There as an ox in the barn

a man ibout to lead his horse

The scene was obviously out

OLD OAKEN BUCKET GLASSWARE EASY TO RECOGNIZE
One of the easiest types of
collected glassware' to recognize
is the kind known as the "old
oaken bucket" design.
The reason is those three
words are a perfect description
of it one that admits of no
possibility for mistake.
An "old oaken bucket" sugar
bowl, for example, looks far
more like a bucket than it does
any sugar bowl you ever saw.
In fact, without being forewarn
ed, one would naturally con
sider it as a miniature bucket
and probably nothing else.
And except for the inevitable
addition of a spout and a han
dle, the water pitcher made in
this design would also be easily
. mistaken for a small bucket done
in glass.
There are various other pieces
of table glassware done in this
design, but so far as I know,
none of them are valued so

George, a friend of mine and
the owner of a bookstore seem

ing. . "I don't know what to price
it at," he said.
The title,, done in gold let-'
. tcrs, was "Okinawa." Below that
was a line of Japanese charac
ters, and under them were the
words "by Yamada No. 1."
I opened the volume. Its- 40
numbered leaves, not pages, im
mediately enchanted me. They
were printed in both English and
Japanese, the English being only
slightly and not unpleasantly
japannized.
But interesting as the writ

the pictures.
All of them illustrated things
In Okinawan life. Some were
