Keramic Supply Co. (Indianapolis, Ind.) · 1914 · Keramic Supply Co., Indianapolis, Ind. · 9 pictures

A 1914 trade catalogue issued by the Keramic Supply Co. of Indianapolis to sell overglaze colors to amateur and professional china painters. The plates are grids of printed swatches on cream grounds, each rectangle captioned with its pigment name — verdigris, robin's-egg blue, capucine red — giving designers a muted period palette with ready-made color nomenclature and a simple chart layout.
