KERAMIC STUDIO 
127 
One table was entirely devoted to Miss 
Peterson's work. Conspicuous j among the 
exhibits was a' chop plate with dandelion 
motive executed in natural colors, but soft- 
ened for decorative effect. A smaller plate 
in floral ornament, excellently planned and 
carefully executed. Her chocolate set and 
salad or fruit dish were also admirable ex- 
amples of workmanship. 
It will be interesting to the co-workers in 
this line to know that Kokoma has sent in 
a collective exhibit each year and also 
that while they have been prize winners in 
the past and received some distinction in this display, still 
possibly a little word to them against their lavish use of gold 
might be useful. 
Mr. Kastner of Milwaukee showed a unique decoration 
done in paste and colored golds which completely covered, in 
a most decorative manner, the panels of a large size water 
jug. The handle was ovide and presented a sufficient surface 
for some of the beautiful ornamentation that he used so gen- 
erously on the pitcher but it was gold covered. There were 
many other handles treated in this rather past-date way. 
MISTLETOE DESIGN FOR NUT BOWL— GEORGIA B. SPAINHOWER 
The critics of the present urge all ceramic artists to give the 
same study to the smaller spaces that they do to the main 
masses. The nose of the tea pot at the base, if needed; at 
the spout if so shaped or perhaps both; the covers, and by all 
means the handles. Do not cover them with gold if you can 
arrange any relative color scheme. So pronounced has this 
feeling become that none but the most tiny or slender handles 
are now being covered with gold, in fact all large surfaces of 
gold are being discouraged. Lack of space forbids mention 
of much other interesting work.
