KERAMIC STUDIO 
FRUIT PLATE— APPLE MOTIF 
D LUES and greens as described on page 63 may be used, 
*-* or design carried out in gold and white, or matt silver and 
white. If gold or silver is used, the under running border 
leaf may be painted in black. If a worker wishes to apply 
this motif to a cider jug or stein, a happy effect may be 
produced by laying the apple in flatly, with a strong tone of 
Carnation — the leaves with Dark Green, but strong enough 
only, to make a dull grey, and dry dust with Brown Green. 
Dry dust apples with Carnation, paint in stems with a mixed 
color of Brown Green and Blood Red, ground lay the body 
of jug with Empire Green. In the second painting, glaze 
the entire border with Vance Phillips' Warm Grey. 
The third working is for outlines only, if they should 
be desired at all, and if used, make a firm bold carrying 
line using Finishing Brown. 
After all parts of body and design are perfect and 
fired, envelop the entire surface with a wash of 
Finishing Brown, pounced evenly and firmly. A color 
may be pounced and left even, but if too full yet of oil, 
a coarse looking surface will be the result. A fifth firing 
may be necessary — it quite depending upon the success 
of various workings and firings.
