ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS 
MRS. N.G. M. — Can you tell me if there is anything particular about Black 
Lustre in applying? Does it have to be pounced? Orange does, does it not? I 
have never used either and want to use them on a study {Supplement to Keramic 
Studio, July 1902, Cojjee Set by Miss E. Mason) 
It is not necessary to pounce either the Black or Orange Lustre unless you 
are covering a large surface and cannot get it even. If you put a drop or two 
of Lavender Oil in the Lustre it will keep open a little longer and is easier to 
apply. 
E. V. M. — Please tell us the cause, when we light the asbestos the flame goes 
down instead of up, the burner is not covered, and there is a good draught. 
If the smoke goes down as well as the flame it is due to either dampness 
or the flue must be choked up. | 
M. D. — 1. — How do you color Salsuma ware? I put a Satsuma vase
