CHOP PLATTER (Supplement) 
/1mm 5. Leonard 
r I MTIS design has been reduced in size and was made for 
J- chop platter of medium size and not for a dinner 
plate, although it would be correct for a handsome service 
plate. 
If it is applied to any other size note the proportions 
of the spacing, from the center out. 
Divide the rim in twelve sections, drawing the pencil 
lines to the center. Then decide where the bands are to 
come and draw the circles complete; this will guide you in 
building up your design. The more of these guides you 
have, the more freely will your design fit in place. 
The green used for the bands and panels is a greyish 
green and this particular green was made with Apple Green 
(Lacroix) and Black to tone, with a very little of Yellow 
for Mixing (Lacroix), flux is added to give a high glaze, 
always desirable for table ware. 
The dark blue is made of Dark Blue, a little Night 
Green and Black, with flux and enamel. Use the German 
tube enamel because it is finely ground and mixes readily 
with color. Only enough enamel is required in this dark 
color to change the character or quality of the flat paint, 
and it is not to be applied for high relief. To gain the vio- 
let tone add a little Carmine to the Dark Blue. 
The paler shades of green are obtained by adding more 
enamel and flux to your Apple Green and Black and Mix- 
ing Yellow. Do not be afraid of putting in quantities of 
enamel if you wish pale shades, only be careful always to 
add about one-fourth flux every time you add more enamel, 
and so not attempt to raise it too much from the china; it 
only tends towards an opaque effect and you must strive 
for transparency. 
This design was suggested by some quaint old embroid- 
ery designs, which are so full of beautiful ideas for all 
designers. 
This same design either in whole or part is very charm- 
ing in copper lustre and looks well on a plaque. 
The center may be used successfully on a bon bon cover, 
or arranged as part of another design. 
The grey all-over pattern on the surface of the white 
china forming the background is made of Apple Green and 
Carmine No. 3 (Lacroix) half and half, with about one-third 
flux to give a perfect glaze. This must be pale and not 
obtrusive; it is only to tone the white and has a better 
quality than a single tone of grey. 
The panel part of the design may be used for tea sets. 
Then the narrow panelling may be used for edges of plates, 
or cups and saucers.
