Green and Apple with Moss Green in the reflected lights. 
The very high lights are Apple Green, the shading with a 
little Moss Green toward the outer edge of leaves. The 
berries are made with Apple Green and Yellow for the light 
berries, Apple Green and Violet for the darker ones, touches 
of Moss Green on shadow side. 
Stems are made with Violet and a little Blood Red; the 
shading of stems is Violet added to the Violet and Blood 
Red. For background use Yellow, Violet, Sea Green and 
Copenhagen Blue. Use the Yellow around berries, then thin 
wash of Violet, Sea Green around the design on the darker 
side, then shade into Copenhagen Blue. The second firing, 
strengthen design with the same colors used in first firing.

FIRST Fire — Background, Yellow Green on background 
and high lights of leaves and stems. Dark leaves and 
stems in Shading Green and Fry's Grey for Flesh. 
Shadow leaves, Grey for Flesh with a touch of Pompa- 
dour. 
Flowers, Albert Yellow with a touch of Grey for Flesh. 
Center of flower, Yellow Brown with a touch of Pompadour; 
shadows around center, Grey for Flesh, with a touch of 
Shading Green. 
Second Fire — Background, Shading Green and Grey for 
Flesh with a touch of Pompadour warmed with a little Yel- 
low Brown. 
Flowers, strengthen color if needed. 
Dark leaves, strengthen tone if needed. 
Third Fire — The whole effect of this study should be a 
yellow green tone. If the background is still too yellow use 
a (very) thin tone of Banding Blue over the entire study and 
strengthen any tone which is out of value.

CUP AND SAUCER— (Page 74) 
Treatment by Jessie Bard 
PAINT Fry's special oil over all parts of the design. 
Let it stand and when almost dry dust into it the dry 
powder mixture of one part Royal Purple, one-half part 
Aztec Blue and two parts Ivory Glaze. Rub it in as long as 
it will take powder. To be done in one fire. 
WAFER JAR (Page 83) 
Hannah B. Overbeck 
TINT entire jar with Grey for Flesh to which has been 
added a little Black Green. After firing outline entire 
design in Black. Paint large light flower and light bud 
Violet of Iron except center of flower which should be 
Empire Green; tint light part of background, that is, lower 
part of jar and central part of lid, with Grey for Flesh and 
paint the rest of design in Violet of Iron with enough Grey 
for Flesh to give a greyish tone. In the third firing dust the 
dark background about the design with Grey for Flesh and 
paint other parts so they are properly balanced. 
ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS 
D. T. — A monogram for bread and butter plates should be an inch or 
less and one and a half inch for dinner plates. It is always best to have two 
bands with it, one about an eighth of an inch wide, the other one-third as large. 
Place them close together. Price will depend on original piece of white china. 
If French China is used the small plate should be $1.00 and the dinner plate 
$ 1.25 to $1.50 according to price of the plate.
