It the begining of XIX. century the glazed decoration increased with a new technical solving: the autlines of motifs were set off by etching. The next style is the group of green glazed, embossed vessels. This style on the ornamental vessels was known all over the country. This is also showed by the decoration of material of the exhibition wich consists largely of so-called Lord's Table winepots and tradevessels. In the middle of XIX. century the etching appeares on the surface of green glazed vessels. By at present known material the red-brown glazed vessels belong to the latest group. From this group remained the most large-sized vessels being trade masterpiece without exception which is verified by signet F. C. stamped on vessels under the handles.
