KERAMIC STUDIO 
\ 
PLACQUE, ADAPTED FROM THE JAPANESE— HENRIETTA BARCLAY PAIST 
THE original of this study was a Satsumaplacque, background 
toned to a soft old ivory. The bird is grey in the middle 
values, black for the darkest values, with a wash of old pink, 
Vandyke Brown or Violet of Iron, all over the breast. 
The leaves are in delicate tones of greens and Grey Green, 
with a flush of Violet of Iron over the darkest values, the tree 
trunk in tones of gi-ey and the flowers a delicate old pink made 
with Violet of Iron very thin. 
The leaves and flowers may be outlined and veined with 
delicate tracing of raised paste covered with gold. This gives 
a decorative effect to the whole.
