May one refer to the article "The Modern Home, The
Art of the Table" in your journal of June 20th, written under the name of G. M. Boumphrey ? Your correspondent is concerned and a little alarmed as to how such an exhibition as the pottery shown at the British Industries Fair "must strike the intel- ligent foreigner."
It may be of some relief to your correspondent, as well as to some others who have not visited the British Industries Fair, to learn that our friends from some of the most developed parts of Germany. and France as well as from Italy, Spain and Scandinavia, have specially gone out of their way to express their utmost admiration for some of the pottery shown at the British Industries Fair. in my own case they have expressed the highest possible opinion. And some of the actual pieces of pottery shown by the writer at the British Industries Fair were awarded at the International Exhibition held at Antwerp the highest possible award, The Grand Prix. It is clear that our visitors from the Continent are more appreciative of our British exhibition than your correspondent.—W, Mooncaorr, Moorcroft Potteries, Burslem.
