CUP AND SAUCER

FIRST FIRE.— Draw in design with Light Red water color 
(which does not fire out), being careful to erase every 
mark which is not wanted. Tint center of saucer and lower 
part of cup with Apple Green, to which a little Jonquil Yellow 
has been added. As a background for roses use Yellow Ochre 
padded on lightly. Paint in roses with Ruby Purple, leaves 
of Moss Green J, Brown Green, Dark Green, Yellow Brown, 
and touches of Ruby. Put golden bands on handle, and bor- 
der inside of cup. For the ruby jewels below roses, put a dot 
of paste ; when this is set, cover it with Aufsetzweis, colored 
with Ruby Purple. Then fire. 
Second FIRE.— The dark portion of saucer and cup is 
Maroon dusted on. Finish roses a deep red with Ruby Pur 
pie. Put on paste. Cover with gold. Put more Ruby enamel 
over the first and when dry, paint it on the surface with 
Maroon. Dots edging maroon are green made with Aufsetz- 
weis, Jonquil Yellow and Apple Green. Fire moderately hard 
both times.
