The toilet set is found both in Belleekand in white china, 
frequently with a slightly raised design, but this can 
be easily ignored. The set should be decorated with an eye 
to the room it is to furnish, if blue leave white ground for 
centre, make Poppies in a pale shade of blue, stems in darker 
blue, with a touch of black, if a Copenhagen blue is used for 
the lighter tone, leaves and buds in a medium shade, stamens 
and outline in black or dark blue mixed with black, dark 
border, dark blue mixed with black, and dotted space grey. 
If more of a turquoise shade is desired to match room use for 
Poppies, deep blue green, turquoise green or chrome water 
green according to desired shade, for stems, etc., pale brown, 
or dull grey green, outer edge a deeper tone of the blue and 
dotted space grey, outline gold or dark green 7. If a red 
effect is desired make edge black, dotted space pale brown, 
center cream, using lustres. For Poppies use ruby for first 
fire, orange for second; for leaves, stems and buds, dark and 
light green lustre for first fire, brown lustre for second, out- 
line with black. For a yellow room use a dark brown outer 
edge made of Meissen 2 /^ and Finishing Brown %, for dotted 
space brown lustre and ivory lustre for center, for Poppies 
yellow and orange lustre, brown lustre for leaves, stems and 
buds, outlines dark brown. For a pink room tint edge pink 
to match, center cream, Poppies in shades of grey and green 
greys, or using lustre make outer edge light green lustre over 
violet, for Poppies yellow over rose, and for leaves and 
stems, etc., light green over rose. This gives a sort of 
mother of pearl effect. It would be risky to try and match a 
pink in lustres. Outlines dark green 7 or gold. For a green 
room make edge dark green over ruby, dotted spaces dark 
green over rose. The Poppies in yellow brown first, brown 
second fire, leaves, etc., in dark green first and brown second 
fire, or use for entire design different shades of light and dark 
green, giving extra coats to make darker. 
The design for cup and saucer is suitable to an entire 
table furnishing and can be developed in many ways. We 
give a few color schemes for selection.
