RERAMIC STUDIO 
WILD ROSE VASE— MABEL C DIBBLE 
jyi ANY of these Japanese prints are 
■*•"*■ effective when adapted to vases that 
are Japanese in shape. Outline in black. 
The large rose and a few of the buds in 
white enamel, just the mixed enamel floated 
in smoothly. When dry, wash in yellow for 
mixing under the stamens, and shade petals 
with a soft grey of Chinese Yellow and 
Brunswick. All flowers can be in white, or 
make the half flowers in soft dull blue. 
Branches in greyish brown, using Yellow 
Ochre, Brown No. 4 or 17, and Brunswick 
Black; calyx to buds the same only lighter. 
In making the two tones of green, see that 
there is great contrast, which adds much to 
the effectiveness. Keep the light leaves 
very light, Apple Green, Grey for Flowers 
(Sartorius) and yellow for mixing, quite a 
yellowish green; add one-fourth Aufsetzweis. 
For the darker leaves use Apple Green, Grey 
for Flowers, a little Chrome Green B, and a 
larger quantity of Brunswick Black, with 
one-fourth Aufsetzweis. Bands at base can 
be in two shades of green or black and green. 
The entire vase can be tinted in soft grey, 
or when finished and fired the second time 
cover all, vase and enamels, with thin wash 
of Ivory Lustre, and fire lightly.
