FIRST PRIZE— GLASS COMPETITION 
etc., Golden Amber is a very effective lustre, a light and deli- 
cate shade. For this purpose also Blue Pearl and Iridescent 
Pearl are good. For claret glasses, Rose Shell looks very 
good, as it is a suggestive shade and very delicate. Amethyst. 
also for drinking glasses seems to please the public. 
All these effects can be obtained easily. I forgot to men- 
tion that rather than dip the brush in the lustre bottle, I find 
it quicker and more satisfactory to pour a few drops of the 
lustre on a saucer and take the lustre with the brush from this 
saucer. 
As a diversion some table glasses may have a small gold 
rim at the top or even at the foot, or a delicate border, either 
etched or in enamels, but in that case only the simplest and 
plainest borders should be used. 
I have painted tumblers with just a narrow band in Pea- 
cock Blue lustre or in Ruby and the effect was very good. 
Of course there are many other kinds of decorations 
which my further articles will describe, but a good, sound 
advice to students is to limit themselves first to single, all over 
shades of lustres, a decoration which is easily and cheaply 
obtained and sells well. 
As to the application of one lustre over the other, the 
same rules should be followed as for china. One lustre must 
be fired before you apply the second. I have tried and found 
good the following effects: Iridescent Pearl over a previously 
fired application of Amethyst, or Orange, or Pearl Blue, or 
Rose Shell. This Iridescent Pearl will also give a very rich 
tone over Turquoise Blue and Peacock Blue. 
To summarize the lustre lesson, you should remember the 
following important points: Clean your glass thoroughly with 
alcohol and dry it with a lintless cloth. If you have no alcohol 
use soap suds and dry the glass well. Apply lustres quickly 
with a large brush, being careful not to leave any uncovered 
spots. Dry your glass lustre as soon as it has been applied, 
this is very important. Do not apply gold or enamels over 
unfired lustre. 
The firing lesson will be given in next number.
