You can read an article by Liz Holm on Limerick variations in the Pour Horse Patter archives. Early pieces had a dark tail tip, then pieces with a lighter tail tip were introduced and last, Joan started adding darker shading on the backs for extra contrast and richness. A few early production pieces were produced in grey before main production of the chestnut started. You may see an example in the limited run section of previous wares.
