LUNCH SET--A. W. HECKMAN 
First Prize in Lunch Set Competition 
THIS set may be executed in one firing by first sketching 
in the design with diluted India ink, use distilled water 
in diluting, and then tinting the background, after which the 
piece should be dried well in a hot oven previous to painting 
in the units and connecting lines. For the flower forms and 
upright center stems use two parts Yellow Brown, one part 
Copenhagen Grey with a touch of Sepia. The leaves and 
outer lines are two parts Olive Green and one part Copenhagen 
Grey. The centers of the flowers are a bright Yellow. For 
tinting the lighter part of the background use Lemon Yellow 
with a little Yellow Green and for the darker parts add Yellow 
Brown. The border on the bottom of the jar is to be used on 
the edge of the fid. 
This design is much more effective when done in several 
flrings, using Yellow and Yellow Brown lustre together with 
Gold, Green Gold and a touch of Bright Green color. For the 
first fire mark out the lines along the edge of the borders and 
paint in the lustre. The lighter tint is Yellow padded very 
thin and the darker values are Yellow Brown lustre. Tint the 
lid the same as the body of the jar and use the narrow border 
on the edge of the lid. For the second fire paint in the leaves 
and outer bands with Green Gold and the flower forms in 
Roman Gold. Paint in the centers of the flowers and center 
upright stems with Empire Green. Repeat this fire, burnish 
the gold and give the whole jar a wash of Yellow Brown lustre. 
The handle may be in gold or in Yellow Brown lustre ac- 
cording to the individual preference. If gold is used wash the 
lustre over it also as with the flower forms. For a simpler 
one-flre treatment execute in gold, silver and green or blue 
green and yellow brown on the white china.
