Description

Creamy white to pale peach or buff paste with little visible temper. Cream to off-white, glossy background enamel, often with light crazing. Decorations are painted in one or two shades of cobalt blue. Designs are inspired by English refined earthenware patterns, emphasizing rim decoration. Molded vessel bodies are common, often resulting in fluted or scalloped rims.
