ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS 
Mrs. G. — Your iridescent came out milky because you have put some 
other liquid in with it. Use Iridescent pure and spread it well. 
Mrs. S. — You state your glasses have a trifle rough surface. They are 
underfired. Open your kiln while the fire is burning, look at your glasses to 
see if they are bright and shining, and if not, close the door and keep up 
your firing until they are correct. The opening of the door will not hurt. 
Mr. A. — If you caunot see through the peep-hole take the isinglass 
away and put in its place a piece of glass such as is used on gold slabs, 
of course it will break, but you change it every time you fire.

SHERBERT GLASS— SYVILLA FISTER GETZ 
CLEAN perfectly well, with alcohol, outside and inside. 
Apply inside and also over stem and foot Golden Amber 
Lustre, dry at once. Apply design on the outside in solid Ro- 
man Gold. The litttle flower in the center can be painted 
(when gold is very dry) in Turquoise Blue. Space for small 
design at the foot of the glass should be kept free from the 
golden amber background. This design can be painted in one 
firing. 
WATER GOBLET— ELIZABETH ROBERTS

hol or soap suds, dry well. Apply inside Iridescent Lus- 
tre. Apply also over stem and foot and dry at once. Outline

be painted now in Maroon or Ruby Lustre, then fire. On the

We call attention to our glass design competition, 
announced in editorial columns and on back cover page. 
Most dealers have now a stock of glass shapes and there 
is no doubt that there will be an almost unlimited demand 
for artistically decorated glass, as the bulk of decorated glass 
in the trade is loaded with very bad designs. Designs for 
glass should be simple, they should enhance, not destroy, 
the natural beauty of the glass.
