Blended

Though sometimes called majolica, that name does not really capture the frequent linear and swirling themes of the Blended line, introduced in the early 1900s. The colors, however, are similar to majolica hues, and were applied to jardinières, pedestals, and sand and umbrella holders. Pieces are often unmarked or occasionally have incised marks.
