The Arts and Crafts Society's Exhibition
PANEL IN CARVED AND COLOURED WOOD: “THE WARDEN OF THE MARCHES” BY GEORGE JACK
by the grace of Mr. C. F. A. Voysey’s charming
little cruet with its tall bottles of clear glass, and
this again by the simple elegance of Mr. J. Paul
Cooper’s silver toast rack; all three things of
domestic use that are frequently, in fact generally,
ugly. But Mr Voysey, so successful with his
cruet, does not charm us with his silver spoon and
three-pronged fork, which seem to have less grace
and feeling for balance than the ordinary articles
in everyday use. Mr. Edward Spencer shows a
variety of domestic objects in silver, copper and
bronze, including butter-dishes, fruit-bowls, tea-
caddies and candlesticks, all curiously attractive.
No less happy are his trivet in wrought iron, and
PAINTED SCREEN: “THE KING: HIS SHIPS” BY R. MORTON NANCE
