CHINA PAINTING.

PAINTING ON| China, Porcelain, Earthenware & Enamel.

Colors Used, and the Process of Burning them in.

At the present time this art is receiving a great deal of attention among the American people, and especially the intelligent class, who are taking every opportunity of informing themselves in regard to the plan of moulding the various ornaments for use, the art of decorating them, the particular kinds of paints used, and the operation through which they pass in the burning in of the colors. It would be useless for me to attempt a book on art that would meet the wants of the people, and omit China Painting, which is gaining universal favor among the higher classes in eastern cities.

The art is applied directly to the ornamentation of the house, which makes it much sought after by ladies, who take pride in ornamenting their china and earthenware by the use of the La Croix Enamel Colors, which are arranged especially for this kind of painting.
