DECORATIVE GLASSWARE.

One of the latest- and most attractive of ornamental novelties is opaque coloured glassware, which’ resembles highly fired pottery. Vases and bowls, for fruit or flowers, are obtainable in a number of shapes and shades, including jade, tortoise-shell, russet, tango (brilliant orange), royal blue and azure. _ <?■ Other clever ideas are to be seen in glass lamp standards for electric light. Some of these are encrusted with beads, and others display imitation flowers arid fruit of coloured glass mounted, to prevent breakage, on brass wires. Among the most beautiful are standards which represent little trees covered with' blossoms, and there are also bowl 3, brackets and pendants in similar style. These articles are unrivalled for obtaining colour effects in artificial lighting schemes, for they possess tho three prime essentials of colour, form and transparency. . Ordinary clear glass is now used for a surprisingly varied range of articles. In addition to jugs, tumblers, decanters and candlesticks, one can now obtain glass toilet and trinket sets, ornamenfal bowls, dinner services, salad bowls, ash trays, cigarette boxes, tobacco jars, a-nd ladies’ puff boxes. Covered glass cheese dishes aro a particularly attractive novelty, and glass hors d’oeuvrp trays enjoy a steady vogue. . ...... , Classical shapes aro widely favoured both in plain and transparent glass, and a neutral "feint which appears green in some lights and blue in others is among the most popular colours.
