as necessary to fit the space — possibly this will leave but one 
cluster of leaves. On the sugar it may be necessary to omit 
leaves altogether, or, as on the creamer, omit the lowest flower 
and use the cluster of leaves for a terminal. On the cup and 
saucer it will be necessary to simplify the panel still further so 
that it will come gracefully to the center, and for the plate 
the extra curve with bud must be omitted so that the design 
will remain on the border. Thus you can see that even the 
most elaborate ornament can be made to fit all shapes by re- 
moving a portion here or there to make the design fit the de- 
sired space Of course, in making a set from this design, it 
would be advisable to use on all pieces the same little or sub- 
ordinate border. This has been purposely varied on the dif- 
ferent pieces to give opportunity for choice. The interior of 
the panel can be tinted of a harmonizing or contrasting tone, 
made solid gold or fine flat gold, or enamel dots. A few sug- 
gestions of color schemes might be useful: 
1. Ground, cream; panels, yellow brown; stems and 
leaves, pale green or brown ; flower, Yellow; outline in green, 
brown or gold ; band in gold with design in black. 
2. Ground, white; leaves and stems in pale green; 
flowers in dull blue, or a pinkish, bluish or grey violet; out- 
line in dull blue, green or brown; small band with design 
color of flowers on a green ground or vice versa. 
3. Design in two shades of gold on cream or white or 
tinted ground ; outline, black; small border in flat enamels on 
a gold ground with black outlines. 
4. White ground; panels, in pearl grey; flowers, Pink; 
leaves and stems, grey greens for Celadon or pale brown; 
outline in grey green for leaves, Brown for flowers; small bor- 
der, gold and enamels on a pink ground. A pinkish violet, a 
buff or pale blue or yellow could be substituted for the pink. 
The simple cup and saucer design made of leaf and stem 
repeated can be carried out in any monochrome with outline. 
This should be of use to the beginner. For one trying to de- 
sign the most useful practice is to combine the various small 
parts of the flower to make designs, without trying to use the 
whole flower. Many of the best results are obtained this way.
