LEAF PLATTER, molded and glazed realistically, was made between 1850 and 1900. A leaf has been a popular shape for dishes for several purposes, particularly plat- ters in different sizes, in Europe and England since the 18th century. This was one of the new forms at a time when potters had just discovered - how to make porcelain such as had been imported from China and were learning to improve old kinds of pottery and invent new ones. *k - * - * The Melssen pottery near Dresden, Germany, probably made the first leaf platters ard plates. It was natural that this pottery set the fashion throughout the 18th century, Yor It was founded as a result of Johann Friedrich Bottger's discovery of how to make porcelain. - Soon, however, other potteries in Germany and Europe as well as England, were producing plates and plat- ters in the form of leaves, The leaf platter, shown in the accompanying photo, is a pottery, uot a porcelain one » ard it was not made until the latter half of the 19th century. There is no potter's mark on the underside so it is quite-probable that it was 'made in the United States be- tween 1855 and 1895. This platter is majolica, a type of earthenware that was introduced in Englard in 1851 ard soon after was being made in the United States. Majolica is a rather coarse earthenware covered with highly colored lead glazes. Pleces of majolica were molded first to add realism - to the vegetable flower, fruit or leaf on which they were based. This platter has been molded into an obvious, If un- identifiable, leaf shape. It is & 1/2 inches long. Typical veining has been molded in strong lines which are part of the platter's decoration. The edges of this platter are covered with a green glaze, marked here and there with Appliéaifis Sofight' By State Troopers The New York State Police are seeking trooper applicants to meet a rising need for en- forcement officers.

Majolica leaf plates and plat- ters wore made in several different sizes, shapes and colorings. Some of them had dark brown, stemlike hardles. Majolica leaf platters were naturalistic enough in their own way, but they were poor imitations of the porcelain ones that had been so popular in Europe and England between 1740 and 1780. *- %o x Nor do the 19th century majolica platters compare in quality to the 18th-century ones. German potterles had made leaf platters of hard- paste porcelain, English pot- tertes had made them of soft- paste porcelain during the 18th century. Soft-paste porcelain leaf platters varied from a recognizable ivy leaf, 3 1/2 inches wide, to larger, less specific leaves 9 to 12 inches long. Other common pieces in 19th cextury majolcawereserving dishes, bread plates, teapots, sugar bowls, syrup jugs and vases. In addition to leaves, cther popular forms in which these pieces were molded and colored were the caullflower, ear of sora, asparagus stalks, cucumber, shell and seaweed, ard flowers.
