These complaints have now become backpayed, and it is extraordinary that the cause of the complainis still remains unrectified they are regarded as a matter of course, is this pot a.indency to be deplored for the sake of commerce and industry and her prestige abroad
On perusing a copy of the latest issue of the Triko Iran (Consular reports published by the NOVELTIES OF THE SEASON.

"Japanese earthenware and porcelain 'im' parted here consists mostly of Migo and Iyo ware, comprising principally plates, tea, cops, soap-dishes, vases, and tumblers (gunemi)
These are made to meet the lasia of the Chi

The only defect of Japanese ware is its bad quality and lack of durability, it being very easily broken. The good reputation which Japanese ward, obtained at one time has been gradually lost.
