Here you see a stripping thats not unusual there's a lot of stripping patterns that you find out there unusually this is a mustard and green pattern you'll see in blue, you'll see it in variations of pink and red. This color red that you see in this picture and here is another example of white inside with copper luster on the rim. So this is a pretty common pattern here we go again with another picture with the cobalt blue you can see the design here in cobalt with a lot of the filigree. But if you look over here and you want to compare the designs will vary here you see a copper picture with a design on top part of the picture. And here you see the copper luster with a picture on the bottom so you'll find a varying different bins and different places on the pictures that's a nice example. If you look on the inside you'll see that pretty common white interior with a copper luster around the narrow bin of the picture. So there's a few examples and down on the second shelf we'll show you some more examples here. This is another picture copper luster with some of that varying green and white with a little bit of pink on it and here if you look again on the inside you'll see the same type of small amount of copper luster. You can see here on the inside is that same white copper white stone base to the pot is white. So its pretty common theme throughout all these pitchers that you see this inside unglazed white interior that's something to look for. This is another later pot this is by Saddler this is a copper luster with white a very late pot that you see very common design you can find it in silver luster too. Which instead of seeing this copper here you'll see silver and white a much later pot. Here is just another example of the blue again another variation to show you, and here we have another variation on the flowerer design. And this is with a pink and green and the luster and here is the common inside with a clear white porcelain on the inside with not a lot of copper only on the top rim and the outside. So this is a later pot also there is a sampling of the different colors and many more this is just a small sampling of what you find out there in copper luster.
