BLUEBIRD TEA SET— HENRIETTA BARCLAY PAIST 
'T^HIS simple little decoration can be done in two firings 
-*- on the white ground of the china. The design should 
be outlined in Blue and Green (Green only for the leaves and 
stems) and the handles and rims dusted with Copenhagen 
Blue. The beaks and eyes can be painted solid for the first 
fire with Grey and Black. 
For the second fire the birds are dusted with Copen- 
hagen Blue, the berries with a brighter Blue, the leaves with 
Grey Green and the stems and feet of birds with Yellow 
Brown. If enamels are preferred, one firing can be made to 
do, although it is usually advisable to use the outline. 
For the enamels the following are suggested from the 
Cherry palette: "Swiss Blue" for birds, "Azure" for 
berries, "Buff Brown" for stems, "Marion Grey" for feet 
and for leaves Florentine Green No. 1, to which can be 
added a little "Blue Green." Beaks and eyes, "Brown Grey."
