Early pieces were smooth with glossy surfaces and often glazed white. These are the rarer of the pieces and more sought after by collectors.
Later pieces from about 1974 on, were more popular and numerous and had more of a rough glazed texture.
The colors are usually of an earthy tone with geometric shapes, influenced by Paul Klee and Constantin Brancusi.
