NEW POTTERY

DELICATE “JOYOUS” NOTES OF j COLOUR. 1 SHOP WINDOW’S CHARM I , ' \ It would- be a difficult task —indeed,/ an impossible task—to pick out the shop window one considers to be the most alluring, so great —in order;to -1 meet; every variety of taste —is their' variety, and.so,intriguing are some of the novelties and notions displayed, ~ states a London writer. But one noticed in particular recently can surely lay claim to be among the must fascia- - : ating. • . , Standing out among several pieces of/ the new Joyous pottery, in one corner, was a jug in royal blue, with a design” in orange,, purple, and green, which' riveted one’s attention immediately.

A wonderful splash of glowing coF' our; either filled with flowers to light*;,, cri a dull corner, or used as a jug for water or lemonade when an orange or' blue scheme in the same shade is in favour for the luncheon table. Then, to add brightness to the breakfast tray'’ there was among others one especially delightful milk jug, in vivid orange, with a design of blue, and the very, thing for a small informal guest room, several gay little candlesticks in the same llues, and. one in a cool delicious green. Among other particularly attractive and useful objects were also a 1 pair of tall hand-painted candlesticks in. wood.
