His name was Joseph T. Baines, he said, and he was Eng- | lish. Sherratt was busy and he needed a likely young man to help him. Baines stayed. He learned to paint the expensive vases and plates and china pieces the shop specialized in. Sherratt taught his apprentice what he knew, then died. Today, at 53, Baines is the only| | professional hand-painter of china in | Washington of note.

He can tell by its tone whether the plate is from a firm in America, Czecho- slovakia, Bavaria, China, England or France. handles with gay festoons of flowers held by rococo cherubs. With right arm resting on a narrow board which juts from the table, Baines drops the brush to a vertical position on the plate. If the plate is properly centered and the hand is steady the spinning motion produces the rim lines which will aid in mark- ing out the location for whatever design is intended to go on the blank white surface. All the china shipped in to Sherratt's from various parts of the world is blank white, of course, marked only on the bottom with the name or symbol of the manufacturing firm. Now comes the work of painting the decorative fresco on the plate. It may be an original or a copled design. If original, then the genius of Baines is stirred, and he strives for color and creative design. He is at his best among fruit and floral combirations, and has developed a rose pattern for which he is best known. If the job to be done is & special one, requiring haste, Baines says then he does his best work. “I work fast to get the best effects,” he explains. “It is then all in the thickness of the brush.

His latest efforts have been at the Aid Association for the Blind, teaching them how to fire pottery in their kilns. SENTENCE POSTPONED Poderjay Will Learn Fate on Big- amy Charge Thursday.
