in conception and treatment. In most of them we find a happy blending of
the conventional and realistic, with a result which is not only arresting,
but which satisfies the decorative sense. His colour schemes are as origi-

The six table-lamps illustrated on pages 80 and 8 1 are from the Ravens-

pieces. Delightful in texture and colour and simple in form, they are espe-

Miss Helen Paul and Miss Muriel Hare show originality in design and
colour and harmonize well with the lamps.
An exhibition of modern pottery was recently held at Stoke-on-Trent.

dard of this important British industry. Indeed, most ofthe piecesshowed
