- Mazarin Blue - Mazarin blue, also known as bleu de Mazarin, is a shade of blue named after Cardinal Mazarin, a prominent French statesman and Catholic cardinal who lived in the 17th century. The color is a deep, rich blue with a hint of purple, and it was popular in France during the Baroque period.
- Tubelined - In tubelined decoration, a thin line of clay is piped on to the surface of the object through a nozzle to define the design outlines, then the glazes are poured into the areas of the object that are created behind the shallow "dams" formed by the tube-lined decoration.
Tubelined decoration was extensively used by Moorcroft Pottery. It was an expensive decorating technique, owing to the many possibilities of error in manufacture.
