BOWL (Color Supplement) 
Albert W. Heckman 
FOR German or French Hard China. — First fire, tint the whole 
bowl with Trenton Ivory. Second fire, oil all the blue of 
the design with special tinting oil and dust with Water Green 2 
parts and Glaze for Blue 1 part. The flowers and buds may be 
left white as in the illustration or they may be colored. If 
colors are used, dust the flower with yellow, a tone darker than 
the background. Use deep Ivory for the buds. 
For Belleek or Satsuma. — Enamels may be used with good 
effects. A color scheme such as the above may be used or, if 
one cares for a color scheme of bright reds and yellows, the fol- 
lowing is suggested: Use Vermillion for the buds, Orange for 
the flower forms, Ochre outlines and Golden Yellow for the yel- 
low leaf form. In place of the blue in the design use a dark 
green of the following mixture: two parts Golden Y'ellow, one 
part Nankin Blue and a half part Orange.
