Likely also made with a printed outline, Richards the only company to use the technique of printed outline with painted with brilliant 'majolica' lead-glaze colours in the 20th century, Marsden did a few in the 19th century and there are some by Wedgwood too which were likely made for them by Marsden. Tubeline would have been rather more expensive in the day but the printed outline have their own appeal perhaps because of the uniqueness. The art nouveau designs in the technique certainly have a different sense of style to tubeline, it is unforunate that they are so rare.
