The types of pieces produced included fruit bowls, jugs, plates, lemonade sets and table lamps, but vases - made in numerous shapes and sizes - comprised most of the range, and it is the pre-War examples of these that are the most coveted by collectors. Their desirability primarily resides in their distinctive, variegated colouring. This was in-part achieved by rolling or dabbing, and then manipulating fine-quality French or German enamel colours (post-War enamels were significantly paler) into the partially blown glass vessel before fully blowing and, usually, encasing in a layer of clear glass. Favoured enamel colours included green, blue, pink, orange, red, yellow and black.
