COTTAGE DECORATION.
How
<
Broken Crockery and China-Ware
Can Ha Utilized to Advantage.
There is not a cottage or any other
dwelling in which mosaic floors might
not be laid, or in which some of the
walls could not be set to advantage
with such work. It is not only orna
mental. but it is easily washed, and
therefore conducive to cleanliness and
health. A very large proportion ol
wall paper is pasted directly over an
old paper, and even when it is torn
away too much gen Tally remains. J
have learned by inquiry of several in
stances in which persons have been
either directly poisoned by the pigments
employed in coloring such paper, or in
which malaria aud death were induced
by one coat decaying over another in a
damp room. Nothing of the kind can,
however, take place when walls are
covered with mosaic or tiles, or are
stenciled. Mosaic work can be execu
ted wherever stone. Portland pement
and broken crockery can be obtained.
It is to be observed that broken tietile
ware has several very great advantages
over any other material. In the first
{»lace it costs nothing and may be
ound in every rubbish heap, as well as
—more is the pity—in most kitchens.
It is more easily broken into pieces of
any requisite size than stone, or even
ceramic cubes. It has a strong glaze,
and generally wears as well as the very
expensive material of baked clay sold
for such work. And finally, it is in an
infinite number of shades and tones, so
that for really varied picture-making it
offers the greatest inducement to the
artist. For crockery or china ranges
from Sevres to the rudest terra cotta,
from saucers like pearl and marble to
slag-glass which can not be dis
tinguished from agate. There is abso
lutely no material for decorative art
work of any kind which offers such a
vast variety of hues and shades and
materials as crockery mosaic. I may
add to this that a very curious and
beautiful variety of mosaic work for
walls may be made by setting broken
lass, ami especially glass or china
eads. in cement.
The glittering points which they pre
sent catch the light ami render the
work very effective. I have heard this,
as well as crockery mosaic, objected to
as “trashy,” ami so it is when the
artist who makes it is not capable ol
making anything but trash. Blit one
who possesses skill or genius does not
depend on mere material. I have seen
such mosaic which was so far from
being trashy that it was truly beauti
ful. And I venture to predict that we
are not far from the time when all
the broken crockery or chinaware
will be utilized.
It is certain in
the interest of all housekeepers to en
courage an art which will recoup them
for their losses bv breakage. I once
lived in a hotel in America in which
the breakage for a single month
amounted to three hundred pounds.—
