which possess a most satisfying tonality.
A well designed and executed piece is a perforated
metal-Iight screen by Miss Minna D. Behr. The
New York Evening High School exhibits metal
work and jewelry by students, an encouraging evi-
dence of what our public schools are doing in
handicraft.
There is possibly no profession which to the lay-
man suggests real handicraft more than that of the
silversmith, and this department of the handicraft
movement is well represented in this exhibition.
A silver and enamel ladle by Miss Mildred G.
Watkins is good craftsmanship. It exemplihes the
value and charm of enameling tastefully applied to
silver. One is inclined to wonder why our silver-
smiths do not employ this beautiful mode of expres-
sion more frequently.
Miss Grace Hazen and her pupils exhibit a case
full of silver and enamel work which shows a seri-
ousness of purpose and a love of true craftsmanship.
Mr. George C. Gebelein exhibits a finely wrought
silver plate carrying a grape design.
While there is still a tendency in our jewelry
workers to wander into the vagaries and mysteries
of f<M? woMveuM, we find in this department a greater
seriousness of purpose, better design, better results
all round than last year.
Again we must mention Miss Grace Hazen's
name and that of Miss Bertha Holden, with Mrs.
Froelich, Herbert Kelley, Edward Thatcher,
Brainerd Thresher, The Pratt Institute, Miss B. L.
Kelly, Mr. H. Whitbeck (who exhibits an interest-

ing pendant of rugged medieval quality) and a host
of others.
We must not, however, because of limited space,
fail to mention the exhibits of Mr. and Mrs. E. R.
Vedder, who occupy a unique position in the held
of jewel craft; they are working with boldness and
freedom, with a love of tonality and of the more
picturesque side of this handicraft.
Signor Perera, of Italy, shows a rare collection of
ancient scarabs, jewels, etc., in settings of his own
design and, sometimes, craftsmanship.
In his portrait medal of Mrs. Spencer Trask,
Mr. Victor Brenner has equalled if not surpassed
his own work in the Palace of the Luxembourg.
It was Monsieur Roty, the great French medalist
