Our attention has been lately called to the new process of photographing upon porcelain cups and vases which is now exhibiting in the rooms of the American Porcelain Photograph Company in Broadway.  The likeness are perfect, and they are rendered permanent by a [ ? ] mode of glazing, which dispenses with the [burning] in.  In England Mr. Fox Talbot and others have taken [ ? ] for photographing on flat porcelain surfaces; [ ? ] they have not succeeded in transferring the image to [and] or uneven bodies.  The patents held by this company claim the exclusive discovery of this latter process, [and] the portraits that they produce by it derive, as may [ ? ] imagined, a peculiarly soft and pleasing effect from transparency of the porcelain.

Photographs on Porcelain.—Portraits, far superior to the most exquisite miniatures in color, brilliancy, beauty and durability, produced by manual art are now being taken by the patented process of the American Porcelain Company, at their rooms, No. 781 Broadway.  These likenesses form the most economical, appropriate and beautiful presents for the holiday season, and all persons will do [well] to examine specimens of this novel and magnificent mode of photographing and compare its superiority over the ordinary and vulgar method.  The only place they can be taken is at No. 781 Broadway, nearly opposite Grace church.
