'Old Bleach' in exquisite miniature A DAMASK Tablecloth, perfect in miniature—minute d’oyleys and fairy-fine runners — infinitesimal sheets and towels—the perfection of Old Bleach Linen is concentrated in these tiny things. There are Old Bleach Linens of every texture; rich, smooth linens for sheets and pillowcases, fine lawns for embroidery, snowy damasks and soft huckabacks. The beauty of Old Bleach is in the fabric itself. It owes nothing to chemicals or ‘dressings.’ It is woven from pure Irish flax and bleached by the old tried ways of sun and grass. That is why its lovely lustre survives laundering after laundering. Old Bleach Linen is woven not only for Queens’ Dolls’ Houses and Queens’ Palaces, but to bring beauty and good service into your own home. A Note on Needlework If you are interested in fine needlework, you should consult “The Embroideress”—the most fascinating periodical published on the subject. You can buy “The Embroideress” at all good needlework shops or direct from the Old Bleach Linen Company. Single copies are 1/2 post free; the annual subscription, also post free, is 4/8. Old Bleach Linens are stocked everywhere that good linens are sold; or your nearest agent’s address can be obtained from:— THE OLD BLEACH LINEN CO LTD Randalstown Northern Ireland.

This pottery was started in connection with the St. Ives Handicraft Guild in 1921, by Mr. Bernard Leach, an English artist, who spent twelve years in China and Japan studying the traditions and craft and practising as a potter and etcher. In answer to repeated enquiries Mr. Leach has begun to make and decorate tiles of which the above are samples. During the past year specimens of Leach pottery work have been acquired by the Victoria and Albert Museum, The National Museum of Wales, The Manchester Corporation Art Gallery and other collections.
