PERSIAN DESIGN FOR TOP OF INKSTAND 
THE top should be gold, with the design in color. The 
lower part of the inkstand should be a dark rich green, 
with only a band of gold at the top. After drawing on the 
design, follow it with raised paste, making a line as fine and 
as even as possible. The darkest parts of the design should 
be painted in a very dark blue (dark blue, a touch of deep 
blue green, and ruby purple). The spaces left white are to be 
filled in with white enamel: Fill the little round settings 
with turquoise blue enamel, to represent jewels. The three 
loops within the heart-shaped ornament are to be filled with 
light green enamel. The spaces covered with dots are to be 
tinted with apple green and dotted with moss green. The 
extreme edge of this top has a beading of paste dots. 
This design makes a charming library set, the tray, letter 
weight, etc., to be decorated in a similar manner as the ink- 
stand.
