VASE, CARNATION DECORATION (SUPPLEMENT) -EDITH A. ROSS 
DRAW the design carefully in black powder color mixed 
with a thin syrup of sugar and water ; when this is dry, 
tint the body of the vase with Ivory Lustre; use Black Lustre 
for top of vase, Light Green Lustre for stems and leaves, 
Ruby Lustre for carnations and put on the first wash of gold 
on design in background. For the second fire go over the 
black lustre and the gold and use orange lustre over the ruby. 
This design can be made very effective in blue and green 
on a white ground using a Copenhagen blue dark for the top, 
a grey blue for flowers with a grey green for leaves or a pur- 
plish blue for flowers and a royal green for leaves and stems. 
Other treatments can be found quite as attractive.
