. Annual report for the year ended June 30 .... United States National Museum. 56 "U-S. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT, 1959 Arts and Manufactures An outstanding addition to the division of ceramics and glass is a collection of 600 pieces of Dutch and German pottery and stone- ware, the gift of the Honorable Wiley T. Buchanan, Jr., Chief of Protocol, and Mrs. Buchanan. The collection is especially rich in medieval Dutch household wares and Rhenish stoneware types, many of which are exhibited nowhere else in the United States. A noteworth}^ slip-decorated, Rhenish jar from Pingsdorf, Germany, dated 12th or 13th century, is representative of the beginnings of the very important German stoneware industry. A Raeren ewer from Rhenen dated 1585, in almost perfect condition, is exceptional in that most wares of this type lack the spout or handle or both. A collection of 170 glass items donated by Mrs. Clara W. Berwick includes a rare group comprising early American glass pieces of the Stiegel and Amelung type, as well as later wares from the famous Sandwich factor}^ in Massachusetts.
