DESIGN FOR PUNCH BOWL— SUPPLEMENT IN COLORS -FRANCES J. BUTLER 
FIRST draw the design carefully in India ink, dust the 
grounds, not too heavily, relying rather on two fires for 
sufficient depth of color, clean out the design and fire. For 
the second fire, if necessary, deepen the ground color. Wash 
in the design in flat enamel for the green, and flat color for 
the yellow, leaving white lines for the gold, which can also be 
put in for the second fire. An expert might execute the en- 
tire bowl in one fire, but it will generally be found best to 
have two or three fires to make everything right. The green 
should be composed of Royal Green, a bit of Brown Green, 
and \ enamel, of which y& is flux. The yellow should be 
Yellow Ochre with a touch of Pompadour and Black. The 
ground may be a darker blue or dark green, black or dull 
red, or if the coloring of the design is changed, the ground 
may be made of ochre and the ornament of blue, red or violet. 
Many other pleasing combinations of color will suggest 
themselves.
