CUNARD


		Mfg.: Geo. Clews & Co., Ltd. Pattern name: unknown Item illustrated: 3¾" "Cube" teapot Item date: undated Circa: 1930's - 1950's Steamship company backstamp: no*

Pattern description: This probably should be classified more as a glaze treatment than as a pattern, but certainly needs to be documented! A cream colored under-glaze with an over-glaze (apparently known as a "luster" in the ceramics world, though there is nothing particularly lustrous about this example) of a thin, coffee color. This, dependent upon the item, can have either a "dripping" effect, or merely a mottled appearance, and varies in degree of darkness.
Pattern notes: Some examples of this pattern variation are almost impossible to distinguish from the plain cream-colored "Cube's"; but it seems this double glaze treatment was much less prone to crazing than that found on the plain examples, which can be a distinguishing factor.
