Keramic studio
Keramic Studio is a 1899 periodical from Syracuse, New York, published by the Keramic Studio Publishing Company for china painters and potters. Its pages carry plate designs, decorative motifs and pottery patterns by named contributors such as Anna B. Leonard. The pictures are black-and-white line drawings: a symmetrical plate border of interlaced scrolls and stylised leaves, a fish-set motif of shells and seahorses, and a tea tray design of masturtiums drawn with loose hatching. A designer could take from them the tight repeat structure of plate borders and the way botanical sprays fill a curved surface.
