24 EXPOSITION AT VIENNA. \/ ^ The earthy group includes faience, terra-cotta, bricks, etc. Faience is also a comprehensive term, takiug in all varieties of earthenware stoueware, etc., and comprises two chief classes, the glazed and the unglazed. The objects may also be grouped as hard faience, and soft faience, stoueware being an example of the former; but the Classification accord- mg to the glaze, or superficial coating, is to be preferred. Of glazes, which consist of a composition much more fusible than the body of the wäre, there are many varieties. All, however, have this in common, that they may become more or less fluid in the furuace, and cover the porous surface.of the paste or body, giving a vitreous surface when cold. They are all more or less siliceous, but the substance giving the fusibility may be an alkali, or metallic oxide, usually oxide of lead, or of zinc, or oxide of tin. The alkalies and lead give a transparent glaze, and oxide oftin gives an opaque glaze or enamel, and objects covered with it are described as enamelled. A common and cheap method of glazing hard faience is by throwing salt into the kiln while the objects are hot. The soda combines with the silica'in the wäre, and a vitreous glaze, known as salt-glaze, results. For this Report an arbitrary grouping is preferred, chiefly with a view to conveuience of description. The objects are grouped according to their uses rather than by their material or manufacture. The faience and porcelains of the principal countries are first considered; next, the mural and floor tiles, as a distinct and largely represented brauch of ceramic industry; third, terra-cotta, bricks, etc. ; and fourth, the materials used and their distribution. In cacli of these divis- ions there was a profuse representation in the Exposition ; and a thorough, critical, and explanatory description would have required much more spare and time than have beeil at com- mand. In general, only the salient features are touched upon. The writerhas, as far as possible, brought prominently forward the names of the principal exhibitors, recognizing in this the dischargo of a duty to them as well as to the public. Every exhibitor at a great exhibition, who makes a display worthy of the occasion, does so at no small outlay of time and money, and he is justly entitled to all of the advautages
