RERAMIC STUDIO 
BORDER— HIGH BUSH CRANBERRIES 
BORDER— HIGH BUSH CRANBERRIES 
HpHB design is intended for a stein, and the treatment 
* is the same as^that given for the mountain ash suggested 
for^bowl or vase. It may also be carried in lustres, Orange 
Yellow for the berries, Dark Green for leaves and stems, 
and Yellow for background. 
GRAPE DESIGN (Page 197) Naturalistic Treatment 
'T'HIS decoration illustrates the suggestion already made 
* of a conventional arrangement carried out with a 
naturalistic treatment. The decoration repeats three 
times on the tankard, and may be carried out in any of the 
natural colors. The values given in the cut would suggest 
the Tokay grape, the colors for these being Moss Green, 
Olive Green, Deep Red Brown and Violet of Iron, a 
thin wash of Copenhagen Blue being laid on the upper 
left hand portion next to* the high lights. This suggests the 
bloom of the fruit. The stems are carried out in Yellow 
Brown, and Shading Brown, the leaves as usual in Olive, 
Moss and Dark Green. The reverse side of the lower 
leaf where seen, is first modeled with Copenhagen Blue 
glazed with Moss Green in second painting. The choice 
of background is between Grey Green, Vandyke Brown 
or Ivory, or it may be shaded, beginning at the top with 
Olive Green, and running into Brown Green, and Dark 
Green at the base. 
PANEL OF GRAPES (Page 206) 
f\NE pleasing color scheme for this panel is in Purple, 
^^ Yellow and Green. Tint the panel with Ivory Yellow 
to which has been added one-fourth Demon Yellow, clean 
out the grapes and leaves, lay in the grapes and with a 
flat wash of Purple made by mixing one-half Da Croix, 
Violet of Gold (or any Violet preferred), one-fourth Dark 
Blue, one-fourth Black, lay in leaves with Grey Green, 
.stems, not too dark, with Dark Brown to which a little 
Black has been added to grey it. After firing, strengthen 
the design with the same colors keeping the washes flat 
with the exceptions of the stems which are accented with 
the original color. Outline the leaves with Dark Green. 
Another suggestion for this panel would be a monochrome, 
using grey green background, pale green grapes and 
darker grey green leaves. 
GRAPES IN TRIANGLE 
IN the original design the unit was large enough to re- 
* peat five times on a fourteen inch punch bowl. The 
present size is adaptable to the cups. A suggestion for 
its treatment is as follows: 
The triangular enclosure would be better omitted, 
as the unit itself is suggestive of that form. Tint the 
bowl with Ivory, clean out the grapes and leaves, and 
dry thoroughly. The leaves may be laid in with Olive 
Green, the stems with Black and the grapes with Green 
Gold, the veins of the leaves and the tendrils cleaned 
out and filled with Green Gold. The same treatment is 
repeated for the second painting, care being taken to have 
the edges everywhere clear and sharp. 
The leaves and tendrils may be outlined with "Dark 
Green, but the grapes are most pleasing with only the 
path made by the background. This design may also be 
carried out in two shades of Gold, using Green Gold for 
the leaves, tendrils and stems, veining the latter with Dark 
Green, and the Grapes laid in with Roman Gold. In this 
case the entire design would be outlined with. Black, leav- 
ing this to the last firing. If the gold scheme is used a 
still richer effect is secured by tinting the entire bowl 
with Dark Green Lustre for a third firing.
