Early Chinaware Popular
With Lovers of Antique*
The great reputation which old
English china gained for itself in
Europe and America in She lata
Eighteenth and early Nineteenth
centuries is due largely to the
charm of its useful wares. By use
ful wares we mean the servicer* of
china made for table use, utete*
Alice R. Rollins in the Los Angeles
Times. Entire services, with, all the
pieces decorated to match, w esc not
common until well after the middle
of the Eighteenth century. Many
of the factories producing: them
have long since passed out of exist
ence. Such examples as have sur
vived add pleasure or regret to the
collector, according to his ability to
classify or obtain them.
Other services were the produc
tions of famous potters whose
names have been associated with
them by reason of some special
form of decoration which is ttnio k t.vc*.
This, together with an originaJ lim
ited production, has made them
rare and desired by those collectors
who like something out of the ordi
nary. In this connection we men
tion the unusual "Mocha” ware,
first produced by the English pot
ter, William Adams of TunstafL
One of the best-known names
among English potters is that of
Adams. The family badl long kem
engaged in the potting- industry and
had made many notable improve
ments in (he manufacture of such
i wares. William Adams (1745-18ll5||
j was considered the most important
! member of this talented family. He
was a close friend of Josiah Wedg
wood and worked for him as pupil
and associate. He began polling for
himself about 1787 at Greengab/
in Tunstall.
Baby Otter, Badgor and
Other Animals Like Ef^ay
Most playful of all wild creature?
are otters, for even when full grown
they cannot resist anything on that
shape of a ball that floats. Baby
badgers romp together, puffing;
out their fur until they look liko
black and white balls, then bounc
ing round and round on their short
stiffened legs. A favorite game is
for one to mount a fallen tree, and
its companions to try to pull it
down, relates Oliver G. Pike, F. Z.
S., in London Tit-Bits Magazine.
Young polecats play a similar
game, but are far more graceful.
As they prance around, their slender
backs are arched, and they look
most attractive in their rich dark
brown glossy fur. Badgers, pole
cats, stoats, and weasels have very
little method in their play, unlike
the organized games of the otter.
I doubt if anyone has ever defect
ed play among fish, or seen liz
ards or snakes indulging in games.
All these are cold blooded and are
only active when the temperature
is warm enough to give them an
interest in life.
The play of foxes will often lam
to tragedy so far as the farmer is
concerned, for if they get among;
fowls they will kill one for food
then, like puppies, chase everything
that moves. If the birds had tb*
sense to keep still the fox might
pass them by, but he will slangier
them by the dozen while they con
tinue to run. , i
