THE RHODE ISLAND HERALD, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1988 ·· 7 Rice - Rosenthal Classic Wedgewood Winkler - Garvin To Be Sold NEWPORT, R.I. - A classic Wedgewood collection from the 18th to the 20th century is now on display at Chateau-sur-Mer. Nearly 800 pieces were donated to the Preservation Society of Newport County in a bequest from former member Frank J. Connell of Binghamton, New York - a native of Newport. Exhibits include tea pots based on ancient Greek and Roman originals, plates and an amusing game pie dish topped by a rabbit. The pieces are on permanent display as part of the regular tour of the mansion. Early Wedgewood is in the first fl oor reception room and later pieces are in the second floor hall. The 18th century Wedgewood features jasper and black basalt urns, whimsical game pie dishes and tea pots. It was standard practice for the firm to employ the finest artists for its designs. Sir Joshua Reynolds, George Stubbs, William Blake and Walter Crane were all modelers, engravers or advisers. But grand works by these artists were not the only objects produced at the famed Etruria works in Staffordshire, England. Wedge­ wood also catered to the popular taste with small, humorous articles such as the caneware pie dish with a rabbit on top. Legend and fact agree that caneware was invented to simulate pie crust when fl our was scarce during the Napoleonic wars. Temple Emanuel in Providence was the setting for the November 12 The later Wedgewood has wedding of Amy Beth Rice and Craig Lee Rosenga rden.

Giving Tzedekah and gemilut hasidim (doing good deeds) was how the Harry Elkin Midrasha students rededicated themselves at Chanukah, the Festival of Lights. The teens decided to shine some light on the ·residents at the Jewish Home. They ·made and presented gifts of brightly colored sachets and picture frames. _ They performed skits, songs and dance ip vaudevillian style with posters announcing each act. The best gift of all, the kids said, was giving of themselves.
