tolerably well imitated ; but there is a notable failure in the 
attempts at the finer and distinctive peculiarities of the best 
pieces from those countries. 
Two large portraits on porcelain, by tliis exhibitor, ruerit 
special mention: one of Humboldt, with a porcelain frame 
about three feet by two feet, and another of Paul Esterhazy, 
sixteen inches by twelve. Another example of a portrait, 
with a frame of porcelain, and all in one piece, is to be found 
in the Japanese section. 
A perforated tea-set, in Chinese style, attracted the atten 
tion of the Prince of Wales, and was purchased by him. A 
large vase, with Chinese decoration, is also worthy of men

Fischer, Ignaz, Buda-Pesth, Hungary, exhibited speci-

Diploma of Honorable Mention. 
Alois Klammerth, Znaim.—K collection of quaint and
