| - Scale ornament. A beautiful decorative effect produced by over- lapping scales after the manner of ridge-tile work. It was copied firom the vases of Nola. Wedgwood used the scale ornament as an encircling wreath for vases, plinths, and other fine pieces. In cases where the con- vex of each scale is more pointed than curved, it is often difficult to dis- tinguish between the scale and the olive leaf or laurel leaf ornament. Scales are almost always used as an encircling wreath, never like leaves as a festoon. It is to be seen also on the dome-shaped covers of some fine jasper jars.
