PORCELAIN AND FAIENCE.

lation, but it is now concoded that it was made at Oii'on', iu 
the south-west of France. 
In composition it is a faience of superior quality, the

without lime or magnesia, and only a trace of iron. It 
withstands high firing without cliange, and is quite white. 
M. Salvetat Was also satisfied that the glaze did not contain 
tin. Brongniart notes the fact that this white earthenware 
body was made in France long before the first atternpts to 
manufacture white earthenware in Great Britain, wliich dates 
from the end of the seventeenth or the beginning of the 
eighteenth Century. But the distinguishing peculiarity of 
the Henri-deux wäre remains to be described. The orna- 
mentation is inlaid, filling incisions or depressions in the 
body, though flush with the surface. For this filling, pastes 
colored with ochre were chiefly used, and the desio-ns in 
general appear of an oclirey brown or yellowish color on the 
white groundwork. But black, blue, pink and green colors 
are known. It is believed that this inlaying was accomplished 
by means of moulds, the intricate inierlacing designs being 
first carved upon a model from which casts were taken. The 
paste pressed in the moulds so formed, received the designs 
in intaglio, and the spaces were afterwards filled with a soft, 
colored paste, the whole Operation being similar to that of 
making encaustic tiles.*
