RERAMIC STUDIO 
BOUNCING BET— MARGARET OVERBECK 
A delicate pink flower with pale green stems and leaf, very 
effective against a blue grey background. 
PEACOCK PANEL 
Olive Sherman 
THE blue ground color, also the green at the base of the 
study, are rich in color and depth. The clouds, also 
parts of the tail feathers are etched into the china, and then 
carried out with the application of gold. The whole form is 
outlined in black, using a broader line for the bird and limb, 
thus throwing into the distance the clouds. The bird is exe- 
cuted in enamels and lustre. For a deep green purple effect 
with lustre for the feathers, use coat of Rose then Gold, burnish 
highly, lastljf a coat of Yellow. Silver lustre is used for the 
limb and on the bird between the enamel.

PAINT the apples with Poppy Red for the first firing, and in 
the leaves, use warm greens, browns and yellows with 
Dark Brown and Ruby Purple in the stems. Keep the apples 
round. 
Second firing— The background at the top of the tankard 
is Banding Blue toning into Shading Green, then into Poppy 
Red. This last color forms the ground on the other side of the 
tankard. The color under the main cluster of fruit is rich 
Poppy Red shading into BroA\Ti Greens at the base of tankard. 
Use a little Pompadour on the apples this time and paint in the 
blossoms ends with black. For the third firing, vein the 
leaves and accent all parts to make the piece look finished.

I DOUBT if any reproduction could give this little flower the 
delicacy and beauty of its natural state, for it is one of the 
most graceful and dainty of the mountain wild flowers. The 
general color is quite blue, verj? near purple, and on examining 
them carefully you will find some flowers from even a delicate 
pink shading into deep purple. The wiry, dark green stalk 
stands erect except as the wind bends it so easily and graceful^. 
BONBONNIERE DESIGN 
Mrs. Alice Witie Sloan 
THIS suggestion for a decorative treatment of the peacock 
motif for a bonbonniere top, can be effectively executed 
in lustres and gold with perhaps a few touches of enamels. 
Some combinations for peacock tones in lustre are as follows: 
Dark Green over Purple, Dark Green over Ruby, Yellow Brown 
over Green, Yellow over Blue Grej'; for the ground a delicate 
tinting of Yellow over Rose would give a pearly sky effect. 
Black lustre as the bodj^ of the bonbonniere would be most 
effective.
