CONVENTIONAL PLATE DESIGN— MABEL C. DIBBLE 
OUTLINE in black, ivory black and dark blue, the pair 
narrow bands in green enamel ; the two bands of leaves 
are to be dark blue, with greyish tone. Add deep purple and 
Brunswick black to the dark blue, a bit more black than pur- 
ple. Use one-eighth Aufsetzweiss, or only a little oil, and 
wash it in without the enamel effect. The leaves and scrolls 
around the larger flowers in center band are green enamel — 
the large flower only shaded in — in the blue mixture, leaving 
edge of petals white; but the three little black bands lay in 
quite heavy. The green leaves on the two dark grey blue 
bands, and the blue flowers, with green leaves on the wide 
white band, make a charmingly effective plate, and one that 
is surely very simple. One word of warning, be sure and 
space off your plate, and then have the seven lines or circles 
put on with a banding wheel. The outer green band is the 
edge of the plate, so only the one line is necessary there.
