KERAMIC STUDIO 
TREATMENT FOR LILACS AND WILD ROSES* 
Mariam L. Candler 
THE combination of the Lilac and Wild Rose design is 
very decorative, and may be applied to chop platters, 
pitchers, etc. 
The Lilacs require careful modeling to bring the desired 
effects. After sketching in the design, wash the Lilacs over 
with a rich color made of Violet No. 2, with a little Deep 
Blue Green added. Then with a brush take out the shapes 
of the single flower. Model with a light wash of this lavender 
shade, putting a small dot of Silver Yellow on the center. 
The buds are in soft green shades fading away into the 
background. 
For the second firing, retouch and strengthen them with 
the same color, putting on a little White Enamel on the 
most prominent flowers. 
The leaves are laid in with Apple Green, Moss Green and 
Dark Green, retouch in second fire with Shading Green. The 
darker leaves are laid in with Dark Green, Brown Green and 
Yellow Brown. 
For the Rose, first wash in the centers with Silver Yel- 
low, rounding with Orange Red and a touch of Moss Green in 
center. For the stamens use Yellow Brown and Finishing 
Brown. For the light roses, wash in the petals with a very deli- 
cate shade of Peach Blossom, using Copenhagen Grey for 
shadows, and use a little Roman Purple in with the Peach 
Blossom for the darker roses. 
The leaves are of Moss Green and Russian Green, re- 
touched with Brown Green and Shading Green. 
In flushing in the background, use Yellow Brown and 
Ivory near the lilacs, blending into the soft green shades of 
Apple Green and Moss Green. 
If desired the background can be strengthened by dust- 
ing with the same color with which it was laid in, also using 
Ivory glaze.
