DESCRIPTIONS:

GOLDEN WHEAT Slender spears of wheat bending in the wind, shaded from golden
to deep brown, make this a pattern for creating unusual table arrangements. Use
bright flowers and gay place mats or select the brown tones to blend perfectly with
Golden Wheat... your table will be a mirror of your originality both winter and
summer. The pattern and narrow brown lines are applied over the glaze.

TARANTELLA Tarantella, designed by Virginia Hamill, has a dash of good humor,
fresh color as lively as the spirited fold dance for which it is named. The radiant
yellow of the border fused softly into the creamy ivory-white of the center. Perky
center design of stylized flowers looks hand painted and is done in bright, clear red,
yellow, blue and green.

STRAWBERRY Ripe red strawberries make saucy splashes of color on matching Straw-
berry dinnerware and glassware. Unique shapes popular for buffet service. Gay red
berries applied over snow white ground.
