-pitcher. Collection of Mrs. Emma deF. Morse accomplished the almost impossible task of getting together280 varieties of dark blue historical ware. Some of the rari-ties of this collection are shown in the illustrations. Mrs.Morse is the fortunate possessor of an Albany Theaterview and I do not know of any one else who has it. She alsohas the little seven and one-half-inch Hurl Gate, EastRiver plate and the six-inch Park Theater, New York,eagle border plate—both of them exceedingly rare pieces.The old Capitol at Albany, washbowl and pitcher, is with-out doubt the most valuable specimen of this superb collec-tion. There are only about ten pieces scattered among thedifferent collections of the country which Mrs. Morse needsto make her collection complete. I do not hesitate to saythat, within my knowledge, this is the finest collection ofdark blue Staffordshire in America. Mr. Eugene Tompkins, of Boston, has a collection re-markable for its completeness and the artistic way it is hung.
