This range was introduced briefly
in 1961 and is very rare. The decoration was spirals of ceramic on dishes
and streaks of ceramic on vases. The ceramic did not easily take to the
blue or red glass to which it was applied, causing the range to be
withdrawn after only a short time in production. c1 |
