THE GERMAN PORCELAIN DISPLAY.—What proved one of the greatest attractions to art lovers who visited the German section in the Manufactures Building was the wonder-ful porcelain display. No collection of just the same character and quality had ever before been seen in the United States, nor, indeed, elsewhere, and a delighted throng was con-stantly examining this portion of Germany’s fine exhibit. The illustration affords a good idea of the general style of arrangement, something devised by the most famous of Berlin decorators, and commanding no little praise, quite apart from the quality of the articles displayed. As for the articles themselves, they had never been surpassed. The great vase con-spicuous in the picture was said to be the largest of its quality ever made, and was as wonderful as it was imposing in size. In all manner of dishes and decorations, and even in busts and scenes from paintings, the work was something illustrating strikingly the perfection this branch of art has attained to in Germany, and inspiring a new regard for this class of adornment of homes. The most conspicuous object in the illustration was equally conspicuous in the exhibit and was known as ” The Porcelain Porch.” It was a remarkable creation, the fountain, the pillars, the panels, the figures and ornaments over the arched entrance, and even the painting for which it all made a frame, were in porcelain of exquisite form and color. It is not surprising that an effort was made to retain such a work in America, nor that it is now one of the artistic treasures of the Germania Club of Chicago.
