Cream to buff/tan paste, usually with light sand tempering, but heavy sand tempering can occur. Off-white background enamel with orange, yellow, green, and black/dark brown decorations. Designs typically include thin black bands and wide yellow or orange bands bordered by black. Motifs painted between the bands consist of orange floral or lemon-shaped elements with black detailing, and green dots and foliate elements.
