A pale green mat-glaze (see Chapter V.) makes a charming finish for this piece.

Rose-Bowl with Moth Design

Materials required:

About 5 pounds of clay,

A rolling-pin,

The oval sheet-steel tools,

The pointed-steel tool,

The steel tool with a flat end,

A plaster tile.

This rose-bowl, which is shown in the plate, was built up without a pasteboard outline. If one’s eye is reasonably true this is not a difficult matter, but otherwise the outline process (see Chapter II.) may be followed.
