All plates pictured are made with the same glaze color. These subtle color differences are acceptable. The slight variance in form between each plate is also acceptable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57d251cd20099eb50e2ed900/1624404841225-2C5U9KOBD2XOW5OPQT6N/_A5A4777-2.jpg Quality & Consistency - Drip marks are acceptable on all cups. Streaks and drip marks naturally appear with Mustard, Wreath, and Ash glazes.
