Slip dots decoration

The potters of Giroussens in particular used this decoration, but it was popular in the 18th-century throughout the Toulousain area. White slip was squeezed through a perforated bag, called a corne (eng. "horn") to draw small circles of decorative dots inside the dish. Once covered with lead glaze, these circles of dots appeared yellowish on a reddish and more or less dark background. In North America, such plates were found in the Machault wreck.
