From their contributions to our own Crystal Palace wehave selected and engraved the subjects which fill this and

the two adjoining pages. The first is a statuette inParian, modelled after the design of Carrier, and repre-

Veuchere. It is followed by a pair of Fruit Dishes ofporcelain with colored and gilt decorations and figures

large Flower Pot and stand, a reproduction of the fa-mous Majolica ware. The design of this piece, and thebright and gay colors in which it is executed, are veryattractive and beautiful.

The Sugar Dish, and the piece opposite, form part ofa very elegant dessert service, similar to that selected bythe Queen in 1851 as a royal present.
