Indeed, their agreement in technical character with some of the pottery of the ancient Egyptians and Assyrians, and with that produced in Syria and Persia during the fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth centuries is most remarkable. Persia also now produces inferior wares of the same class. We thus see how widely spread, and at how early a period, the use of this most ancient mode of glazing was established and brought to perfection. It was the parent of all those wares now known as Persian, Dam...ascus, Rhodian, or Lindus. From the truly regal display of porcelain made by the Royal Porcelain Works at Berlin, we select for illustration, on page 262, a masterpiece in its way. It is a large oval vessel intended to be used as a Wine-Cooler, or if desired it can be used, as it is at the present time, for a Jardiniere. In either use it makes a very striking and beautiful object; but the design and style of ornamentation make the former purpose preferable. The material, though porcelain, is treated so as to resemble Italian majolica, and none but an expert could pro- nounce upon its genuineness.
