The best work was made during the latter part of the last century, when a style of decoration of burnished gold in relief upon dead gold was used, which is now much prized. The work went on, with varying success and at great cost, till 1856, when it was given up.
Some of the pieces at the Bernal sale were as follows:
| A plate with green border and white stars, with flowers | £2 | 2s. | $10 50 |
| One with brown and gold border, with flowers | 1 | 1s. | 5 00 |
| A plate with lilac border, and friezes, from gems in Indian-ink | 37 | 16s. | 189 00 |
| A cup and saucer, beautifully painted, with Venus and Cupid, after Sir Joshua Reynolds | 8 | 15s. | 44 00 |
The teapot and cup and saucer in Fig. 131 are Vienna work, and are excellent examples both of paste and coloring.
The three lower pieces in Fig. 131 are Hungarian; the bowl and sugar-bowl are highly colored, and are very Oriental in both color and decoration. The plate with fish is a direct imitation of the Chinese.
