The shapes of vessels and their mouths changed over the centuries. An approximately 600-year span is represented here.

The designs range from none to overall, or confined to bands, frames or registers. 

Some designs are innovative. Some copy earlier styles. Some copy from other materials. Each is an artistic experiment.
