desirable in a plate design, as one's digestion would perhaps 
be better if not disturbed by this dizzy whirl. It will be found 
that all motifs drawn diagonally on a plate give something of 
this feeling and should therefore be avoided. 
The design also is almost too elaborate for table use. It 
can be simplified by omitting the pebble effect and using a 
tinted ground with a white outline about the sea horse. 
The original intention was to carry out the design in 
green gold with yellow gold pebbles on a yellow brown lustre 
or light green lustre ground, outlining in black or red. 
VASE WITH VIOLET DECORATION-HENRIETTA BARCLAY PAIST 
THE color scheme for this little vase may be yellow and 
green on background, with the plant in the true colors. 
Paint the violets with a mixture of Ruby Purple and Dark 
Blue, or Fry's Violet. Use Brown Green and Dark Green for 
the leaves, glazing with Moss Green J in the second fire; the 
stems are always a light green. Paint the background with 
Albert Yellow, shading into Yellow Brown, then to White 
Rose or Olive Green, and so into Brown Green and Dark 
Green. To blend the Albert Yellow and Yellow Brown, glaze 
for the second fire with Orange Yellow Lacroix where the two 
meet, making a gradual deepening of yellow into the green of 
the background. A pretty treatment of this vase would be 
in tones of Copenhagen Blue, modeling according to the study 
given in black and white.
