The preceding Statistical Table comprises a list of
189 old Oriental glass vessels, of which four or hve (in the
Musee National de l'Art Arabe) were apparently made of
uncoloured glass; six are of dark blue, and two of orange-
yellow. All the rest are—fortuitously, we may suppose
—mostly greenish or smoky yellowish in tone, with some
extremely rare violet exceptions, and frequently resemble
more or less the consistency of troubled milk.
s° A blue vase, in silver mounting (fifteen century work) with German
inscriptions. See Nesbitt's Glass (South Kensington Museum Art Hand-
books), p. 60.

In each of the three groups of lamps which we have
included in the above list, without the addition of any
certain number, there are at least two pieces—in the
Godman collection, so tar as we know, three or four—
which will bring the old Oriental gilt and enamelled glass
vessels, known to us either by actual inspection, or trom
the descriptions of others, up to the total sum of two
hundred pieces.
3* The upper half of an armorially decorated lamp.
32 Formerly at Miramar.
33 Probably from the Spitzer collection.
