_Collections._--For German wares the German museums are naturally
best. The museums at Munich and Nuremberg contain splendid collections
of the tin-enamelled and peasant wares of South Germany. Cologne has a
wonderful collection of the Rhenish stoneware, and Berlin and Hamburg
have good general collections. Copenhagen and Stockholm are especially
good for Scandinavian wares, and Zürich for Swiss. There are also good
collections of German stoneware in the Victoria and Albert and the
British museums, and in the Cluny Museum, the Louvre, and the museum
at Sèvres; but there are no notable collections of the German
tin-enamelled wares out of Germany. The wares of Delft may be best
studied in the museums at the Hague and Amsterdam. There is an
interesting collection at the factory of Thooft and Labouchère in
Delft. The principal museums in England, France and Germany all have
fair to good collections of this renowned ware.
