Reseña del editor
The singular interest that has been excited in late years in the subject of Pottery is at this time bearing remarkable fruit in the shape of a widespread effort to produce forms, and surface decoration on forms, that shall rival those done in such old times as are regarded as being peculiarly rich in artistic light and insight. The rivals to the ancient works are seen daily in increasing numbers and in varying beauty, and of most diverse colours and characters. Scarcely a month now passes but some addition is made to the number of wares decorated by new methods, which take the impress of the individual minds that have invented them. We thus have had revivals in Majolica, Faience, Lustered ware, c. c., and with all we may say truly, that as examples of pottery that is, more especially in the mechanical and material construction of the new wares they greatly exceed the old ones in perfect finish, durability, and chemical combination of their parts, both in body and glaae. But this is not everything; and it is well known and seen that the ancient works, and those of the Renaissance, excel our own in their taste, artistic freedom, and wealth of ideas; and in these particulars we have still much to -do to equal, still more to do to excel, these old-world productions of the potters art. But the spirit is abroad, and in allE uropean countries the same active interest in pottery is perceived.
