Excerpt from Illustrated Catalogue of the Private Collection Formed by Mr. Timothy F. Crowley: Consisting of Beautiful Wedgwood, Including the Famous Medallion "Medusa's Head" By Flaxman, From the Horace Townsend Collection, Bennington, Whieldon, Staffordshire, Salt-Glaze and Other Old China, Stone Ware and Pewter The Collection of Mr. Timothy F. Crowley, now offered for sale, presents more than one significant aspect of interest. Thus, primarily, it represents the careful gathering of a collector to whom the most cogent appeal has been made through the eye. In other. Words, Mr. Crowley seems, when considering the acquisition of any, particular piece, to have asked himself at the outset, Is this beautiful or quaint? And to have finally selected only those things concerning which he could make answer in the affirmative. But he appears also to have exercised a wise and dis criminating judgment in regard both to quality and genuine ness, and not to have been satisfied unless the example was one which would commend itself to connoisseur and to expert. As a consequence of this, Mr. Crowley's Collection will appeal, on the one hand, to those who concern themselves mainly with the decorative value of their purchases and, on the other, with even greater force, to those desirous of adding to their carefully formed collections, pieces of un doubted merit and recognized authenticity.
