This involved carving fine lines into the dark textured background. The designs were then hand-painted with coloured overglazes. Common themes featured birds, fish, flowers and butterflies.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pottery closed after Tilgmann's death in 1974. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions: 14 3\/4 inches.
