Gingerbread is a style of pottery developed by Stangl's Rose Herbeck. This style of pottery was made by taking Stangl's plain unglazed red clay body and applying colored slip (basically very "runny" colored clay) to the surface with a syringe to give the surface a raised pattern. The bright colored slip applied to the plain red body made the pieces look like "gingerbread", hence the name. Floral designs are by far the most common. Less common (and more sought after) are the bird, horse, and village type decorations. Plates are the most common item, though cups, bowls, mugs, ashtrays, candlesticks, etc.. can occasionally be found. Most pieces were made with only one or two colors of slip (typically white and blue) though pieces with three and four colors can be found.
