I thought it convenient to make the paste of a rose colour,
that the gums might have their proper colour.
The only precaution which one must take after the piece
is moulded, is, to keep back a little of the paste, having the
number of the enamel which we wish to employ, and to
lightly mark the teeth by means of a pencil. This coat, once
dried, is enamelled in the way we spoke of in paragraph 18
of this section.
Enamel No. 27.
Used for enamelling the parts of pieces with which the
gums are figured.

* This earth, called d'encollage, is to be had from the manufacturers of
porcelain; it incorporates itself into the pastes which they make use ofto
execute the most difficult flowers, without which would break their extreme
delicacy. This earth is nothing more than Kaolin mix.ed with a little gum
Arabic.
