The Princess Royal was announced. Members of the Fund would like to offer very sincere sympathy to Lord and Lady Harewood and their children. They also grieve for themselves in losing a President so gracious and so completely imbued with the values for which the L.A.C.F. has stood throughout its long history. Perhaps the Princess's greatest strength lay in her absolute genuineness and integrity in a world —specially that of 'art' so full of foibles. It was these qualities which made her appear at times quite oblivious of her own convenience in undertaking something she thought would help a worthwhile cause. Her formal exhibition openings at the Art Gallery and her informal visits to Temple Newsam were always occasions to remember for their complete lack of superficiality and the intriguing grasp she displayed of the work in progress museum-wise no less than her refreshing knowledge of the subject under discussion, from silver to water-colours. Her Royal Highness has been called 'the Yorkshire Princess', and this means a very great deal, for she drew affection from everybody who had the remotest contact with her. The Fund will sadly miss her moral and practical support.

The 18th and 19th centuries are often regarded as the creative zenith of the industry, with potteries producing many superb quality pieces to rival the country’s finest. The foremost manufacturer in this period was the Leeds Pottery Company, established around 1770 in Hunslet. The company are best known for their creamware made from Cornish clay and given a translucent glaze. Although other potteries in the country made creamware, the Leeds product was of such a high quality that all creamware became popularly known as ‘Leedsware’. The company’s other products included blackware and drabware. The Leeds Pottery was perhaps the largest pottery in Yorkshire. In the early 1800s it used over 9000 tonnes of coal a year and exported to places such as Russia and Brazil. Business suffered in the later 1800s due to increased competition and the company closed in 1881. Production was restarted in 1888 by a ‘revivalist’ company which used old Leeds Pottery designs and labelled their products ‘Leeds Pottery’. The revivalist company closed in 1957. Another key manufacturer was Burmantofts Pottery, established around 1845 in the Burmantofts district of Leeds.

With the appearance of Dr. Greer's article, those of us working on historic sites now have a much clearer picture of this , southern made stoneware. which is characterized by its hardness and glossy glaze. Since, as Dr. Greer has pointed out, South Carolina is a possible area of introduction of this type stoneware into America, those of us work­ ing on historic sites in this state are faced with a fascinating research , challenge in the years to come in working out a greater understanding of this ware in time and space. This comment is designed to present an out­ line of some of the areas of exploration that must be pursued by those of , us involved with nineteenth century ceramics (South 1970b: 3).
