Pottery vases by Peake of Staffordshire

Previous - Next

Figures 70, 71, are beautiful vases of pottery ware manufactured by Peake, of Staffordshire-and which may be imported cheaply, or will be made to order at the Salamander works, in New York. These vases, when colored to imitate marble or other stone, are extremely durable and very ornamental. As yet, we are unable to refer our readers to any manufactory here, where these articles are made in a manner fully equal to the English; but we are satisfied, it is only necessary that the taste for such articles should increase, and the consequent demand, to induce our artisans to produce them of equal beauty and of greater cheapness.
