A NEW AND BEAUTIFUL WARE.—We were shown on Saturday a new ware, which for beauty of finish and durability, is not surpassed by anything of the kind within our knowledge, imported or domestic. It comes from Bennington (Vermont) Flint Enamel Ware Works, and is composed entirely of mineral substances, without a particle of clay. It is thus rendered very strong and is fire proof, two very important qualities with housekeepers. Its beauty of finish and smoothness of surface is fully equal to the best China or Porcelain yet known. In addition to all these essential qualities, strength, durability and beauty, it is said to be afforded at lower prices than similar articles of clay ware. Its uses are not confined to the usual crockery ware, but the inventors make from it door-knobs, daguerreotypes frames, fancy brackets, letters for sign-boards, figures for numbering, and almost everything of the sort. The right to manufacture it has been patented, and the ware will probably soon be brought into the market.—[Philadelphia Ledger.]
