fancy Dutch marble
A modification of the WAVE MARBLE ,
consisting of red, black, and any one of a variety
of shades of blue. The red is dropped on first,
followed by the black in the same proportion but
somewhat thicker, and with more ox gall so that it
spreads and produces larger spots. The blue is
made still thicker so that with still more gall it
spreads even more than the black. The surface is
finished with more gall and water, which must be
spread more than any of the colors. The surface of
the size is then raked as for the "wave," and the
design is finished with a double comb. (159 )
