TREATMENT FOR ORANGE BOWL 
Anna B. Leonard 
THE design is first outlined with black and Pompadour Red ; 
just enough of the latter to give a warm brown color, 
but not red. After the outline is drawn fill in the design with 
flat washes of enamel. 
To a body enamel (two-thirds aufsetzweis, one-third Han- 
cock's Hard Enamel, and flux about one-eighth of the mixture), 
add the greens and yellows as the tone is desired. To color 
enamel for the oranges use Mixing Yellow and Orange Yellow, 
and for a darker shade add Pompadour Red (German) and a 
little black. To color the enamel green use a mixture of 
Apple Green and Mixing Yellow, (Lacroix) half and half, ad- 
ding a little Brown Green and Black to tone down the vivid 
green, and for the darker shades of green use with this 
mixture Chrome Green 3B, and more Brown Green and Black. 
The wide band on the top and bottom is dark green, and 
the narrow band is Silver Yellow with a little Yellow Brown 
(German) and black added. 
This same design looks well with a background of yellow 
brown lustre with the leaves in bronze and the oranges in 
gold. Wide bands bronze and the narrow band gold. In the 
first treatment the background may be left white or it may 
have a light tint of Yellow brown with a little black — to give 
an old ivory color. But to leave the background white gives 
a quaint appearance. The same design drawn larger looks 
well on a punch bowl, more leaves could be massed at the 
top to keep the right character and proportion. 
RECIPE FOR LIQUID BRIGHT GOLD 
Miss Emily Peacock 
DISSOLVE 1 drachm of gold in ^ oz. of Aqua Regia. Add 
6 grains of metallic tin, using more Aqua Regia if 
required to dissolve it. Pour with constant stirring into a 
mixture of y 2 drachm of balsam of sulphur and 20 drachms of 
oil of turpentine; as it stiffens, add % drachm of oil of turpen- 
tine and mix well. More gold gives brighter effect, and more 
tin a violet tinge. Balsam of sulphur is made by boiling 
together in a covered vessel 1 part flowers of sulphur and 4 
parts oil of lavender until the mass thickens.
