mention should be made of the sgraffito pots
from the Wimbledon School of Art, and in

Mr. Sidney A. Waye, the best of which was
decorated with a representation of Sir Lancelot
hunting in the woods with Queen Guinevere.
Among the enamels a small panel of a mer-

lustre plate with a simple
design in purple by Miss
Henrietta Wright, of

all deserved notice.
Some red tiles by Mr.
Harry Hoyle, of Accring¬
