The present Manual has arisen from accidental circum- stances. At the sale of the late Mr. Bernal's extraordinary collection, the numerous and expensive woodcuts which em- bellished the Auction Catalogue, became mine for a mere trifle. Upon this it occurred to me, that an illustrated volume, com- prising the entire Catalogue, with the prices, and the pur- chasers' or rather present possessors' names, and such inci- dental remarks and additions as might suggest themselves, would be an acceptable service to amateurs and collectors ; — and those whom I consulted thought the same. I therefore took immediate measures for accomplishing this object, but other and more pressing avocations so continuously engrossed most of my disposable time, that its completion has been sadly re- tarded. In the interim I had been invited by the Eev. Harry Dupuis of Richmond, in common with many of the neighbouring gentry, to take part in a projected Exhibition of works of Art and Science, connected with a series of educational lectures, — a movement in the path of social progress so consonant to my own views and feelings, that I joined in it most cordially. The Exhibition, which was held in a very large and lofty school-room, presented a rich assortment of objects of vertu IT PBEFACE. and natural history, and reflected great credit upon the taste, industry, and perseverance of the several gentlemen who collected and gratuitously conducted it. My contributions were principally Porcelain, Enamels, and Glass, of which I have long had a small but very fair collection. Others contributed Pictures, Carvings, Sculpture, Indian An- tiquities, Goldsmiths' Work, Minerals, Geological Specimens, Insects, Stuffed Birds — indeed whatever was likely to amuse or instruct. The Lectures were based upon the objects exhibited. — Pro- fessor Owen illustrated Palceontology and Zoology ; Mr. Ra- venshaw, Mineralogy; Mr. Wm. Chapman, Historic Portraits; others gave experiments in Chemistry, Electricity, Hydraulics, and Photography; and I made my de'but on Pottery and Porcelain. A request to repeat my Lecture led me to prepare it with increased attention, and I now present it to the public in its amended form, as a convenient introduction to the present volume. i The few additional notes interspersed through the Catalogue, some within brackets denoting the painters on porcelain, are either by myself, Mr. Thomas Woods, the intelligent assistant of Messrs. Christie and Manson, or Mr. Burn, who has read the sheets with me through the press. The Appendix of Mouogeams, which I deem the great fea- ture of the volume, will, I hope, be found as useful and complete as anything of the kind yet produced. In the class Majolica the list might have been much enlarged ; but without more positive information than we yet have respecting many unlocated marks the collector would have derived little or no advantage from far- ther additions. Some of the finest and most valuable specimens have no marks at all, while some that would rank well accord- PEEFACE. V ing to the mark, are of little value. A Xanto plate, marked and dated, may vary in value from five to a hundred guineas, ■while an unmarked plate, about which there is not the least positive information, may be worth even more than the larger sum. In constructing this Appendix I have been mainly indebted to the valuable works of Messrs. Brongniart and Riocreux, especially their splendid volume, the " Muse'e Ceramique," from which I have copied all the monograms, with scarcely any variation. I am also indebted to that magnificent and well-executed work " Les Arts au Moyen Age ; par Du Som- merard," which every lover of the fine arts, that can afford it, should procure. The brochure of Passeri, on Majolica, as edited by Mons. Delange, has afforded me many additional marks, and some useful information. Labarte's " Arts of the Middle Ages ;" Mr. Robinson's Descriptive Catalogue of the Soulages Collection ; the Catalogues of the Museum of Prac- tical Geology, by Sir Henry de la Beche, Mr. Trenham Reeks, and Mr. Robert Hunt ; and the Manchester Catalogues ; have all supplied something : and last, not least, Mr. Marryat's pleasing volume, of which a new and much improved edition has just been published under the care of his sister, Mrs. Palliser* HENRY G. BOHN. Twickenham, July 1, 1857. MR. PLANCHE'S NOTICE AS PREFIXED TO THE SALE CATALOGUE. I hate been requested to write a few introductory line9 to this Catalogue, and feel it is one of the greatest com- pliments that could have been paid to me. Nothing I can say would enhance the value of such a collection, and I cannot therefore look on the request in any other light than that of a delicate mode of conferring upon me the privilege of publicly expressing the respect and regard which I have for nearly thirty years entertained for the kind friend, whose sudden and unexpected loss I so deeply deplore. Distinguished amongst English Antiquaries by the perfec- tion of his taste, as well as the extent of his knowledge, the difficulty of imposing upon him was increased by the neces- sity of the fabrication being fine enough in form, colour, or workmanship, to rival the masterpiece it simulated : to be, in fact, itself a gem of art, which it would not pay to produce as a relic of antiquity. Mr. Bebnal could be tempted by nothing that was inferior. Even his Pictures, though avow- edly not selected for their value as paintings, but for their illustration of costume, have probably, taken as a whole, more merit in them than any similar collection in Europe. I am not presuming to offer this as my own opinion ; I but echo that which I have so often heard from the lips of men considered the highest authorities in such matters, both amateurs and dealers. With the treasures thus garnered up, it would be an honour to any antiquary to have his name in any way associated ; and I can only repeat that mine has no claim to such a distinction, unless it be that I yield to none in regret for the departed, and in sympathy for his bereaved family. J. R. PLANCHE. Jawtmry, 1835. AN ILLUSTRATED LECTURE ON POTTERY AND PORCELAIN, DELIVERED AT , EICHMOND, JULY 15th AND 28th, 1856, ON OCCASION OIT THE LOCAL EXHIBITION. Potteby must have been known to the world almost from the beginning of time, first as sunburnt or baked vessels of clay, called by the Italians, Terra Cotta ; then as glazed and enamelled or vitrified ware, called terra invitriata ; and lastly, as modelled or painted vessels, such as Etruscan vases, urns, &c. ; and there are abundant records, as well in sacred as profane history, of its existence in every variety of form many centuries before the Christian era. In the catacombs of Thebes, which are proved to be nearly four thousand years old, a series of drawings has been dis- covered, exhibiting the Potter's art as then practised, by which it appears that the clay was kneaded with the feet, worked at the wheel, baked in a cylindrical oven, and lastly painted. And judging by the completeness of all the appliances, this must have been an advanced stage of the art. The ancient potters took rank with the highest class of artists, and their praises are sung or said by many of the Greek and Roman classics. The earliest specimen of unglazed ware in the present col- lection is an elegantly formed Roman Vase of reddish brown earth ; but there are many earlier and finer in the British Museum. Of glazed and enamelled ware, you see before you some Egyptian figures, rings, and beads, and several Etruscan vases. AN ILLUSTKATED LECTITEB Egyptian figures, rings, and leads of blue enamelled ware are of great antiquity, and are found in the tombs of Egypt ; the largest of the rings here has intagliated hieroglyphics on its face, and is presumed to be a signet-ring. One of the little Egyptian figures is the god Isis ; the other is the celebrated deity Thoth, the type of nearly all the best gifts to man, and the supposed inventor of writing. The exquisite finish and fine colour of these examples of enamelled pottery shew that the art was more perfect in the age of the Pharaohs than it has been at some intermediate periods. Etruscan Wabb, or as the earlier manufacture is now more learnedly called, Italo-Greek pottery, is traced back with certainty to five hundred years before the Christian era, at which period Phidias and other celebrated artists furnished designs for the potters ; and if we may give credit to Hero- dotus, in his account of the pottery of Samos, it existed even ten centuries before Christ. The present examples will suffice to shew the character of the ware. One specimen, a jug in the form of a negro slave's head, is remarkable for its curious and uncommon character, and for its lustrous black glaze, which is called Thericlean, be- cause supposed to have been invented by Thericles of Corinth. But it is more remarkable for its ferruginous reticulated work, meant to represent hair, though more like a nutmeg-grater. By the side of it is another negro slave's head, with the same kind of reticulated work for hair, unglazed, and of great age. The Etruscan vase beyond them is interesting for the tasteful elegance of its form, and the spirited painting of the chimsera and dancing figures which cover it. The last to which I shall call your attention is an example of the simplest form the ground of a yellowish red, and the figures in glazed black with white touches, which three colours are those principally used by the ancient potters. The white having always been put ou after the vessel was baked and glazed, would not incorporate and therefore easily wore off, so that scarcely any of the Etruscan vases are perfect in the white parts. The colours however, though often damaged by abrasion, seem never to have faded, for those vases which have been well kept are as vivid as if they were the work of modern times. Beyond this, it may be sufficient to say that every country ON POTTERY AND POECE1ATN. IX had pottery of more or less perfection from very early pe- riods — Babylon, Armenia, Arabia, Scandinavia, the Celtic tribes, South America, Mexico, and especially China, which claims for this art the highest antiquity — and examples of most may be seen in the British Museum, the India House, the Geological Museum, Marlborough House, and other col- lections. Glass followed Pottery, and was likewise in use long before the commencement of the Christian era. Pliny tells us that in very remote times it was accidentally discovered by some Phoenicians, who supporting their kettle on two blocks of native soda over a strong fire on the banks of the river Belus, produced transparent streams of an unknown liquid, which proved to be glass.* We know, at any rate, that the first glass makers were in Phoenicia and Egypt. Pliny praises the glass-makers of Sidon, and Herodotus and Theophrastus record the wonders of the glass houses of Tyre. The specimens of Greek and Roman glass before you illus- trate the perfection to which vitrifaction had been brought more than two thousand years ago. For lightness, colour, and form, they could not be surpassed by all the science of .the • present day. The small, light, ultramarine-blue bottle, deco- rated in three opaque colours, is an Amphora, of Greek work- manship, and being quite perfect, is of considerable value. The knowledge which the ancients had of vitrifaction would naturally lead to the discovery of the enamel required for Porcelain ; and there is reason to believe that it was made in the East, especially in China, at a very early period. The transition from glass to Porcelain is-well illustrated in the small Roman Vase of white opaque glass before you. It is so en- tirely dotted with colour, yellow) red, and blue, that it has all the appearance of Porcelain. The Middle ages did not, as far as we now know, add any- thing to the progress of the Ceramic art, although Venice, long before the "fifteenth century, had achieved wonders in glass- work, and other countries excelled in enamelling, especially Byzantium from the fourth to the thirteenth century, f and Limoges from the tenth to the sixteenth, and later. Of Byzantine work there is no specimen here, and of Limoges it * Pliny's Natural History (Bohn), vol. vi. p. 379. t See p. 129, &c. of the present Catalogue, X AN ILLTTSTEATED LECTURE will be more convenient to speak in another section. I will, therefore, make a great jump to Luca della Robbia, a Ceramic artist of the fourteenth century, of great and deserved fame. Lttca della Robbia studied under Leonardo, a skilful goldsmith of Florence, about the middle of the fourteenth century. Finding his genius for design cramped by the slow process of working in metal, he devoted himself first to sculp- ture in stone, and then to modelling in clay or wax, as being more easily manipulated. His first productions were in a whitish clay, without glaze, and proclaim the powers of the master. After many experiments, he succeeded in discovering an opaque, white, highly lustrous enamel, which gave to his clay forms the polish of glass, and the durability of marble. His subjects were mostly figures or bas-reliefs, adapted to the decoration of churches and palaces. He soon added colours, principally yellow, blue, green, and violet, upon white His brothers and their descendants continued to work in the same style. One of them, Girolamo, was called to France to decorate the so-called Chateau de Madrid, the palace of Francis I. in the Bois de Boulogne, nicknamed the Chdteau de Faience. In the French Revolution this was recklessly demolished, and the beautiful decorations of Delia Robbia fayence, which had cost upwards of £615,000, crushed to atoms, and made into cement. As terra cotta and enamelled sculpture continued to be made by Luca della Robbia and his descendants for upwards of a century and a half, specimens of the later periods are not of very great rarity ; but it is difficult to authenticate any of the first period, indeed they are scarcely be met with out of Italy. Many of the churches and old buildings of Florence are still decorated with bas-relief figures of the Della Robbia school, and some of them are not unlikely to be by the founder himself. I have here, as a specimen of the ware, a broken but bold example of coloured fruits, which may or may not have escaped from the wreck of the Chateau de Faience • and I have also a small group of figures of Raphelesque beauty not unlikely to be by one .of the Delia Robbias ■ but the parts which are unglazed have, I suspect, been sand- papered and coloured afresh,— not an uncommon practice with Italian artists. ON POTTEET AUK POECEIAIN'. XI Majolica, or as it is variously called Faenza, Gvhbio, Vmbrian, or Raphael Ware, is a beautiful enamelled earthen- ware of the end of the fifteenth and early part of the sixteenth century. Its original title of Majolica is supposed to have been derived from Majorca, because it much resembles, and was, perhaps, founded on the Moorish pottery and enamelled dishes brought from Majorca by the Pisans in the twelfth cen- tury, and afterwards by the other trading cities along the coast. The Spanish Moors were, no doubt, far advanced in the manufacture of decorative pottery, as we see by their painted tiles and magnificent vase in the Alhambra ; and during the whole of the Italian Majolica period they still continued to supply Europe with their beautiful works. Their iridescent or metallic lustre plates, of the fourteenth and fifteenth century, certainly have very much the character of the early Italian Majolica, and the patterns in both are often purely Alhamhraic. An early and fine enamelled plate of Moresque pattern will show the character of the Majolica manufacture, and a so-called Hispano-Arab Majolica plate will show the Italian version of it. Although it seems very likely that the term Majolica was derived from Majorca, there is no evidence that it was so called among writers earlier than Scaliger,* who wrote in 1557, and Ferrari,+ who lived in the next century. It appears at first to have been called Faenza, where it was principally made or exported. This want of positive testimony permits me to propound a theory which may at least amuse. I assume that the term may have arisen from the family of Maioli, (called Maggioli) of Ferrara, who, at the end of the fifteenth and beginning of the sixteenth century, were promoters of the fine arts, and distinguished for taste and vertu. Aldus, then at Venice, printed for Lorenzo Maioli in 1497 ; and some of the finest specimens of Italian binding, between 1 500 and 1530, bear the inscription "Maioli et amicorum," and are called Maioli bindings. These are now as valuable as Majo- lica dishes. Majolica appears to have been first made at Faenza and * In his " Excrcitationes Exoticse," first published at Paris in 1567. f In hie " Origines Linguae Italics." Padua, 1676. X li AN ILLTJSTBATED LECTTTBE Pesaro, then at Gubbio, and afterwards at Urbino, the birth- place of Raphael, Perugia, Ferrara, Monte-lupo, Naples, and other places in Italy. It is said that Raphael furnished patterns for this ware, and even painted some of it: but there is no positive evidence; and as he died in 1520, and the best specimens of art, as regards drawing, are after rather than before his death, it has by many been thought improbable. Indeed, OuidobaUo, Duke of Urbino from 1538 to 1574, the great patron of Majolica, is known to have begun collecting Raphael's sketches several years after that painter's decease, for the purpose of decorating pottery. Previously, Andrea Mantegna, Marc Antonio, and the early masters of the Bolog- nese School, whose works had become familiar by engravings, were the type of nearly all the early Majolica paintings. After this period, the designs become more Raphelesque, — an evi- dence of which is in an Urbino plate before you, dated 1538. But the best specimen here of Majolica is a plate painted by Fba Xanto, of Urbino, in 1539, the second year of Guido- baldo's rule. It is very fine and very perfect, and has the ruby metallic lustre, or iridescence, which is a distinguishing feature in this ware, and the peculiar characteristic of the works of Maestro Gioegio, one of the most esteemed of the early Ceramic artists. The subject of the painting is an incident in the life of the tyrant Dionysius. One of his flat- terers, Damocles, in admiration of the tyrant's wealth and power, pronounced him the happiest man on earth ; on which Dionysius prevailed on him to undertake a season of royalty, and test the happiness which a sovereign is supposed to enjoy. You see here the so-called feast of Damocles, where a sword is suspended over his head by a single hair, as a symbol of the dangers to which a king is exposed. The costume, the furniture of the table, and other incidentals of the tableau, give the plate an interest independent of its technical merits. At Mr. Bernal's sale, was a plate supposed to represent Raphael and Fornarina, in the studio of an artist, employed in painting a piece of Majolica. The general impression seemed to be that it was painted by Raphael himself, or at least during his life-time ; and under that fiction, it sold for OTT POTTERY AND POECELATB'. xill s6120, but it was evidently painted long after Raphael's death. The plate, however, is one of great beauty, and of considerable -value as a work of art.* - During all the great Majolica period, and even to the end of the century, it was the fashion for lovers to present their mistresses, or their betrothed, with small ornamental pieces, called Amatorii — generally plates, dishes, or vases — adorned with the portrait and christian name of their favoured fair. They are for the most part more interesting for costume than the beauty of the lady. The plates before you — one early, the other late — are good specimens of this class. The artistic character of Majolica declined, and almost ceased, before the end of the sixteenth century, but was re- vived in the next century, at Naples. Of this late, or Neapo- litan ware, the present jug and plate are good examples. The colour, as you will see, is thinner and colder than the earlier specimens, and the drawing more correct. A very similar jug, but bolder and more vivid in its colouring, is sup- posed to be of the manufacture of Monte-lupo. In the meantime, the taste for Majolica had spread to other countries, particularly to France, in the reign of Francis the First, no doubt introduced by Katharine de Medicis, daughter of the Duke of Urbino, who had married the king's son, after- wards Henry II., in 1533. This kind of enamelled earthen- ware, then termed Fayence (supposed from Faenza, the great emporium of Pottery), was in full perfection when Henry II. ascended the throne in 1547, and so continued till his death in 1558. The exquisite manufacture of this latter period is now distinguished as the Faience de Henri et Diane, and is of extraordinary value. This may well excuse my not having any to show you. Some French antiquaries, it may be here observed, claim a greater age for the French term Fayence, and insist that it is derived from Fayence, an obscure town in France, where there is said to have been a Pottery long before it existed at Faenza, in Italy. The Fayence, now called Nevebs, was, it should appear, manufactured during these early periods, but came to no per- fection till Louis Gonzaga, kinsman of Katharine de Medicis, ■* Now at the S. Kensington Museiitn, xiv AN ILLITSTEATED LECTUBE succeeded to the Dukedom of Nevers, in 1565, and imported artists from Italy. It was at first of fine Italian character, similar to Majolica, but in time degenerated to very ordinary Fayence, such as you see before you, which is a piece in the two characteristic colours of this ware, blue and orange. Paiisst, that is, the Fayence or enamelled Pottery which passes under his name, was made in France, about the middle of the sixteenth century. The discoverer was Bernard Pa- lissy, a man of humble birth, and almost without education, but extremely ingenious, and a most persevering enthusiast. His history is a romance. From low condition he became a land surveyor, acquired a taste for experimental chemistry, and taught himself painting by copying the works of the great masters ; and being one day struck with the beauty of a piece of enamelled pottery, valued at a high price, set about discovering the secret of its composition. In making experiments during several years, he exhausted every means in pursuit of his object, — spent all the money he could earn or borrow — burnt his tables, chairs, and other furniture, and even some of his flooring, to provide fuel for his furnace, — and reduced his wife and family to the last stage of distress. At length, however, in 1550, after between fifteen and sixteen years of experiment, he succeeded in dis- covering the composition of various enamels, and was patron- ized by all the great. But, in 1562, the year of the massacre of the Huguenots at Vassy, fresh troubles beset him, for he was a firm Protestant, and the edicts against the Protestants, followed by the massacre of St. Bartholomew in 1572, exposed him to continual danger and persecution. And though he escaped these for a time by royal protection in the Tuilleries, where many of his best works were produced, he could not, some years later (1576), escape the leaguers, who kept him in prison till his death, which took place in 1589. The Fayence of Palissy is very peculiar, always, as far as I have observed it, in relief and colours, and generally copied from subjects near at hand, especially fish, frogs, lizards shells, and plants, found in the vicinity of Paris. The prin- cipal specimen here is a fountain of exquisite workmanship one of those pieces which he called Rustiquefiguline. It is ornamented with shells, fish, and reptiles, of the Seine less gorgeous, but more painter-like than any other specimen I ON POTTEEY AND POBCELAIN. XV have yet seen. The other specimens are : a plate, covered ■with good-humoured faces, or masks, exactly like one in Mr. Bernal's collection ; and one perforated like a sieve, and beautifully decorated with masks and flowers, especially the little daisy called Marguerite, which he is supposed to have adopted as his mark in compliment to Marguerite de Navarre, his Protestant protectress. Perforated work either in pottery or porcelain is always of difficult workmanship, and bespeaks the artist. Next follows, as far as my specimens help me, the Pottery of Germany, Flanders, and England. The oldest here is a Cologne Jug, dated 1615. The earliest dated vessels of this kind of enamelled pottery yet known are about 1540 ; but there is printed evidence that the ware was made much earlier. German hard pottery or stone ware was made at the beginning of the sixteenth century ; the specimen here is not dated, but probably about 1560, and, I think, of Nurenberg manufac- ture. The polychromatic enamels, and the correct drawing, show a high state of the art. The fine large Turkey, a soup tureen and cover, which figures at a distance, is a specimen of Rotten Faience, or, as it used to be called, French Delft, and not unlikely to be one of those pieces of table service which Louis XIV. substituted for his silver plate, when in 1714 he heroically sent it all to the mint to defray the expenses of the war. The Dbiet specimen before you is of the seventeenth cen- tury, and of Japanese character, as was most of the Dutch pottery for many years. It was by means of the Dutch that England was principally supplied with the porcelain of China and Japan ; and as the supply was long unequal to the de- mand, they were led to imitation, in which they were very expert. The Delft manufacturers were in the habit of painting the common white ware with brilliant colours and passing it off as Chinese, but these pieces are now easily detected. There are some remarkably fine specimens of Delft in our public and private collections ; and this ware cannot but be interesting to an Englishman, as being, so to say, the parent of our native pottery. We have no authentic records of English pottery till late in the reign of Elizabeth, although there is no doubt that it was manufactured in various parts of this country during the XVI AW IXLTTSTBATED LECTDTtB Roman period, and very early in Staffordshire. There is a jug, dated 1594, in the Museum of Economic Geology, and several early pieces in the British Museum, but the most inte- resting relic of that period— the Elizabethan— is the Shakspeare Jug, of the date of 1603. Some think that even this was made in Flanders, or at least by Dutch or German workmen.* Our domestic vessels and utensils had previously been either gold, silver, electrum, or some other metal, or earthen ware supplied from abroad. When the workers in metal found that their trade was damaged by the extensive introduction of earthenware from the Low Countries, it is supposed they would apply their moulds to the purposes of pottery— hence the metallic forms of some of the early pieces. Here is an instance of English ware, which has all the appearance of beh>$f cast in a goldsmith's mould. <^After the age of Elizabeth, at different periods, there were several attempts at enamelled stone ware in England, espe- cially at Fulham, about 1 640 ; Lambeth, in 1 680 ; and Staf- fordshire, in 1 700 ; but little of a positive character is known of these early English manufactures, nor were they of any consequence till the time of Wedgwoojlr Wedgwood deserves especial notice. His career began about 1760, and continued till 1795, when he died. The son of a poor potter, at Burslem, his education was of the most mode- rate kind'. But he fought through adverse circumstances with as much endurance as Palissy himself, and by ex- traordinary energy and a diligent study of his art, succeeded ip- placing himself at the head of European manufacturers, ^flis early or cream-coloured ware was honoured with the patronage of Queen Charlotte, - and thence called. Queen's Ware ; afterwards, when he succeeded in giving-"to pottery the varied colours and brilliant glaze of porcelain, all the varieties of his manufacture bore his own name, which was stamped upon it. He employed Flaxman, among other dis- tinguished artists, for his designs ; and his earthenware cameos were so much esteemed, that they ranked in value with the * It is now pretty well ascertained, from certain peculiarities of the ware and form, that this famous Shakespeare jug is about a century later than its hitherto accredited date.

XTU choicest productions of Dresden and Sevresy^The specimens before you illustrate his best period. Tire Vase is covered with beautiful designs of Flaxman-like character, the Cameos are gems of minute workmanship. Wedgwood's enthusiasm for his art was such, that he bid as far as a thousand pounds for the Portland Vase when it was offered for sale ; and though he did not obtain it, he got permission to copy it ; and not being allowed to mould from it, lest it should sus- tain injury, he paid Mr. Webber four hundred pounds for making a model.* He then published fifty copies, at fifty guineas each, by subscription. f This celebrated Vase, which, as every one knows, was broken, a few years ago, in the British Museum, by a mad fanatic, is composed of two layers of vitrified paste or glass, one white, the other blue ; so perfect an imitation of an onyx cameo, that it was long regarded as a natural production. It was discovered about the middle of the tenth century, and is said to be many centuries earlier, and of Greek workmanship. Till it came into the possession of the Duchess of Portland, it was known to Europe as the Barberini Vase. Enamels form a direct link between Pottery and Porcelain, it will therefore be convenient to introduce the mention of them here. For early Byzantine examples, I must refer you to the British Museum, where there is a valuable collection. Limoges, of which there are several specimens before you, is a painted enamel on copper, generally of great beauty, which pre- vailed universally as an article of decoration till gradually supei- seded by the introduction of the higher classes of faience and porcelain. It attained its greatest perfection in the sixteenth century, and went entirely out in the seventeenth. The exam- ples before you illustrate several different qualities and periods. The earliest are two beautifully-wrought classical miniatures — Themistocles and Cleomenes — in rich colours and gold, pro- bably by Leonard Limousin, about 1535. The next is a cup, * This statement is on the authority of Wedgwood's contemporary, Mr. Partes, the chemist. f It is asserted by some that he did not finish tiff and complete half the intended number, and that only those marked at the bottom in pencilled figures are what were actually delivered to subscribers. There are modern copies of this vase, which have but little value.

Near it is a cup, with orna- ments in relief, and Roman portraits in colours, by J.Laudvn, one of the most prolific of the Limoges artists. Ihe two other cups, with mythological and hunting subjects, are ot a later date, and, it should seem, in the decadence of the art The Limoges picture in chiaro-scuro touched with gold, is copied from Albert Durer's celebrated engraving of " Christ with Martha and Mary," and is probably about 1550, and the artist Raymond. The other picture in rich colours — " Christ on the Mount"— and which, for an enamel, is of rather a large size — is in the manner of Lucas Cranach, and preserves all the treatment of the early German School. Like the preceding, it is unmarked, hut may be guessed at near 1550. The last is a small plate, probably by Jean Courtois, similar in general character to the well-known plates of the Months, of which there were several in Mr. Bernal's col- lection.* The subject is "Abraham offering up his son Isaac," in black and white, or chiaro-scuro, tinted with red and gold, and surrounded by an arabesque border ; the back is orna- mented with a female bust, and likewise surrounded by arabesques. It is not my intention to descant upon enamels, but rather to confine myself more immediately to pottery and porcelain ; but while I am on the subject, I cannot help calling your attention to a Chinese Enamel — a bottle and stand of ex- quisite workmanship, — of a class called cloisonne, and probably of the twelfth century ; and also to a beautiful enamel from Horace Walpole's collection — the Countess of Conway — by Zincke, a Germano-English artist, who has never been sur- passed; and lastly, to some fine miniatures, chiefly of the Court of Charles the Second, by both the elder and younger Henry Bone. We will now turn to Porcelain, and begin with China, in which kingdom it no doubt originated. Porcelain is an intermediate substance between pottery and glass, more translucent than the one, more opaque than the other, and presumed to be of Chinese origin ; either before * See Nos. 1467—1470, and 1490; at pp. 153—160 of present Cata- logue.

Be this as it may, there is evidence of its use in the fifth century; and in the beginning of the fourteenth, the famous porcelain Tower of Nankin was built, three hundred and thirty feet high, and is still standing. It consists of nine stories of enamelled bricks or tiles, in five colours, white, red, blue, green, and brown. Indeed, the Chinese would probably have built our Crystal Palace in porcelain had it been projected at Nankin. Chinese porcelain did not come fully into Europe till the sixteenth century, when it was brought first by the Portuguese, and then by the Butch and Italian traders. The term porce- lain is supposed to be derived from the Portuguese word porcellana, which originally signified a little pig, then a cowrie shell, from the similarity of its shape to the back of a pig, and afterwards a porcelain cup. Dr. Johnson whimsically derives the term from: "pour cent annees," from a notion to which I shall presently allude'. In England it was at first called Oonbrbn, because at that settlement in the Per- sian Gulf the East India Company used to exchange for it with the Chinese. The Chinese kept their manufacture a great secret, and pre- tended it was made of egg-shells, sea-shells, and other mat- ters, mixed in given proportions and buried for eighty or a hundred years (that is, pour cent annies) ; and for two cen- turies Europe, led astray perhaps by these fictions, endea- voured in vain to discover the composition of their white transparent paste. Every nation seems to have attached great value to Chinese porcelain, and justly, for we are told that their fine specimens were made with so much care, that out of two hundred pieces they would sometimes destroy a hundred and ninety-nine as not sufficiently perfect. It is recorded by Sir Thomas Roe, in 1615, that the Great Mogul had one of his attendants of rank whipped for breaking a cup,' and then sent him to China, at his own expense, to buy another. You have before you a specimen of the so called egg-shell china, a cup and saucer, which is extremely thin and transpa- rent ; but it is not necessarily so thin, as you see by the ena- melled plate painted with birds, which is likewise egg-shell. The other specimens are an early vase, with raised flowers, XX AN IXLTJSTEATED LECTTJKE not very unlike Dresden work, and a little monster teapot with chimsera for the handle and spout ; also a citron-yellow cup of very pure colour. This yellow porcelain was exclusively made for imperial use, and its export prohibited. Mr. Beck- ford had some of these yellow cups and saucers, which at his sale produced so much excitement among collectors, and sold for such extravagant prices, that it was nick-named the yel- low fever, The Chinese attach great value to their crackle, which, though it looks like damaged glaze, is produced by art ; also to their ruby colour, their sea-green and their turquoise blue. A specimen of the latter, a josse or kylin, from Mr. Bernal's sale,* supposed to be five or six hundred years old, will show you the perfection to which the Chinese had brought this favourite colour, which, though successfully imitated at Sevres, and only at Sevres, has never been surpassed. I will not dwell longer on the porcelain of the Chinese, which would require a volume for its history, save to men- tion their ingenuity. The sea-green cup in my hand is called the Cup of Tantalus, and by the French " Surprise hydraulique." If you merely fill it to the shoulder of the blue Chinaman within, it will hold water, but add another drop, and it all runs out ; this is accomplished by means of a concealed syphon. They have many other hydraulic and scientific ingenuities in porcelain, which may be seen in some of our museums. Japanese poecelaiu has much similarity to that of China, and existed at almost as remote a period. The paste is generally more brilliant, the glaze tinged with blue, and the ornamentation simpler and bolder, often in relief. The favourite colours ^of the Japanese are yellow, blue, and red, and they excel in perforated work. The Portuguese were the first to bring it into Europe, early in the sixteenth century, and were themselves in the next century driven out of Japan by meddling, through their mis- sionaries, with the ware, getting legends of saints substituted for the native patterns. Some of the specimens, now re- garded as the most curious and interesting, are those in which the Jesuits have covertly introduced the cross, or some other emblem of Christianity. The yellow holy water vessels before * See No. 12 of the Catalogue. OS POTTEEY AHB FOECELAIlT. XXI you must have been of the Jesuits' period, as they belong to Catholic worship. The first European manufactory of true porcelain was at Meissen, near Dresden, in the beginning of the eighteenth century. John Frederick Bottcher, an apothecary's assistant at Berlin, being suspected of alchemy, had been obliged to fly his native country to avoid prosecution, and took refuge in Dresden. Here the king, after questioning him closely as to his knowledge of the art of making gold, placed him in the royal laboratory under Tschirnhous, who was then engaged in searching for an universal medicine. Bottcher, in the course of his experiments, unexpectedly produced a composition which assumed many of the characteristics of oriental porcelain. The king, perceiving the importance of the discovery, immediately transferred him to the Castle of Albrechtsberg, at Meissen, and afterwards, with his companion workmen, under an escort of cavalry, to the fortress of Konigstein, where he continued his experiments. In 1707, having obtained the confidence of the king, he returned to Dresden, where he pursued his expe- riments with great vigour and eventual success. His first pro- ductions were only a kind of semi-porcelain, or red stone ware ;* but in 1709, he succeeded in producing white porce- lain, which, though it at first bent and cracked in the fire, was brought to perfection in 1715. This is generally ad- mitted to have been thejirst European discovery of porcelain, and its quality has never been exceeded. Bottcher was so devoted to his object, that on making some great experiment, he is said to have sat up five days and nights watching the furnace. How he composed his artificial paste is not now known ; but the natural paste, or kaolin, which he afterwards so suc- cessfully used, was discovered by accident. A rich iron- master, named Schnorr, in riding over his estate, found that his horse's feet continually stuck fast in some soft and per- fectly white earth. Hair powder being at that time a great object of commerce, it occurred to him that it might be made of this earth, and experience justified his discernment. This powder soon becoming an article of general use in Saxony, fell into the bands of Bottcher, who perceiving, by its weight, that it must be an earth, tried it in the fire, and found, to his great * See present Catalogue, p. 3. xxii AN ILLUSTRATED LECTTTBE joy, that it was the very material he wanted, that is, true ka- olin. Upon this, by order of the king, it was carried to the manufactory in sealed barrels, by persons sworn to secrecy, and its exportation strictly prohibited. Indeed, everything connected with the Dresden manufactory was carried on with a degree of secrecy that in the present day would seem quite ridiculous : the workmen were bound by the most solemn oaths, and were confined within a castle, having all the character of a fortress, which they were never allowed to leave, and into which no stranger was permitted to enter. " Be secret until Death," was the motto hung up in every department. The specimens of Dresden before you are of three different periods : of the first, or B'dttcher ware, a.iei or jasper-coloured teapot, with Chinese figures in colour and gold ; of the middle period, some shaped cups and saucers, and a sucrier and cover, of very fine paste, beautifully paii>ted with Watteau sub- jects ; and of the late, or what is called the Marcolini period, a cup, cover, and stand, the latter with a guard in the centre of it ; the colour is gros-blue, and the designs after Angelica Kauffman. The Dresden mark is, and for more than a century always has been, two electoral swoi-ds crossed, so that the Dresden of the present day can only be distinguished from the original by a practised eye. Notwithstanding all the vigilance of the Elector of Saxony and his gens-d'armes, one of the workmen, named Stobzel, escaped about or just before Bottcher's death, which took place in 1719, and he got safely to Vienna. The importance of porcelain, as an article of commerce, was so strongly recognised by the German princes, that he was received with open arms. Thus arose, in 1 720, the great manufactory of Vienna, which has since produced some won- derful specimens of workmanship, especially in gilding, but the paste is not equal to Dresden. The specimens here are a cup, cover, and saucer, painted in classical taste, a plate in raised gold work of most perfect workmanship, and a plate richly painted within a raised gold border, subject, "The Education of Cato." The Vienna mark is a shield with the arms of Austria. The secret having got to Vienna, could not easily be con- ON EOTTEEY AND POECEIAIST. XX1U cealed ; and as every state regarded it as scarcely second to gold mines, it transpired by degrees in a great many direc- tions, notwithstanding the continued precautions of the Elector of Saxony, and the jealousy with which each successive pos- sessor endeavoured to keep it from spreading. As workmen increased they dispersed, and before the middle of the century arose the manufactories of H'dchst, in Mayence ; Fiirstenberg, in Brunswick ; Frankenthal, in the Palatinate ; Nymphenburg, in Bavaria ; Baden, Ludwigsburg, and Berlin. The men who possessed the secret continually changed masters as oppor- tunities offered, and among these was especially one Ringler, who seems always to have been open to the best bidder. At all these places some very fine specimens were occa- sionally produced. H'Ochst is famous for its statuettes and for the violet-red and deep blue colours of its porcelain of the early period, but the paste is not quite equal to Dresden. Fiirstenberg comes very close to Dresden, but, excepting some few instances, is inferior to it both in paste and painting. Frankenthal, often called " Carl Theodor," because for a long period under his patronage, produced very good porcelain, but nothing equal to Dresden, though conducted by Hanung, through whom and his son hard paste was introduced at Sevres. Ludwigsburg, better known as Kronenburg, is often of high quality, the figures well modelled, and the paintings executed with artistic excellence. Drawings in bistre were a favourite decoration. The paste was imported from France, and the best German artists employed. The figures and plateau before you I think confirm my character of it. Passing Nymphenburg, Baden, and other early manu- factures of hard paste, of which there are no specimens here, I come to Beelin, which is second only to Dresden, and in some instances quite equal to it. The Berlin factory was founded in 1751, by means of a merchant who bought the secret from some Hochst workmen. During the Seven Years' War, 1756-1763, Frederic the Great, alive to the importance of what was becoming a staple article of commerce, transported, by force, all the best Dresden artists to his own capital, Berlin, where they continued and settled, to the great damage for a time of the parent establishment. The plates before you are of different periods, early and late, and beautifully painted ; the cup and saucer, ornamented with views of Berlin xxiv AN ILLTJSTEATED LECTTTEE and Potsdam, is part of a service presented to the Duke of York by the King of Prussia, nearly half a century ago. The Berlin mark is a sceptre. . We now come to what may be called the great period ot soft paste, which begins with Chelsea. Though a factory existed there in the reign of Queen Anne, it does not appear to have produced anything but ordinary ware till some time after the Hanoverian accession, and did not reach perfection till about 1750, when, under the direction of a foreigner named Spremont, the Duke of Cumberland, son of George I., then about thirty years old, took the manufactory under his especial protection, and is said to have provided funds^ for it. A year or two before his death, which took place in 1765, the director Spremont retired, which circumstance, added to the influx of foreign porcelain, ruined the establishment, and the models and workmen were transferred to Derby. During its zenith, the porcelain made there was of singular beauty, especially the Vases, now worth fabulous prices. A set of seven were lately sold at three thousand pounds. — But Chelsea was never cheap ; for we are told by Horace Walpole, that even in 1 763, a service made for the Duke of Mecklenburgh cost twelve hundred pounds at the factory. The paste of Chelsea porcelain is extremely soft, and will not hear tampering with by a second firing. The predominant colours are deep blue, often a little wavy, claret red, canary yellow, and sea green, with rich and solid gilding ; and the ornaments are generally birds, especially peacocks. The cup and saucer before you, and the Shepherd and Shepherdess, are examples of the best period. The vases — one set with landscapes, the other of Oriental character — are probably a little earlier. Excepting the last, they all bear the usual Chelsea mark — an anchor in red or gold. Bow China, produced at rather a considerable establish- ment at Stratford-le-Bow, is about coeval with that of Chelsea, and ceased about the same time, or rather before. Its ordinary ware is of so much the same character, as scarcely to be distinguishable when neither are marked. It is generally shaped and tastefully embossed, sometimes with a bee mo- delled or painted in a conspicuous part, but the usual mark is a triangle. I never heard of any highly wrought and ex- pensive vases such as there are of Chelsea ; the finest known ON POTTEinr AND POECELAHT. XXV specimen is perhaps a painted bowl in the British Museum, which is accompanied by a curious account of the factory. The only specimen here is a shaped tea-pot and stand, ornamented with raised tulip leaves in colours, marked at the bottom with triangles in a circle. The paste is very white, and in general quite as good as Chelsea. Next follows the so-called Chelsea-Debby. The models, and most of the workmen, having, as I have just said, been transferred from Chelsea to this factory, it produced, after 1765, some very fine porcelain, but never anything quite equal to the best specimens of its predecessor ; and the paste, though fine, is somewhat less transparent. This factory, now long discontinued, was in full operation in 1777, as we learn from Dr. Johnson, who says that the china was beautiful, but as dear as silver. The bright blue vases and the flesh-co- loured candelabra figures are of this manufacture, and have the usual mark of a D crossed by an anchor. We now come to Worcester, the most important in a mer- cantile sense of all the English manufactories of porcelain, whether soft or hard. The factory was established in 1751 by Dr. Wall, a physician, well skilled in chemistry, who had suc- cessfully employed himself in researches and experiments to- wards the improvement of porcelain. To him is attributed the first idea of transferring printed patterns to porcelain, an in- vention of very considerable importance. At first an imi- tation of the Nankin blue and white ware, as well as of the Japan, both then very popular in this country, were the prin- cipal articles of manufacture ; but very soon the Sivres and Dresden patterns, especially the bleu-de-roi and salmon-scale grounds of the former, and the birds, flowers, and insects of the latter, were successfully copied. The paste, even of the first and best periods, distinguished as Old' Worcester, is not quite so fine as Chelsea, although I think quite equal to the generality of Derby, and it possessed the advantage of keeping its colour in use, without cracking in the glaze. No porcelain before or since has ever been more deservedly popular. These works passed in 1783 to Mr. Flight, afterwards Flight and Barr; in 1839 to Messrs Chamberlain, and in 1850 to Messrs. Kerr and Binns, who now conduct them with great spirit. The specimens here are a small sugar vase XXVI AJST ELLTJSTEATED 1ECTUEE and cover, of old Worcester, of which the paste and gilding are worthy of Chelsea ; a flower vase on stand, signed. Flight, Barr, and Barr, charmingly painted with passion flowers, on a light blue ground, and for which I remember being asked five guineas more than thirty years ago ; a teapot and stand, with the arms and supporters of Nelson, part of a service made for him by Messrs. Chamberlain in 1802, when the freedom of the city was conferred upon him ; and a cup and saucer of extremely thin or egg-shell china, the sample of a tea service recently made by Messrs. Kerr and Binns for Her Majesty. I have no specimens of the many other English manufac- tories, past and present, and no time to consider them, but I cannot conclude this section without a tribute to Messrs. Minton of Stoke, several of whose beautiful productions are exhibited here by an immediate neighbour. Their decorative porcelain, as here seen in plates and vases, and their imitations of Majolica and Palissy, are quite equal, if not superior to, anything that can now be produced at Sevres, while they are infinitely cheaper ; and their Parian figures, a manufacture, I believe, of their own creation, are unrivalled for skilful work- manship and grace. The elaborate and highly wrought figures and vases in bisquit, in the same group, are, I am told, not by Mr. Minton, but by Messrs. Alcoc/c, who excel in this department. Those who would know more of our present English manu- facturers, must consult the Jury reports of the Exhibition of 1851.* This concludes my rapid sketch of the ' pate tendre ' of Eng- land, and I now turn to that of France, beginning with Sevres, the most renowned of all. SEVRES. This beautiful porcelain originated at St. Cloud, where an artist named Morin, after more than twenty-five years of ex- * I hare lately been told that among the present manufacturers, Messrs. Jiose, ot Coalbrookdale, hold a distinguished position for their fine porce- lain, and especially for their clever imitations of Sevres and Dresden Their principal agents are Messrs. Danells, of Bond Street ON POTTEBY AND POECELAIN. XXVU periment, succeeded in discovering an artificial soft paste. In 1735, a runaway carried the secret to ChantiiiYj and in 1 740, it was conveyed in like fashion to Vincenites. It was not, however, till several years later, that it arrived at perfec- tion, and not till 1753, when Louis XV. took a share in the establishment, that its recognised date commenced. Three years after this, the factory became too small for its extend- ing operations, and was removed to Sevres. The extraordinary perfection to which this porcelain ar- rived, is especially attributable to the patronage of Madame de Pompadour, who, from 1744 to 1764, was the strenuous supporter of all the elegant arts. The 'pdte tendre ' manufacture, however, was limited to the use of the wealthy, and never became a staple article of commerce, as .the difficulty of its composition, and the loss sustained by its liability to fall in the process of firing, made it of slow produce, and very expensive. The true porcelain, or hard paste, such as was used by the Chinese, and had re- cently been discovered at Dresden, still remained unknown at Sevres, in defiance of the unremitting researches made to dis- cover the secret. In 1761, G. A. Hanung, son of the founder of the Frankenthal factory, sold them the secret ; but it was comparatively useless, for want of the white earth called Kaolin, which had not been found in France, notwithstanding the di- ligent enquiries "of scientific men. Chance led to its discovery in 1768. A poor woman, named Darnet, the wife of a surgeon at St. Yrieix, near Limoges, found some unctuous earth in a ravine, which she thought might be used as a cheap substitute for soap. On showing it to her husband, who was aware of the enquiries made for a porcelain earth, he took it to a neighbouring chemist, through whose means it was proved to be the true Kaolin. This led to the hard paste manufacture at Sevres, which, from ] 765 to the present time, has been on a very extensive scale, and given employment to thousands all over the kingdom. The woman who discovered it was, in 1825, still living, and in poverty, unable to return home for want of means. She applied to Mons. Brongniart, then the superintendent of Sevres, upon whose recommendation Louis XVIII., on being made acquainted with her miserable condition, granted her a pen- sion from the civil list. AN ILLUSTRATED LECTCTEE Notwithstanding this important discovery of true Kaolin, soft paste continued to he used, for the higher objects of art, till 1804, as the artists found they could not produce such brilliant effects in glaze and colouring on hard paste as were yielded by the softer material. The value of Sevres consists in its creamy and pearly sott- ness, the beauty of its painting, and the depth of its glaze ; and these qualities are only united in great perfection in the pdte tendre of the early period. I have, however, seen some specimens of ' hard paste,' which, as works of art in respect to painting, could not be surpassed. All descriptions of old Sevres are now collected with eager- ness, and sell for high prices ; but 'pieces de luxe,' which are generally painted by the best artists on grounds of ' bleu de roi,' 'gros bleu," turquoise,' 'Rose Dubarry,' 'jonquille' (a canary yellow), 'vert-pr<§' (a bright green), or ' oeil de perdrix' .(partridge eye), sell at auctions for sums almost fabulous. At Mr. Bernal's sale, a pair of Rose Dubarry Vases (No.469) sold for £1942 10*.; a pair of turquoise Vases (No. 470) for ^61417 10*. ; a single bleu de roi Vase (599) for £871 10*. ; a single green Vase, with a painting after Greuze (No. 597), for £388 10*. ; a cup and saucer (No. 451), painted by Morin, for £160 ; and a jewelled cup and saucer (No. 571), was thought cheap at £80. And since Mr. Bernal's sale, this kind of property has increased in price rather than dimi- nished. The specimens before you, though not of this extravagant character, are fine, and illustrate the different periods and qualities. The earliest is a cup " bleu du roi," of the Vin- cennes period, being marked B, which stands for 1754. The next is a sucrier and cover of 'gros-bleu,' which is of a deeper shade than ' bleu de roi,' marked M, that is 1 764 ; the third is a cup of turquoise colour, painted in medallions, and well gilt, marked P, which is 1768, the year before the use of hard paste ; the fourth is a ' Rose Dubarry ' cup and cover of soft paste, ornamented with a miniature worthy of Greuze, but without any mark beyond the double L, but probably about 1780. The others are cups or plates, of different periods and co- lours, mostly of soft paste ; but there are several of hard paste so beautifully painted that, as works of art, seem to me quite ON POTTEBY AND POBCELAIN. XXIX as interesting. The large plaque (20 inches by 14) in a gilt frame, which looks like an enamel, is a copy of a very fine picture by Karl du Jardin, formerly in the Louvre. It is said to have been executed at Sevres during the Napoleon period, for a Russian nobleman, at an agreed price of 3500 francs. While the establishment at Sevres was progressing, manu- factories of soft paste porcelain arose in several other parts of France, of which Chantilly and Touunay, both represented here by good speciniens, were among the best, and are occa- sionally very fine. Omitting the many hard paste manufac- tories of this period, I will say a few words of Italy and Spain, and then conclude. Capo di Monte is undoubtedly the most beautiful of Italian porcelain. What is recognised under this name is, for the most part, moulded in high relief, and the best quality richly coloured and gilt. The earlier manufacture is less brilliant than the later, both in paste and colouring, but all are very valuable. Owing to the large prices which some specimens produced at Lady Blessington'ssale — a cream ewer twenty-six guineas* — an inundation of forgeries has come in from the neighbourhood of Naples ; so that it requires great caution not to be cheated. My specimens are two plaques, one green, the other white, of the Caesars, and a cup and saucer. Doccia, in the neighbourhood of Florence, had a manufac- tory of porcelain, but hard, a few years before Capo di Monte. It is now one of the largest in Europe, employing, it is said, upwards of 2000 persons. Its early productions are not equal, either in paste or treatment, to those of the present century. The cup and saucer before you, tastefully painted in medallions, and bearing Florentine arms, is a favourable specimen of this manufacture. Venice had a manufactory which produced a fine enamelled pottery, called in England " Venus Purselayne," long before the cities we have just mentioned, and appears also to have made porcelain at an early period. We know that our Chelsea factory was originally carried on by glass-workers from Venice, and there is so much similarity between the best periods of Vene- tian and Chelsea porcelain, that it seems very probable the same workmen were concerned, which is further confirmed by * Even higher prices were realised at Mr. Bernal's sale. See p. 36. XXX Alf ILLUSTEATED LECTURE, ETC. both having adopted an anchor as the factory mark. The beautiful plate before you, though distinctly marked with the Venetian anchor, is so exactly like Chelsea, both in paste and decoration, that it might easily be mistaken for it. I have nothing more to say of Italy; and of Spain can merely refer to the factory taken from Capo di Monte in 1759 by Charles III., and transferred to Biten Retibo, a Royal palace near Madrid. This porcelain, which is very much like Capo di Monte, is extremely rare and beautiful. There are no speci- mens here, and very few anywhere, it being extremely rare. And here I must conclude with a short quotation from that sprightly letter-writer, Lady Mary Wortley Montague. " Old china is below nobody's taste, since it has been the Duke of Argyll's, whose understanding has never been doubted either by his friends or enemies." CONTENTS.

OLD CHELSEA. The establishment of the Chelsea manufactory is not correctly known. It became one of importance in 1745, since the company which at that time desired the exclusive privilege of establishing a Porcelain manufactory at Vincennes (subsequently that at Sevres), urged the benefit that France would gain by having works which should exclude the German and English, porcelain. _ . It was especially patronised by George II., who procured models work- men, and even materials, from Saxony and Brunswick. The period of the greatest excellence of the Chelsea Porcelain is con- sidered to have been between 1750 and 1763 ; and there was so much de- mand for it, that dealers are described as surrounding the doors of the works, purchasing the pieces as soon as they were fired, and large prices were paid for them. Mr. Marryat quotes part of a letter from Horace "Walpole to Sir Horace Mann, of the 4tn March, 1763, in which he mentions having seen a set of Chelsea Porcelain about to be presented by the King and Queen to the Duke of Mecklenberg, which was to cost 12002. The works were discontinued in 1764, and the manufactory was then removed to Derby. 487 A pair of oval dishes, crimson borders, painted with birds, butterflies, and fruits. 13/. 13s.

F B MONOGEAMS AND MAEKS POUND ON POTTEEY AND POECELAIN. TAKEN FBOM BEONGNIABT'S * MUSEE CEEAMIQUE," OB FEOM SPECIMENS IN THE POSSES- SION OP THE EDITOE AND HIS FRIENDS. The earliest productions — Chinese, Egyptian, Oriental, Etrus- can, Greek, Roman, Moorish (including Hispano-Mauro ware), Peruvian, Delia Eobbia, and many other kinds — are gene- rally without marks. The age and country of such can only be determined by a practised eye. And so, too, is much of the modem pottery and porcelain — German, French, Italian (in- cluding Capo da Monti) and English. But even marks are not always to be relied on, as they are sometimes forged, especially those of Shires and Chelsea. When the mark is covered by the glaze instead of being merely pencilled on after the piece was made, there is some little guide ; but as this can be imitated, and some genuine pieces have the factory marks put on over the glaze, there is no invariable rule. Be- sides which, certain manufactories, both in this country and abroad, counterfeit entire pieces very successfully. Luca della Eobbia is fully entitled to stand at the head of this section, although no marks exist by which his works can be identified. He was born in 1388, and died about 1430, in his 42nd year. His works — chiefly figures and bas- reliefs — are just what would be expected from an Italian sculp- tor, who worked in enamelled Terra-cotta (called also terra invitriata or vitrified earth) for churches. His earlier pieces seem to have been entirely white, some of them unglazed ; his later ones, white figures on vivid blue grounds, sometimes decorated with blue,' green, golden, or orange tints. He was succeeded by his brothers and descendants, who carried on the manufacture for nearly a century and a half. Their works have in later times been frequently and well imitated in Flo- rence and Doccia. u2 436 I P. HISPANO-MAURO WAEE. It seems necessary to notice this before proceeding to the recognized Italian Majolica. Some of this Spanish-Arab ware is apparently of early date, and may have been the parent of those dishes and vessels of Moresque pattern ■which seem to have been made in Italy late in the fifteenth and throughout the sixteenth century, They are generally of a coppery or rusty brown colour and highly lustrous, as if gilt or bronzed, (whence they are sometimes called metallic pottery,) and the decorations are quite Alhambraic, seldom introducing more than one subject — a doe, a lion, or an Arabic monogram — in the centre or on the back. They are by no means uncommon, and range in price below the finer descriptions of Majolica. Specimens may be seen in the Kensington Museum, and in the British Museum. Mr. Bernal had several, see No. 1900, &c. There are plates enamelled on metal of the same Moorish character, called in Bernal' s Catalogue, Moresco-Hispano. SeeNos. 1581, 1582. PesAEO. Supposed to mean In Pesaro, or to be the Monogram of Maestro Je- ronimo Pesaro, from 1520 to 1550. Pesaro ware is of a somewhat distinct character, often deep blue or purple and white, with orange borders of flowers. It is sometimes marked with these letters, but at Cluny is a plate marked with only a P. The specimens in Mr. Bernal's collection were very artistic, and highly finished. See Nos. 1849 and 2070, both dated 1620; also a plate dated 1535, marked " fato in Pesaro." Bernal, No. 2042. Reduced size. Pes ABO ?

It may be noted here, that much of the Gubbio ware, including both the early and later works of Maestro Giorgio, is without marks. GUBBIO. Maestro Giorgio. From a plate at Marlborough House representing St. Francis receiving the Stigmata. The dated specimens of this artist are mostly between 1518 and 1541. One of his finest compositions, an altar- piece, consisting of many hundred figures, was executed as early as 1618, for a church at Gubbio, and is now in the Museum at Frankfort. The finest specimen, at any rate the most costly yet sold by auction, was a highly lustrous plate, dated 1525, decorated with a painting of the thkek graces, after Marc Antonio, which was lately bought for Mr.Foun- taine, at Mr. Roussel's sale, at Paris, for four hundred guineas.

Signature not yet deciphered, found" on a plate, much in the style of ' Maestro Giorgio and Xanto. From Passeri., fir S.P.Q.R. GtJBBlO. This monogram occurs on a fine large early dish, with the arms of the Torregiani family in the centre, sur- rounded by a wreath of foliage and a deep border of trophies, the whole painted in metallic and ruby lustre on a rich blue ground. It was formerly the property of Mons. Gal- liardi, of Florence, who is said to have given £200 for it, but it was lately sold at Christie's for £104. The first letter is apparently a Greek Phi, the second an X or a cross, the third a D, which gives this mark some similarity to one of those ascribed to Oratio Fontana, of TJrbino. GtJBBIO. These letters (which are not fac- fOv Naifles) similes) were on plates, dated 1512, 1520, 1525, and 1535. See Bernal, Nos.1847, 1866,1946, 1992,arid 2061. I have seen the same mark on what seemed to be Neapolitan ware, of about 1650. The letters are the well- known 8(enatus) ¥{ppulisque) E(o- marnu) of the Roman Standard, and probably not an artist's mark.

This mark was on the famous Ea- phael and Fornarina plate of the Ber- nal Collection, figured and described at our page 195. Mr. Eobinson, of Marl- borough House, attributes it to Caf- fagiolo, a castle of the Medici, near Florence, where he presumes most of the pieces bearing evidences of the Me- dici family to have been made. He thinks that the " red enamel colour" belongs almost exclusively to this fa- bique and Faenza. See Soulages, p. 35. Mr. Fountaine has a plate of this ware marked with a Trident (like the Swan- sea mark), and a very small ring by the side of it. Some plates are said tobc mark- ed Caffagiolo, some merely with a C, and others with a large P, generally in blue. This ware, which seems to belong to about 1530 — 80, has a very Neapo- litan character, but is somewhat bolder in its colours and drawing, and revels in vivid blues and decided colours. Some handsome medicine jars, painted in scrolls, and large blue and black dishes, with a kind of damascene under the glaze, are ascribed to this factory. See Bernal, No. 1830. The black and white mottled ware modelled in vessels of classic design, is also attributed to this factory. A crown appears to be one of the marks of the many potteries of the Abrtmi, of which we know very little. Prom Passeri. Arms of Savona. See Brongniart, page 183, Nos. 202 and 203.

But Palissy is almost always without any perceptible mark, though sometimes the pieces with grotesque masks and scal- loped borders have a daisy, which in French is Marguerite, as a principal ornament, and probably as a mark in honour of Marguerite de Navarre. The ware of this celebrated artist is generally in relief or raised work, of various colours, and the ornaments usu- ally Fish, Frogs, Lizards, Shells and Insects, but sometimes figures and faces. He died 1589. Mr. Bernal's best specimen was No. 2076. Much of the coarse raw-coloured ware often sold as Palissy, is probably of much later date.

The city of Delft manufactured pottery as early as 1310, and exported it to England, from the time of our Henry IV. up to a late period (especially during the seventeenth century), in large quantities. There were at one time as many as thirty-eight factories, all probably having different marks, which it would now be almost impossible to identify. 460 $nglan&, Wedgwood. SiAiTorasmra:. English Pottery first began to assume Botslem, 1759— 1770. the characteristics of high art under Ethubia, 1770—1795. Josiah Wedgwood. After some previ- ous success, he, in 1763, produced his fine cream - coloured or Queen's ware, then his jasper ware, and about 1769 his black Egyptian. His partner, Bentley, descendant of the celebrated scholar, Richard Bentley, directed the classical subjects till his death, in 1780 ; after which, up to 1786, Flaxman, who had been previously employed, designed or suggested all his principal works. Beau- tiful clear colour, generally a pale blue (called jasper or onyx), but often green, pink, violet, and other tints, and especi- ally black (called basalt), without glaze, ia one of its merits. This ware, after 1765, is generally stamped with the name in full of Wedgwood, and between 1768 and 1780 it hears the names of Wedgwood and Bentley. When engraved, instead of stamped, it may be suspected as imitation. A descriptive catalogue of his various pro- ductions, published 1777, may be seen in the British Museum. Pieces inthe Wedg- wood style, without any name, are gene- rally by Turner, Adams, or some other of his many English imitators. He has even been imitated abroad, especially at Sevres, Dresden, and Vienna. After the decease of Wedgwood in 1795, his suc- cessors devoted their attention for many years to the finer kinds of the usual glazed Staffordshire ware for the con- tinental markets, especially Russia, and these also are marked Wedgwood. Of late they have resumed their old style of blue and white ware, and judging by its general bluntness, some of the old moulds are probably used. rOTTEEY. — ENGLAND. 461 fiOlii LONGTON, 1762—1786. Tubijeb(.Tno). Staffoudshiee, This ware is generally stamped with. at liAKB End, his name. It is an imitation of Wedg- wood ; and, though generally inferior,' some specimens are very nearly equal. Turner also made a beautiful white stone ware from a fine clay discovered in 1780, at Green Dock. He was on friendly terms with Wedgwood, and died at an advanced age in 1786. His sons con- tinued the pottery, and made fine jasper and black ware till 1803, when they failed, in consequence of losses occasion, ed by the French Revolution. Another imitation of Wedgwood, usually without any name, though, some- times marked. It is scarcely inferior to Turner's, and some pieces are quit* equal; but, being much more common, does not command so high a price. Imitations of Wedgwood are also found with the names, no doubt assumed, of Eastwood, Westwood, and Sack- wood ; also of Nast, of Paris, but such, ware has very little value. ADAMs(Wm.)STAFFOEDSHrRE.

It is curious that this is the only English pottery given in Brongniart's list, where it it placed at the head. The mark, previ- ous to its use on this so-called iron-atom Dottery (first made in 1805), is merely .he anchor and name, stamped, without jolour. Nantgarw has its name painted in red, and stamped in full. The Swansea Pottery, established about 1750, united with it in 1817, and the ware was after- wards marked Swansea with the addition of a trident. Sometimes Bevington, the manager's name, is added. In 1802, it became the property of the late Mr. Dillwyn, the naturalist, who occasionally made pretty specimens for gifts to his friends. In 1814 he attempted porcelain, which was elegantly and very correctly ornamented wtih flowers, insects, &c, but he discontinued porcelain in 1817, and resumed pottery. 462 POTTEBT. — ENGLAND.

Marked in blue. See Bernal, Nos. 389, 404. These letters are supposed to refer to the site of the manufactory. Marked in blue. Saxon style. The is rather smaller and thinner than the other two letters. Figured by Marryat first as unknown, and since as Veilsdorf. But by others supposed to be Amstel. Mr. Joseph gives a very similar mark, as found pn a hard paste bowl painted in flowers and buds. It looks like a monogram of J. A. Hanung, of FranhmUial. See pp. 466, 468.

An embossed oval enclosing an an- chor without colour is supposed to be the earliest Chelsea mark. See a note at p. 37 of this Catalogue. These two marks, one something like an arrow, the other like a quaver, were separately on a pair of early English but- ter-boats of a Chelsea character. The three characteristic dingy spots, marks of the stand on which this ware was baked, were at the bottom. These marks are claimed by some for Bow. See Bow and Worcester. Other marks of the early period. 472 POBCELAIN. — EKGLAKD. Chelsea.

Another variation, used till 1764, when the manufactory was transferred to Derby. It often happens, that only one or two pieces of a service or series are marked. CheLSEA-Debby. Soft paste, transparent and fine The Derby manufactory was established in 1751, but acquired no reputation till it obtained the Chelsea models and work- men in 1764. The anchor across in- dicates the union of Chelsea with Derby. Sometimes the anchor is larger, and al- most encircled by the D. DeeBT. Crown- Derby. This is posterior to the Chelsea-Derby, and not quite so fine. The marks of both are usually violet. The Dresden mark is often found on this manufacture. The later manufacture,bear- ing the name of Bloor, Locker, Stevenson, or Courtney, is but of ordinary value. WoBCESTEB. Old Worcester. Soft paste, and, when of the best quality, quite equal to Derby. The mark is in blue under the glaze, and the pieces which bear it are generally painted in blue without gold. So says Di tto . Brongniart ; but the pieces with this mark are often gilt, and there is a fine speci- men of this kind at the Manchester Ex- hibition. On a cup and saucer of the early blue and white Worcester, of Nan- kin pattern, the saucer has the crescent ) and the cup a small i, like a quaver, which, therefore, is unquestionably an early Worcester mark. See Chelsea. "WoEOESTElt. Second period of the old Worcester. This mark, sometimes with a slight va- riation, is either blue or red; and the pieces which bear it generally orna- mented in the Chinese manner. Brong- niart, plate liii. fig, 4. But one of the commonest series of marks on Chinese patterns is a set of bold figures from 1 to 9 fantastically crossed and recrossed with flourishes.

The Editor haB the second mark on some small blue and wbite cups and saucers, accompanied by a ring printed in blind; and the third on vases with raised flowers. Mr. Thomas Flight purchased the "Worcester manufactory in 1783, and transferred it to the firm, who generally marked their productions in full, but sometimes only with F. B. & B. They are for the most part beautifully ani tastefully painted, and were at the time very expensive. Kerr and Binns,the present spirited pro- prietors of the Worcester Works. This mark is on a cup and saucer of extreme lightness, elegance, and beauty, the spe- cimen of a service made for her Majesty. Established by Thomas Turner, at Caughley, near Broseley, 1772. The printed Willow pattern, the most uni- versal of all patterns, was first produced here about 1780. This mark is some- times larger, but Salopian is rarely marked at all. See Worcester,2nd period. Soft paste, about 1789. Sometimes it was sent to be painted and gilt to Wor- cester, which gives it the latter character. The mark generally pencilled in blue. This is the mark occasionally used by Messrs. Bose, of Coalport and Coal- brookdale, successors of Mr. Turner, who have a very extensive manufactory, where some of the closest imitations of Sevres, Dresden, and Chelsea are constantly produced. Hard paste, the first made in this country, generally blue and white. These porcelain works were established about 1760, by Cookworthy, but it was not till 1768 that he took out a patent for manufacturing from the now well-known " china-clay." The works ceased in 1772. Specimens are very scarce. Lord Camelford was a partner, and Henry Bone (the elder) was for a time employed in the works, and painted some of the ware. 474 PORCELAIN. — ENGLAND. * Bjbistol.

IShese two marks (in light blue under the glaze) are given by Mr. Joseph as found on Bristol porcelain, painted in blue landscapes, with embossed birds and flowers. A simple cross -f- is another mark. Brongniart says that soft paste was made at Bristol about 1776 by Champion, the proprietor of this factory. What is generally known as Bristol ware are hard paste white figures, which are identified as English by their costume, are rare. This mark, a trident, is stamped in red under " Swansea," both in pottery and porcelain f on the latter only between 1814 and 1817). See Pottery, p. 461. The name stamped in red, hut often in blind, and scarcely visible ; sometimes witn the letters! G. A small factory commenced in 1813, by some workmen who absconded from Worcester. It ex- isted for only a short time, and then merged into the Swansea establishment. Some of the porcelain specimens in the Geological Museum are extremely pretty, and worthy of Worcester. On early blue and white porcelain. This mark is something like flourishes on the Worcester pieces, numbered 1 to 9. See bottom of page 472. WoBCESTEB. Mr. Marryat gives this mark as found (or Derby?) on English china — creamy white, light and porous, and the gold well laid on. Mr. Joseph gives it reversed, making the 6 a 9, as found on a piece of Derby, in imitation of Chelsea, ornamented with green subjects. It has since been pro- nounced Old Worcester, which is the most likely. It is a palpable imitation of the Dresden mark. The Editor has the mark on a fine fluted cup and cover, and the usual Worcester mark on another of the same pattern and made from the same mould.

A bee, embossed or painted on some prominent part of a teapot or a jug, is supposed to have been one of the devices used ; but tbe only mark about which there is no doubt is a triangle. Sometimes the triangle, by being re- peated four times, makes a square. The editor has a teapot so marked, with stand and cover, embossed with tulip leaves in ' colours, and painted with insects, which lie has no doubt is Bow. Much unmarked ware of early En- glish manufacture, quite as good, and sometimes better than the first Chelsea, is believed to be Bow. The butter boats described under Chelsea, are by some thought to be Bow, and by others early Worcester. Vases of an ordinary Chelsea character, with raised flowers and marks, and black and white cups and saucers, are supposed to be Bow ; as are also figures of (jarrick, Kitty Clfve, Wilkes, Quin in Falstaff, &c.

Some of the ware is in re- lief, like the Capo di Monte, and some is similar to Sevres. See Capo di Monte, Ditto. next page. Mr. Joseph figures the se- cond mark, that is the fleur de lis, in conjunction with the letters O.F.L. as Q # F.Ii. occurring on a cup, of which the saucer was marked with two swords crossed in the Dresden manner, with L on one Bide, and the fleur de lis on the other.

Some specimens produced at this manufactory are of great beauty, as well in respect of paste as of painting and gilding. There are many in the Museum at Sevres, where they are highly prized.

The character of this cypher changes with the period, and becomes gradually less formal. The absence of letters indicative of date is often perplexing, for the omission occurs in pieces of every period. Indeed, some fine pieces of Sevres have no mark at all. It is supposed that in long services or series it was often considered unnecessary to mark more than a few of the principal pieces. > The crown or fleur-de-lis is sometimes placed over the double L, and denotes that the piece was made for royal use ; of such, those between 1760 and 1769 are among' the finest. In blue under the glaze. The letter in the centre denotes the year in which the piece was painted, beginning with 1753. (See Table on page 495.) The monogram or mark, placed above or below, Is that of the painter or gilder. The double letters commenced in 1777, and ended in 1793 with R It, as will be seen in the Chronological Tables. They are not always capi- tals, but often small letters. Bernal's No. 205, is marked a a. When the royal cypher is pen- cilled in gold, by Vincent or other gilders of a late period, it is sometimes decorative, like that of the period 1814—24. The jewelled cups were manu- factured chiefly for Marie Antoinette, sometime be- tween 1770, when she was married, and 1790— pro- bably between 1775 and the latter period. t5# R.F.

These three monograms of the " Republique Francaise," are always (as a law) accompanied by the word " Sevres," and were used indiscriminately according to the fancy of the painters, from 1792 to 1800, often -without a date. The custom of marking pieces with indications of their date, ceased as a practice after 1793, and was not resumed until 1801. Many of these Republican pieces are gilt by Vincent,, and have his mark of 2090 in gold figures. (See Chronological Tables.) - 30 REIGN OF LOUIS PHILIPPE, 1830—1848.

The mark on porcelain not ornamented is in chrome green, burnt in and glazed. Every plain white piece made between 1834 and 1848 should bear this mark.

The following marks, which are composed of signs and figures, are en- graved, and indicate both the year and the month. Thus, the number X following the marks "q. z."

Mandarin. Hard Porcelain. This stamp, sometimes red, sometimes bltm, is said to denote imperial manufacture. Japan. On a fine old bowl, in the form of a gourd, richly coloured and embossed. Messrs. Brongniart and Riocreux give only these two marks. Mr. Marryat, in his first edition, added some half-dozen, communicated by Dr. Klemm, of Dresden, but in his second edition has withdrawn them, as incorrect. In a new and very elaborate French work on the Porcelain of China and Japan, translated from original authorities, by M. Stanis- laus Julien and Dr. J. Hoffman, we get a vast amount of marks and information, but little, if anything, of practical value. Of the many fine pieces of Chinese Porcelain brought to this country by Mr. Fortune, not one of those which hap- pened to be marked could be identified with anything figured in Julien j and the rarest and best were not marked at all. , Under these circumstances, and for want of space, the reader must be content with a few indications, which will be best given by citing from Messrs. Christie and Mauson's recent Catalogues, their descriptions of such articles as have sold for the highest prices. ■ It will be seen that Crackles of all kinds are highly appreciated, and among these the Tuequoise, Cbimson, and Sea-Gbeen, take the lead. Of colotjes not crackled, and which to an uninitiated eye are certainly the handsomest, the most esteemed are Tubquoise, Deep Blue, Yellow, Ceimson, Ruby, Ghees', light and dark, Mottled — generally Blue and Purple, or Crimson and Purple, — Pink, and Cbeam- COLOUE. The following extracts must tell the rest. 408 OBIENTAL. Ma.

FOSTERS MISCELLANEOUS WORKS, including his Essay on Doddridge, &c. (Standard Library). NOTICE. Messes. Bell and Daldy beg to announce that they have purchased of Mr. H. Gr. Bohn, who is preparing to retire from business, after forty years of successful enterprise, the entire stock of his various Libraries, consisting of more than 600 different works, and comprising nearly half a million of volumes. These Libraries have been created by Mr. Bohn during the past twenty years by an amount of energy and industry, bibliographical knowledge and literary skill never before united with the requisite amount of capital ; and they repre- sent an accumulation of valuable works unexampled in the history of'literary undertakings. Though Mr. Bohn was not the first to recognize the power of cheapness as applied to the production of books, he was the first to address his efforts exclusively to works of a standard character and enduring interest. He threw himself into the movement with characteristic energy ; and in developing his aim he is known by those who have watched the progress of cheap literature to have distanced all competitors. During the time that his Libraries have been before the public, he has carried into all classes in all parts of the world where the English language is under- stood an unexampled choice of books, not only for students and scholars, but for readers who merely seek amusement. Such a choice, so varied, and at so low a price, does not exist in this country or elsewhere ; and Mr. Bohn is entitled to the gratitude of all who value the humanizing effects of literature. Since the commencement of these Libraries at b 2 least three million volumes have been issued, and these may fairly be taken to represent thirty million readers. In accepting the responsibility of so large an under- taking, Messrs. Bell and Daldy desire to carry on the pro- jects of Mr. Bohn with the same spirit and energy which have influenced him, and they are happy to announce they will have the advantage of his bibliographical knowledge and large experience. In addition to the Libraries of Mr. Bohn, this Catalogue comprises the various Collections published by Messrs. Bell and Daldy during the last nine years, and now in progress. These Libraries and Collections together afford a choice from about 800 volumes on general literature and educa- tion. To assist purchasers in making their selections a classi- fied index is attached, by which they will be guided to the subjects of the books. Messrs. Bell and Daldy venture to add, that the Aldine Poets, Aldine Series, British Worthies, Elzevir Series, and Pocket Volumes, are specially prepared for the lovers of choice books, and are specimens of careful editing combined with the most finished workmanship in all external features. They believe that they are not surpassed in these respects by any similar productions of the present day. Many of the above works are adapted for prizes and presents ; and they may be had through any bookseller, bound in a suitable style, by giving a short notice. CLASSIFIED INDEX. Amusements.
