KERAMC STUDIO 
A TIFFANY LAMP 
Mira Edson 
SOME charming combinations of glass and metal, artistic in 
color and design, are to be seen at the Tiffany studio. 
The work is full of suggestions to the decorator. The lamp 
here shown is of a dull green, opaque glass. It rests on a base 
of lily pads in dull bronze. The shade is of metal and glass, 
the design outlined by the metal, while the glass fills the 
spaces between. Around the lower part of the shade are 
dragon flies with crimson eyes, gossamer wings outstretched, 
and purple-dark bodies. Rich glass effects in green and red 
above, represent the marsh grass and flowers over which the 
insect flies. 
The effect of the whole is of soft green lighted up decor- 
atively by spots of red— the crimson eye-spots — reflected 
above in the softer yellower red of the flowers, amid lighter 
yellower greens than those below. 
TREATMENT OF PLATE DESIGN 
Anna B. Leonard 
TINT the narrow band on the rim, and the band under the 
shoulder of the plate, turquoise blue — a color composed 
of Night Green two-thirds and Deep Blue Green one-third 
(Lacroix colors). To this mixture add one-sixth flux. The 
turquoise bands are edged with paste dots as indicated in the 
design, there being one jewel setting between the panels. 
The narrow bands coming from the outer edge to the 
shoulder are edged with paste dots forming a beading; be- 
tween these two parallel lines of dots is a line of turquoise 
blue enamel dots, made by coloring the white enamel with 
little (very little) Night Green and Deep Blue Green (add 
more Night Green than is necessary for a tone of turquoise 
tinting, as the green tints fire out). 
The garlands of roses in the larger panels are in color, 
while the roses in the smaller panels are modeled in raised 
paste. 
This design may be treated in various ways. The smaller 
panels may be gold, with the roses inlaid in color. Any color 
may be used in the bands that will harmonize with the roses. 
Or the design may be carried out entirely in raised gold and 
enamels. 
This design is given as a suggestion and may be made 
simple or elaborate, built upon the same lines. It is very 
dainty as given in the directions and makes a charming entree 
plate, or if carried out in green and gold it may be used as a 
salad plate. It will be helpful to beginners.
