COLOURED GLASS

NEWEST DESIGNS

Appointments for the lunch and dinner table, bridge party tea tables, and cocktail parties demand attention (states a correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph"). There is freshness and novelty in many of the new designs that is most attractive. ' A vogue for, soft colouring in glass and china table decoration persists. In porcelain .the foundation glazes are seen in various tones of harmonious grey blues, honey colour, and cream; while the patterns, whether they be modernist or natural flower designs, are usually in pastel tones. Platinum, gold, silver, or black is also used sparingly in geometric lines as a decoration. , . . Polka dot patterns in glass and table ware are noticeable among the newest designs. In glass sets the dots may be in colour, gold, or silver, or an opaque white on clear white glass. In some polka dot designs the colours are mixed in harlequin fashions, which has a gay effect. Lemonade sets, cocktail glasses, and tumblers are shown in this type of.glass. Another lovely new glass is in the fashionable smoke colour with a plaY inurh foliage design. A raised matt gold is being used for some of the latest, white glass decoration. The gold is used on the base of the glass with a clear white crystal top. in other gold and white glass fine gold or silver horizontal lines make an artistic decoration. ( All these designs made in sets of match* ir>g cocktail glasses, wine glasses, lemonade tumblers, and so on with their accompanying jugs and decanter?
