DENMAKK. 
Royal Poecelain Manufactory, Copenhagen, exhibited 
in the Rotunda and in the Danish court decorated porcelain 
of all kinds, espeeially works in biscuit, consisting of medal- 
lions, busts and bas-reliefs, after Thorwaldsen, Bissen, and 
others. Thonvaldsen’s "Night apd Morning,” and the medal- 
lion portraits, deserve special mention for tlieir excellence 
in form and composition of the paste, and tlieir pure wliite- 
ness. The works also make a specialty of imitations of the 
old Saxon and Danish wäre. . 
The list of premiums received at former great exhibitions 
is a long one, and at tliis exhibition the works fully sustain 
their reputation. 
The fine terra-cotta wäre of this section, consists of clioice 
vases, urns, tazzas, etc., in imitation of the old Etruscan 
and Greek forms. These are black in color with figures 
in red, and the reverse. Others are decorated with sprDs 
of ferns and flowers on the plain black surfixce. They are 
exquisite in execution and color, and were much admired. 
All this wäre is remarkably perfect in form, and is burned 
without distortion. The prices are moderate.
