BOWL IN ROSES 
r I A HIS nine inch bowl is done in pink and grey with bands of 
-■- black. The solid tone below band should be applied 
first, padding on grounding oil very evenly and then dusting 
on very carefully Matt Grey. It is much safer to fire these 
before painting in the roses. Use Rose, Ruby Purple and any 
ordinary greens in the design with baskets in a mahogany 
tone made with Pompeian Red and Chestnut Brown. The 
upper roses should be kept very delicate, shading into the 
much darker, richer colors below. For the latter tone use 
about | as much Ruby Purple as Rose. The lighter tone in 
the band is Ivory Yellow, the darker a very thin tone of Stewart's 
Grey. The circular design is placed in the bottom of inside 
of bowl and the rest of surface tinted Ivory Yellow. This 
design could be carried out equally well in yellows and browns. 
TOLEDO ART NOTES 
Women of Toledo interested in keramic and craft work 
are associated with the painters in the Athens Society, with 
Mrs. Josephine 0. Cajder as president. Regular meetings 
and occasional exhibitions are held. The society aims to keep 
before the public, well designed and executed work showing 
that even in small and inexpensive articles a standard may be 
maintained. 
During the last exhibition of Toledo Artists at Hotel 
Secor, the club contributed a most creditable and varied dis- 
play of which a few pieces may be mentioned. Mrs. Spencer's 
large vase of Oriental design showed strength and fine tech- 
nique as did her pieces in enamel. A large pitcher of Miss 
Caine's in steel blue lustre with a design in gold was much 
admired, the same artist showing a tea set in black and 
gold on a white ground. In Miss Esther Brinkerhoff's display 
was a Satsuma desk lamp of Adams design executed in relief 
with yellow bronze and red gold, also an enameled bonbon box 
with a nosegay of bright flowers on a black ground. Miss 
Kitchen showed a striking bowl in black, white and silver and 
in her pottery a vase modeled from native clay which had taken 
a fine majolica glaze. A note of color was contributed by Mrs. 
Latham in her pottery and some bowls of brilliant lustre. 
The jury comprised of Geo. Elmer Brown, Chester C. 
Hayes and Clyde Burroughs spoke in high terms of praise of 
the keramic work.

COLONIAL MOTIF (Page 152) 
(Suggested by an old Sampler) 
BELLEEK is the most effective for this style with enamels. 
If other china is used, tint the entire surface a cream, as 
nearly the color of Belleek as possible. Lightest value, a very 
light Old Blue. Light value, a light tone of Old Blue. Dark 
value, Old Pink, Orange, a bright Green, or a medium Old Blue. 
Darkest value, a dark Old Blue. In the border, leave the 
background around the inner design the untinted Belleek to 
secure a more delicate effect. To secure a clear cut cross stitch 
effect, make as careful a drawing as possible, put all of one 
color in before starting the next, and clean the edges with a 
penknife. This is not attractive unless the separate squares 
are sharply defined. Suitable for table china, but too delicate 
in style for decorative pieces.
