TEA SET— (Page 63) 
Henrietta Barclay Paist 
THIS little unit can be adapted to any plain shape and is 
to be carried out. in green and yellow with white ground. 
The single flower units are for top and base of handles and for 
cover's handles. The creamer calls for three units, the 
sugar bowl two or four and the teapot five including the spout. 
The bands are to be in green (flat or enamel). There is a 
scarcity of shapes in white china but many lovely little sets 
can be found in pottery from the various factories in lovely 
soft blues, yellow, green, brown and rose tints. These can 
be decorated in relief without outlines. These sets usually 
have the tea tile to match and the little unit shown can be 
applied in the center.

PROVERBS FOR THE CHINA DECORATOR 
Henrietta Barclay Paist 
A bird on a vase is worth two in a tree — (especially if 
the vase is Satsuma and done in enamels.) 
It's a wise designer who knows her own design after the 
china painters have juggled with it. 
Learn to make your own designs and it will follow as the 
night the day — you'll not be tempted to copy those of others. 
A china decorator is not without honor except in her own 
Club and among her own Club members. 
A piece of china whole is worth a dozen cracked. 
It's as hard for the china painter's ethics to stand the fiery 
test as for her products to go through the hands of the "hired 
girl". 
A married artist has to be as agile as a Swiss bell ringer. 
Better is a dish with no decoration than one covered up 
with bad ornament. 
China painters indulge too much in that sincerest form 
of flattery. 
As the work is performed the jury is inclined. 
Don't count your prizes before they are awarded. 
The prizes fall to the just and the near-just. 
Hell hath no fury like the unlucky exhibitor at the State 
Fair. 
None but the fair deserve the prizes. 
Wrong names on large vases are often seen in public 
places. 
The sauce for the Gander is served in a dish which was 
painted by the Goose. 
As long as the kilns hold out to burn, the vilest china will 
return. 
The china painter paints china though no buyer persueth. 
It is not nearly as hard for a china decorator to get into 
the Kingdom of Heaven as it is for her to break into an estab- 
lished Art Society and the chances are that she'll feel more 
welcome in the first mentioned place — because Heaven is sure 
of its reputation and can afford to be a bit lenient. 
All of the arts may constitute one big family but until 
recently china decorators had to furnish the dishes for the rest 
of the family to eat on and eat their meals in the kitchen and 
then wash the dishes afterward. It is only of late that they've 
made up their minds that they ought to eat with the rest of 
the family and are studying company manners so that the family 
won't be ashamed of them.
