A greyhound belonging to Owen (a twelfth century Welsh prince, murdered by his brother), large, beautiful and curiously spotted with a variety of colours, received seven wounds from arrows and lances in the defence of his master, and on his part did much injury to the enemy and assassins.

It was but a small step, then, to create molds with the incised designs included, eliminating the decorator altogether. Stoneware clays vary considerably, not only in fired color but also in working properties.
