Clays of different colors were wedged together to create a variegated appearance in imitation of agate, a type of quartz.  The glazes were colorless; therefore the decorative effect is derived solely from the colors and patterns of the clay. The agateware body was used almost exclusively for small objects such as tea and coffee wares, however agateware was also used for decorative figures.
