FOR OUR INSPIRATION 
THE bowl illustrated this month for our inspiration is 
one in the South Kensington Museum collections. It 
has always interested me for the beautiful spacing of its nu- 
merous borders. Only the back of the bowl is shown and it 
is especially entertaining to note the manner in which the 
base has been treated. Around the largest part of the bowl 
we have our most important and dominating border, the nar- 
row and brilliant borders at its sides framing and giving it 
importance, while the other borders play their part in covering 
• the surface and making an interesting whole. The propor- 
tions of every space and line are all so carefully considered and 
thoroughly satisfying that I think the design affords us a fine 
lesson in the spacing of borders on our porcelains whether we 
are using one or many.
