Fo’ Woman’s Work.
LOVE IS ALL IN ALL.
Across the west, deep shadows lie,
Belated birds unerring fly
With questioning voice and drooping wing,
And as I watch them hurrying
To sheltering bongh and waiting nest,
Isay, “My heart, home love is best,
Home love is best of all!”
The world is wide, but well I know,
Roam as we will, we cannot go
Beyond the bounds of love’s domain,
But nightly wander home again,
For life is love, and love is all
Ay, love is all in all!

Discovery and Composition.
BY ALTA L. LYON IRONS.
A.S ever at ythi g manufac
tured that called for h the
admiration that p •rcela n
ha«?
The mist treasured hei’-
looms are ‘bits o> < Id chi a’’
2 •.*.' ‘ •. -'r.C * U • • “ I
aod we have heard of marriage b< i g
contracted in order to reuni ea pri elo s
set of < Id cups.
There are four kinds of ceramic p t'ery;
soft pottery, hard pottery. s >ft paste porce
lain. and hard paste porcel .in.
These are made on!y by the use of kao
lin, a variety of white and friable clay.
Ka lin, which is formed by the decom
position of minerals of the feldspar family,
cannot be used alone; it has lost its flux ble
particles in the process'of disintegraiion,
and the hottest fire fails to melt it. Kao
lin of good quality is usually ton' d near
tin mines. The best qualities now ob
tai: able in Europe are found in Cornwall,
England, Limoges, France, and near Me;s
sen, Germany.
Hard paste porcelain was invented bv
the Chinese about the second cinturv be
fore Christ, although tiny claim to havp
made fine pottery as long ago as 2000
years B. C., andt'efam Chinese Tower
was made of bricks as flno as s me of our
most prized vases.
This famous tower, which was de troyed
in 1862 was erected by E nperor Yangloh
to re ward the kindness of his mother and
stood just ou side the city of Nanking.
It was begun at noon on a certain day in
the tenth year of his reign, in 1413, and
nineteen years were required to complete
it.
The bricks and tiles were beautifully
colored and glazed, and the tower com
plete was nine stories high (322 ft ), and
on the outer face of each story hung six
teen lanterr s, ar d ins de twelve making,
in all, two hundred and fifty-two. It requir
ed sixty-four caddies of oil to fill them.
In the bowl on the top of the tower was
placed one white, shining pearl, one fire
averting pearl, one watxr-averti. g
one wind-averting pearl one dust-avert
ing pearl, a lump of gold weighing fifty
ounces; a box of tea leaves, 1000 taels of
silver, one lump of orpiment, one precious
stone gem, 1000 strings of copper coin,
two pieces of yellow satin, and four copies
ot Buddhist Classics.
♦ * * ♦ ♦
With the exception of soft paste, dis
covered at Florence about 1580 Europe
was ignorant of the art of porcelain mak
ing. This art was lost in Italy, a d re
discovered in 1695 in St. Ci««ud France
The Sevres manufactory was f unded i"
1745 at Vincennes, and in 1756 removed
to Sevres, where, in 1760, it became the
toepr perty of L uis XV. Sevres made
»oft paste untn 1765 and ir >m that date to
1804 both soft and bard p.ste whs made
I’he art of making the true porcelain, the
hard past o , was discovered i>, Saxony ahou
the j ear 1710. From 1801 to 1847 no soft
paste was made, but bo h kiu< s have since
been ma ’e The jeweled Sevres was firnt
made in 1780 and the beauiiiul turquoise
blue color was accomplished i 1752
Among Kmg Ludwig’s flue collection
of porcelains that were on exhibition, and
for sale in October, 1887 several pieces
beautifully jeweled.
A system ot marking by letters was
commenced in 1753 The letter *A” stood
for 1753, “B f>r 1754, etc., to ‘ Z, ’ which
stood lor 1777, then double letters were
used.
* * * « •
Let us now visit Limoges, where the
‘ French Porcelains” are rnanufac ured
The first hard porcelain whs manufac
tured by M. M Grellet, M-isrier a d
Fourneyrat in 1773, but the manu ac’ory
was not of much importance until 1830,
when it was aided by American enterprise.
To Mr. Haviland is due the credit of
changing the French styles. He called
at the Limoges manufactories for English
I shapes, and they replied:
WOMAN’S WORK.
“We cannot furnish them; we have not
the moulds.”
“I will furnish the moulds,’’ replied Mr.
Haviland.
“But we cannot execute the decorations;”
to which he replied, “I will send vou
decorators,” and the resuH is the “Havi
land Ware." Some of this beautiful ware
is decorated with red clay and colored
pastes.
Perhaps the most highly prized of the
Limoges worksis a shrine belonging to the
church Ambozac. It is twenty-five inches
high, twenty-nine inches broad, and ten
inches deep, and dates from the Twelfth
century. It is made of gilt brass repousee,
ornamented with filigree-work, cabochons
engraving and enameled medallions.
Other highly prized pieces in enamel
are ‘‘The Birth of the Vi gin,” an anony
mous mast rniece of the Sixteenth centurx;
“Toe C'ucifixion,” Fifteenth centum; “Tne
E itombment.” by Penicand, Fifteenth
century. One curious feature of this pic
tu r e is the large cock, a little to the left, in
th- middle distance
O e ■ f the most interesting pieces in en
amel is a ‘Medallion of the Virgin,” by
L• ■ ard I. Limosin. This Medallion
(1L54) which is ten inches in diameter, isa
simple miniature painted on black ename l .
11 shows a new feature in the art, however
by the introduction of processes of draw
ing harl outlines, modelling, and shading
by means of hatening.
I he “Doift-ware” is much sought after,
and ranks so high among the enameled
potteries that it has not been equaled in
any part of the word. Some of the old
Dutch Faience is worth its weight in gold,
especially Bembrandt’s landscapes with
old Dutch wind-mills.
The designs on some of the old pieces,
especially those of the Seventeenth century,
r presented many of the happenings of the
times.
A very interesting specimen of this
class is the “Explosion Dish” (1667), in
the Evenepoel collection at Brussels. It
is a giga it c plate with rather a plain
border, and in the centre is painted a rep
resentation of the terrible explosion of a
powder magazme in 1654.
This wonderful plate is of exquisite blue,
and was painted at Brussels, by Herman
G o thuysen.
The “Colvert P ate,” in the Sevres Mu
seum, has a beautiful border in landscapes
and medallions; the inner border is exquis
ite, and the centre bears the arms ot the
King a'd his Prim» Minister.
“Tne Kermesse,” a blue plaque (1640)
of the Evenepoel collection, represents
nearly one hundred grotesque figures
dancing in wild confusion.
“The Cavalry Charge” is a gigantic
plate bearing the date 1634. The confu
sion in the design is extraordinary; it
seems impossible to draw a lie anywhere;
to s parate the riders from the horses, or
one figure from another. The border is a
confused mass of scroll ai d floral design,
and cupids.
‘‘Triumph of Amphitryon,” a blue
plaque ot the Seventeenth century, is a
wo< d-rful piece of grace and beauty. It
shows twenty or more figures, with cupids
scattering flowers over their heads.
D I t ceramists were very successful in
imita ing Japanese porcelains. Albrecht
Von K iser first conceived the idea of im
itating the Japanese; and the imitation
pr< ved so great a success that connoisseurs
r< quired a crack, or chip, or Albrecht Von
K iser’s signature to convince them it
•■as DJft, not Japanese porcelain.
A i im ue ise plate by Kooge is in the
Arosa collection, ft is mide in comrnem
< ration of the birth of a little girl, Lyde
Hymens and her nanv—together with the
datn, 1650—appears on the border.
Among others that deserve special men
tion is a J pa ese basket in dark blue
Thn bord-r is a beautiful scroll design
a d the figures in the centre show care
and precision.
There is a blue ewer bv Kooge, and a
plate by Fryt >n This plate diff-rs from
m >.-t cth-r o'a'-s of the collection; the
oorier is perfectly plain, the centre only
being painted. A ‘H How Dish,” b\
Gerrit Kam, a violet colored basket, now
in the Jourde collection, “Road to the
Cr 'ss. ’ by Goltzius and a music plate ol
the Eighteenth century.
The border is beautiful, and in the cen
tre of the plate is an open book with bars
and notes on both pages; above is a crown,
and below, several musical instruments.
A Hamlet-shaped ewer, the marriage
certificate of Hugo Browwer, in thq
Evenepoel collection, C-ffee-pot, cashmere
pattern by Fictoor. “A Ceramic Giant,”
in the London collection, and a ‘‘Colossal
Jar,” cashmere pattern, by Lambartus
Eenho rn.
The ‘ Cashmere” is a mingling of dra
peries brilliant flowers, and fantastic
birds, painted on a fluted surface. This
style was invented by Willein Kleftyus
Serfected by his nephew, Lambartus
ienhoorn.
