I mitation Barbotine china is done with good effect bymeans of modeling wax, which can be hadin dark red or lighter colors. The flowersare usually done on the plate itself, asquickly as possible, the wax adhering per-fectly if the plate is slightly heated. Whendry they can be painted. The red wax lookswell on terra-cotta plates of the wax, workedseparately, and the flowers put on the plateafterwards. The plate and adhesive waxmust be slightly warmed. Plaques thus or-namented and mounted in velvet frames looklike the real French china models that theyare copies of. Mks. 220 STRAV^^BRIDGE & CLOTHIERS
