of these nor with any luster, to which class these prepara- 
tions belong. When using bright silver, clean the china 
until it is spotless. Clean it with alcohol, and 
wipe it with a bit of lavender oil on a cloth 
which is free from lint, before applying the 
silver. Every tiny streak or spot left on the 
surface will spot it. Clean the china until it 
is perfectly free from anything which will 
affect the silver, and then clean it again. 
Too much emphasis cannot be placed upon 
this point. 
|*§j The bright silver will take a hard firing, 
and comes from the kiln with a high glaze. 
If after it is fired any thin streaks look grey, 
these can be covered by a second coat and 
the piece should be fired again. 
The bright silver is opaque, and two 
coats will give a beautiful, solid effect. 
This is very rich and attractive when used in 
combination with black outline, and pink and 
grey ; or with a black background and touches 
of bright color. 
Mat silver and bright silver may be 
mixed together. After this is fired and 
burnished, it has a lovely, soft, satiny gloss. 
This lesson has gone into much detail 
concerning gold and silver; but as it will be 
used for reference on these subjects during 
the remainder of the course, be careful not to 
confuse the various methods discussed. Read 
and study it all, but especially study and 
digest the parts that apply directly to the 
problem which you have to work out for 
this lesson.
