KERAMIC STUDIO 
PLATE BY MISS VILAS (PAGE 1 90) 
Application This is a simple adaptation of a vase 
to Modern design in modern cloisonne. The ground 
, is a soft violet grey, the birds in white and 
^ black outlined with gold. 
DRAGON VASE BY MRS. ROBINEAU 
This is a decoration in the older style. These Dragons 
make also an effective punch bowl or tankard design. Draw 
the large forms carefully in India ink, cover the top with Blue 
Grey lustre and shade the sky with the same, leaving 
the moon white ; beginning with the mountains, put on 
Light Green lustre, blending into dark green, into steel 
blue, padding lightly with a silk pad where the colors meet. 
Fire, then draw the design carefully; go over lustres again 
where necessary, put in stems of plum blossoms with Red 
Bronze, raising one edge with paste for gold ; model the 
dragons in paste and using red Bohemian glass jewels 
press them into a large dot of paste for the eyes, (they may 
crackle slightly in firing, but that will do no harm). Paint 
centers of flowers with Green lustre, shading when dry with 
Yellow Brown and Red Brown. Model the flowers with Auf- 
setzweis with }& Flux ; make three shades of pink by mixing 
Carmine 2 with the enamel; these shades with white will 
make sufficient variety in modelling the flowers. Use Jonquil 
Yellow with Aufsetzweis for the stamens. For the last fire, 
retouch where ever needed ; cover Dragons with Gold, using 
several shades; mix about }i Silver with Gold for the under 
part of Dragons. 
BIRD VASE BY MRS. ROBINEAU 
This design is suggested by the Japanese, but differs in 
treatment though not in feeling. The birds should be painted 
more broadly than the pen and ink drawing would indicate. 
The design would look well worked out in a monochrome of 
dull blues, like the Copenhagen or Delft. The clouds should 
be a light bluish grey with occasional streaks taken out 
lighter to give the feeling of driving wind.
