Of these there is a considerable one near St. Petersburg conducted on the crown's account; and two belonging to private proprietors are at Mosco. Black earthen pans are in general use throughout Russia, and are made at several places; but glazed vessels are rare, though in many parts there is abundance of good clays. I shall just mention a few places where a great deal of earthen-ware is made: Constantinova on the Kliasma, Arat on the Piana, and Vassillieva on the Volga, &c. The ware made at Mosco is not durable; and the same maybe said of the cream-coloured stone-ware which is designed to imitate the English, but without the desired effect. Another fabric ofthis kind, which produces a tolerable commodity, is at Reval.
