NATURALISTIC SECTION OF ftERAMIC STUDIO 
TEA SET (Page 2) 
Walter Karl Titze 
TO those who have difficulty in keeping the drawing firmly 
fixed in their minds, I would suggest drawing carefully 
with India ink or water black, the design. Oil the entire sur- 
face of the sugar and creamer with special tinting oil and with 
a clean pad, changing the pad often, pad until no oil seems to 
stick to the pad. Allow to stand a while then dry dust with 2 
parts Reynold's Paris Brown and 1 part Cherry's Mode. Let 
this stand for about an hour, then with an orange wood stick, 
cut out the roses and stems. Paint the roses with Albert Yel- 
low shading with Yellow Brown and Brown Green. Centers 
Yellow Brown and a little Yellow Red. Leaves are Yellow 
Green. Stems to be left white. 
Second Fire — Retouch roses with same color as in first 
fire. The dark brown stems and leaves are Paris Brown and 
Hair Brown. 
The borders are worked in the same way.

Green No. 2, 1 part Water Lily Green, 3 parts Pearl Grey. Oil 
stems and dust with 2 parts Dove Grey and 1 part Mode. Oil 
flowers and dust with Yellow for Dusting. 
Second fire — Oil over background and dust with 3 parts 
Pearl Grey, 1 part Dark Grey, | part Deep Ivory. Paint the 
shading in the flowers with Yellow Brown and Dark Grey, and 
the very darkest touches with Yellow Brown and Blood Red, 
with touches of Dark Brown. 
BOWL OR PLATE DESIGN— WALTER KARL TITZE 
THIS design can be used either as a plate or the inside of 
the new Nippon bowl with handles. Trace birds and 
spider webs in carefully. Oil and dry dust with one part Ivory 
Glaze and three parts Mode. Allow to stand and then with a 
stick cut out the birds and spider web. Web to be left orange 
white. Fire. 
Second Fire — Paint in the violets over the dusted surface. 
The undertone of Mode is an excellent surface for the violets 
and leaves. Breasts of the birds are painted with Yellow 
Brown. Wings are Olive Green and tail, ends of wings and 
head are Black.
