KXRAMIC STUDIO 
4' 
EXHIBITION AT NATIONAL ARTS CLUB 
AN exhibition of artistic glass has just been closed at the 
galleries of the National Arts Club. It consisted of 
antique and modern glass, Chinese and European pieces, 
and a large showing of modern American ware. Among 
those who exhibited stained or leaded glass in windows were 
John La Farge, Mrs. Henry Whitman of Boston ; Miss Oakley 
of Philadelphia, and E. D. Sperry of this city. 
From the La Farge workshops comes a large memorial 
window for Harvard. 
Mrs. Whitman showed flower pieces, among which was a 
water lily design. The Tiffany Favrile glass was well repre- 
sented by three large cases full of "peacock" pieces, as well 
as the lighter toned jars, vases and bowls. A large selection 
from the glass collection of A. W. Drake of the Century Mag- 
azine, comprised many pieces — glass tankards, with holes in 
the sides for the fingers; Dutch bottles, with sea fights of the 
seventeenth century, and flasks in animal forms. 
Another case was full of the old Greek and Roman 
glass, together with dark blue old Chinese vases of thick glass 
and cameo snuff bottles of glass imitating porcelain, pottery 
and jade. 
The slender plant forms that Professor Kopping, of Ber- 
lin, used to evolve before he stopped his experiments in small 
glass were present in a few examples lent by Cottier & Co. 
There were specimens of Venetian and English glass, as well 
as modern French. 
HAZELNUT STUDY FOR NUT BOWL 
Mariam L. Candler 
THE nuts are laid in with yellow brown, shaded with dark 
brown and finishing brown, leaving the yellow brown for 
the high light. 
The nuts are enveloped in a soft green husk, which may 
be laid in with moss green or yellow green, modeling them 
with brown green and shading green. 
Keep the foliage clear and crisp, using a touch of Russian 
Green, Moss Green and Brown Green. Suggest shadowy 
foliage with lighter shades of Gold Gray, softening into the 
background. 
Keep the background in harmony with the design, using 
Ivory Yellow, in the center a dash of Lavender Glaze, then 
Yellow Brown, Deep Red Brown and Dark Brown. When 
sufficiently dry, powder over the background with the same 
colors used in flushing. In retouching, glaze with same colors, 
accenting here and there with touches of deeper color. Model 
and refire until the desired effect is obtained. 
PLATE DESIGN— ANNA B. LEONARD 
THIS design may be carried out in raised gold, or color. 
A treatment in blue and green enamel would be very 
simple and attractive for a salad plate or breakfast plate. The 
five leaf blossom may be in turquoise effect, or in dark blue, 
obtained by using the Lacroix Dark Blue, a touch of German 
Ruby Purple and a little Black, using one-eighth Aufsetweis 
with this color. The center to be in yellow and gold. 
The narrow lines outlining the band of scales are 
to be in dark blue. The design is outlined in black 
(with a touch of blue), and the outer row of scales is to be 
filled in with the dark blue and the inner row to be filled in 
with a rich green. There is then a space of white (or gold), 
and the extreme edge is to be dark blue. This is very effec- 
tive carried out in Capucine Red, Gold and Black. 
For the green use a mixture of equal parts Apple Green 
and Mixing Yellow, adding Chrome Green 3B, Brown Green, 
and a touch of Black. 
To this add one-fourth Aufsetweis.
