DOMESTIC SUMMARY.
SOUTH CAROLINA CROCKERY. — The Columbia Guardian, of 1st inst., says:
Our neighbor, Capt. W. B. Stanley, has received from the Southern Porcelain Manufacturing Company, of this State, some samples of their crockery which compare favorably with the imported ware.
This establishment is now in active operation, and, as we learn from an Augusta paper, the machinery is well adapted to the purposes for which it was constructed. The felspar used in the manufacture of the ware is brought from Connecticut, though it is thought that if the granite regions of South Carolina and Georgia were properly examined, the mineral required in the manufacture would be found.
We understand that the Superintendent of these works has no doubt of the complete and ultimate success of the enterprise. The samples which Mr. Stanley has, embrace water ewers and basins, water pitchers, spittoons, &c., and are very well finished. Our readers ought to call and see what can be done in South Carolina in the crockery line.
