OPEN VEGETABLE DISH 
Design by Stewart E. Mayer 
TRACE the design on dish and outline with Black. For 
second fire oil the three leaves at both sides of flower 
and dust with Florentine Green. The oil should be ap- 
plied very sparingly so it will not take much color. Oil 
flower and dust with Deep Ivory, or Cameo may be used if 
a pink color is preferred. Oil all bands and dust with 1 
part Dove Grey and 1 part Ivory Glaze. 
The outline may be omitted in this design, in which 
case a fine line should be scratched out between the leaves 
to separate them. 
ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS 
Mrs. A. S. — Recently a salad plate tinted with color all over the surface was 
totally ruined with salad. Was the plate under-fired or what could have been the 
cause? How can the plate be repaired? 
If the color had no glaze it may have been under-fired or if the salad had 
much acid in it the acid might affect the color — ^the trouble could have been 
caused either way. 
It is hard to tell how to* correct it without seeing the plate. If the tint is a 
light one it could be patched by touching in the color where it is rubbed off, care 
should be used not to go over the edges of the other color or it will show where it 
is joined. Acid could be used also to take off the color that remains but there is 
danger of spoiling the design unless you put a resist over the parts not to be 
removed.
