Description

Creamy white to pale peach or buff paste with little visible temper. Cream to off-white, glossy background enamel, often with light crazing. The exterior surfaces of vessels are covered with a thin, chocolate-brown slip, which can be slightly swirled to produce a light, brown and white marbled effect. Only ring-footed cup forms have been reported so far.
