RERAMIC STUDIO 
FRUIT PLATE— MABEL G DIBBLE 
OLATE H", coup. Divide into fifths. Make the four 
* circles and edge gold, outline the design in Black and 
fire. Next, tint the two bands in Satsuma tone, using 
Brown 4 or 17, Dark Blue,, Silver Yellow — all La Croix 
colors — and a little Brunswick Black, Dresden. Carefully 
remove all trace of color from gold lines, retouching these 
where necessary; also take color from design. Flowers are 
of mixed enamel, two-thirds Aufsetzweis, one-third Hancock's 
Hard White Enamel, slightly colored with Chinese Yellow 
and Brunswick Black, until it is a dull cream color. When 
enamel is thoroughly dry, wash over the outer edge of petals, 
a dull red, Deep Red Brown and Yellow Ochre mixed. Use 
this on the flower at left side; for the one at right wash the 
petals with Brown No. 4 or 17 quite lightly. For leaves 
marked with a cross, make an enamel of Apple Green, half 
as much Yellow for mixing, and add Brown Green No. 6 — 
all La Croix colors — until a dull dark green, then add one- 
fourth as much Aufsetzweis as you have of the paint. When 
dry, shade at base of leaves with Brown No. 4 or 17. In 
washing in these shadings over enamel, use only turpentine 
to grind the paint; take very little on brush and have it 
thin. Use a square shader. For remaining leaves use 
Brown No. 4 or 17, Yellow Ochre and Brown Green 6. 
Shade with self mixture and keep leaves light; calyx of 
flowers, very dark brown — Brown No. 4 or 1 7 and Brunswick 
Black. 
The three burr-shaped fruits of the medlar tree in 
each group must be brown also, but not so dark as the calyx 
of the flower; use Brown 4 or 17 alone. The lines of the 
stamens are brown, but the little round tip is filled in with 
Brown 4 or 17, and Deep Red Brown mixed. Dots in white 
band, gold.
