RERAMIC STUDIO 
CONVENTIONAL PLATE, WILD CARROT MOTIF-M. M. MASON 
FIRST tint or ground-lay the plate all over with either Neu- 
tral Yellow or Copenhagen Grey, and give a strong fire. 
The design is then applied as an enamel over the tint. If 
the Copenhagen Grey tone is used, the enamel is made by 
using three parts Royal Blue and one part Azure Glaze, with 
the addition of a touch of Albert Yellow. Mix it rather dry 
with Painting Medium and thin and float it in with Enamel 
Medium. A slight vibration of color is quite desirable in this 
kind of design. 
If the Neutral Yellow, which is particularly effective, is 
used as a tone, the Yellow may be omitted in the enamel and 
possibly a little Black added to deepen the blue. 
When the enamel is used over a dusted or groundlaid tone 
the firing should be lighter than when used over a tinted one.
