| Multicolor was introduced in 1928. It was made by applying up to
four different glazes (rose, persian yellow, silver green, and colonial
blue) by hand in bands around each piece of pottery. Once fired the
bands would merge together slightly causing a "dripping" effect. Three different
styles were made. They are regular "Multicolor" which used four glazes (rose,
persian yellow, silver green and colonial blue), "Multicolor Light" which
used three glazes (rose, persian yellow, and silver green), and "Multicolor
Dark" which also used three glazes (blue, persian yellow, and silver green).
This pattern was replaced in 1931 with the introduction of Sunburst ("Rainbow")
another multicolor glaze that is quite similiar. The main differences between
the two is that for Sunburst the rose glaze was replaced by tangerine and
instead of hand painting the bands of color, the pieces were typically dipped.
These changes were probably made by Stangl in an effort to reduce time
and cost. Overall Multicolor is very hard to find. It was made for only three
years and very little was bought each year due to an extremly high selling
price.
