GOLD ETRUSCAN WARE. 



i'lic highest art in the arrangement of 

 flinvcrs is to follow nature, and the 

 hij;iiost art in originating florists' sup- 

 pli(>s is to enhance the beauty of the 

 flowers. Gold Etruscan ware comes a 

 step nearer to this end than the natural 

 olVccts in twig and birchbark. In cer- 

 tain lights, under certain conditions, 

 twig and birch are unsatisfactory. In 

 thos-e lights, under these conditions, 

 Etruscan ware is seen at its best, the 

 richness of its finish increasing the effect 

 of leaf and flower. 



(!old Etruscan ware is the name given 

 by M. Eice & Co. to a combination of 

 ok! gold and green, a combination which, 

 I ain told, it has taken months of hard 

 work to perfect. Baskets, hampers, 

 vases, pedestals and pot covers are 

 treated in this way, producing a bronze- 

 green effect of great richness, described 

 Ity the expert as high lights, but which 

 to the everyday individual means a fin- 

 ish that cannot be obtained in any other 

 way. Etruscan ware was not reached in 

 a "lay; there were the green stages, not 

 Wholly satisfactory, and the bronze and 

 (li I gold stages, that became tiresome to 

 tl '• eye. The combination satisfies the 

 ni' St critical. Phil.
