In reading the lists of presents at most fashionable Marriages, one is struck by the quantity of Silver and Jewellery given, which in most cases is more than the recipients have any need of or use for. The majority of these presents suffer by comparison with others of the same kind given by those to whom money is no object, whereas a charming little Statuette or Bust is sure to attract universal notice and admiration, without danger of being duplicated.

The ornamental part is simply a collection of triumphs. The ware is dazzling white, the glaze perfectly tender and clear, the forms are simple to severity, and the colours delicate and sweet. The whole of the decoration is produced at the Grand feu. The charm of this ware is its perfect simplicity and artistic truth." Danish House, 294 Regent Street, London, W. AD. V
