I1ERAMIC STUDIO 
DESIGN FOR SMALL PITCHER 
Mable C. Dibble 
SKETCH in four panels in India ink, then put on a thin wash 
of blue, the same mixture as for enamels, only leave out 
the Aufsetzweiss — use a little tinting oil — lay it as smoothly 
as possible, not padding. When dry, outline the panels with 
two lines of red, Capucine Red two-thirds, Deep Red Brown 
one-third, also the border at top and design in center of panel. 
If handle is to be blue, put wash of the dark blue on for first 
fire, or gold, if gold handle is preferred. For second fire tint 
the panels light blue, Deep Blue Green with little Apple 
Green, and touch of Brunswick Black. The bands at top and 
base, and forming panels, fill in with gold, also the oblong 
surrounding the center flower. The flower itself is of pink 
and turquoise enamels, alternating, the four small flowers at 
top and base light blue, the other small flowers pink, the dark 
spaces dark blue enamel. 
The design at top of pitcher can be either dark and light 
blue enamel, or dark blue and gold. 
The first step after the first fire should be to go over the 
blue background with the same color, Dark Blue, Deep 
Purple and Brunswick Black, adding one-eighth Aufsetzweiss, 
thin with turpentine and float the color on.
