-I have a piece of china from which the lustre has been removed 
with acid and relinled with Peach Blossom and Mauve in different parts of the 
elesign. The color has small black specks through the tint. Can you suggest 
any wan to relinl or cover these flaws and not lose the design? 
It is impossible to answer this question without seeing the design and 
the coloring. A darker tint could be used if it would not spoil the effect of 
the design. 
Mrs. I. — / would like to ask about a piece of china I saw which had a 
ground of an Ivory tint but instead of a glaze it was dull, looked like lint padded 
and dry before firing. I do malt work but this looked different, very fine and soft, 
like velvet. Can you tell me how it was done? 
Some people apply acid to the china, just enough to dull the glaze and 
then paint over it and this has a matt effect, possibly that is what you refer to. 
./. P. II. — How can I mend a doll's head of wax and what colors will it 
lake when mended? Are there any wax colors I can gel? 
What can I thin lustre with when it is too thick? 
1. We do not know, apply to a Doll Hospital. 
2. Thin lustres with Garden Lavender Oil. 
FORGET-ME-NOT SUGAR BOWL AND PLATE— ALBERT W. HECKMAN 
The gray bands in the design are Dove Gray; flowers are blue and stems green, and a bit of Yellow Brown in centers of flowers. 
This may be carried our in flat enamels with good effect, using blue for flowers, Violet for buds and 
Dark Green for leaves and outlines of flowers, and a light Gray Green for bands in the design.
