A VENETIAN GARDEN FROM MY LADY'S BALCONY 
TINT entire vase with Satsuma color, pad out rather light

into five sections, as the parrot is repeated five times. 
The balcony is made of Grey Violet enamel. The pink 
part of parrot is Pale Pink enamel. The white part is Wareno 
White enamel. The black bill, eyes and claw are made of 
Brilliant Black enamel. 
The dark green of stems and leaves is Green No. 2 enamel. 
The light green is Green No. 1 enamel. The light pink flowers 
are made of Pale Pink enamel, and the dark pink flowers 
are made of Italian Pink enamel. The red violet flowers are 
made of Mauvine enamel. The grey leaves and part of the 
background are Grey Violet enamel. The yellow flowers are 
made of Light Yellow enamel. The bell shaped flowers, have 
Manchu Blue enamel ends. The round flowers are made of 
Old Yellow and Light Yellow enamels. 
The enamels should be put on quite low for the first fire 
to produce a soft effect, especially in the background.
