ROYAL COPENHAGEN PORCELAIN In 1931 the first model to be reproduced in a limited number came from the ROYAL COPENHAGEN PORCELAIN FACTORY. It was the work of the artist, A. MALINOWSKI, and the material chosen was the new BLANC DE CHINE, a recent addition to the many technical successes of this well-known Factory. The fifty numbered and signed specimens of "THE BRIDE" were sold out within twelve months. One model was purchased by the Victoria and Albert Museum, and one by the Art Gallery in Stoke-on-Trent. Now the second model, also limited to fifty copies, each numbered and accompanied by a signed certificate, has just arrived from Copenhagen. It is again the work of MALINOWSKI, and, as will be seen from the illustration, is a companion to "THE BRIDE."

VIII --- MAROGER oil painting MEDIUM (Soft or Stiff) THE NEWEST METHOD HAS COME TO HELP YOU TO ACHIEVE EVEN BETTER RESULTS MAROGER MEDIUM possesses a pleasing “Fixity” of touch which allows for continuous modelling on paint recently applied, and effectively prevents new touches from being sullied with the colour previously applied. Ordinary oily medium will not allow of this. Your first application of MAROGER MEDIUM will come as a new and pleasurable experience, as you see the additional charm and brilliance it imparts to your work. MAROGER MEDIUM gives a lasting brilliance, similar to good varnish, and an unctuosity which allows working for several hours. Prices: 1/- per Studio Tube. Post free (U.K.), 1/3 2/- per ½-lb.
