The stylized patterns made by this company are highly collectible and easily recognizable. Their hand painted designs and production process earned them the designation of being pioneers in this style of pottery. Although they named their patterns, most of their pieces were identified by shape rather then pattern. There is no crazing on the outside, a little crazing and stainage on the bottom inside. No cracks or chips, very good vintage condition.
