The complete descriptive list, to be obtained from the firm, will be more satisfactory than any general notice, though nothing except chromatic illustrations can give an adequate idea of the beauty of the designs and perfection of color­ing, nor of the slabs, with groups of ferns and flowers from nature, painted under the glaze, by the artists permanently engaged in the art studio of the firm. The list comprises more than one hundred varieties of tiles. We give below a page from the catalogue, which will give an idea of its contents :
