| - Pieces in earthenware so made as to represent pies and tartlets. They were much used during the famine period — 1795-1802. The hollows within were for holding such cheap and easily prepared articles of food as rice, sago, furmety, &c. Many specimens are preserved. Another sort of dummy is curious though rare. It consists of an elongated solid cone or wedge with a thin, outstanding base. This is prettily enamelled, in some cases printed, with gay-looking flowers. A clear jelly was apparently run over this ; and the flowers showing through, an ornamental piece for the dinner-table was formed. There is a nice specimen in the Bragg C!ollection.
