TABLEWARE-MAUD MASON 
SOME TABLEWARE DECORATIONS 
THESE photographs of tableware exhibited b\" Miss Maud 
Mason, were received too late for publication with the 
article on the exhibit of the New York Ceramic Societ3^ 
Although interesting in design, the chief beauty lies in the 
color which can not easily be described. Of the three plates 
selected as most representative from a goodly number, the 
design of orange trees was perhaps the most attractive — carried 
MISS MAUD MASON 
out in rich orange, blue and green. The centre plate and bowl 
were in grey blue, the other plate in greyed tones of blue, 
orange and green which were exceeding^ effective. The 
stein was carried out in blue greys and the claret pitcher in 
olive tones, the lenrons being yellow Math an olive tinge. It 
was unusually^complete in design and color. 
TREATMENT FOR PLATE IN THORN APPLES

THE colors used in the bright little berries are the same as 
in currants, namely Dresden Yellow, Red, Pompadour 
No. 2T, and Stewart's Pompadour with which a little Rub}- 
Purple has been mixed. In some of the upper berries which 
are not quite ripe. Lemon Yellow and Yellow Green may be 
used. The leaves of the thorn apple iway be very vivid in 
coloring at time the fruit is ripe. One or two of those most 
prominent are laid in with Lemon Yellow, Yellow Brown, 
Brown Green, Pompadour and Chestnut Brown, the Yellow 
predominating. 
A touch of Yellow Red at the tip will give more brilliancj-. 
More of the green tones may be used in the remaining leaves. 
A pretty harmony may be obtained by keeping the back- 
groiuid in Yellows and Browns. Ivory Yellow, Yellow Brown 
and Chestnut Brown may be used. In the third painting the 
darkest parts of the background may be powdered with same 
colors as used in painting, throwing parts of the design under 
the color, giving an underglaze effect.
