"So talking about different color variations when your collecting copper luster I got a very f small sampling here but I like to show them to you we'll start at one end to the top of the cupboard and we'll work our way down. So you can just see a sampling of the variety of color that you can choose from when collecting copper luster. This is a pattern with a scene on it it has a dog and trees and rock and with a blue background with the copper luster that you can see plainly here a lot of times you can see on the inside of the copper color is white on the inside. It's not always that color sometimes you find it in pink and you'll see the copper luster falls right inside the pot. So this is just one variety of a copper luster picture. Here is a very common pattern of the blue that teal blue color with a copper luster over it and different designs some in leaf and flower patterns. This is another example of a picture copper luster this inside is white here we have this pale pink on the body of the pot and then you see the copper luster on the outside. This is a later picture with flower basket design on it and if you turn it around you can see theres a house pattern here a later piece of copper luster. But still another different example you can find different examples in flowerer patterns and designs around the outside heres, here you see another white pattern of copper with a design with a flowerer pattern all the way around and a little cup missing the saucer. So thats another example this is a piece of sand applied to the copper luster with a base underneath it's pink you can really see the pink luster underneath. On the inside is your pink that I was telling you theres another example of the way copper luster with a light inside color on the bottom half and copper luster on the top of the picture. Here we see again some more of the blue which is a pretty common pattern that you can find you can see there's a little variation in the copper and the pattern here is oppose to this picture here. You can see there's less of the copper pattern on top of the blue so this another 2 examples of blue pattern and here we see a small cup just in a plain copper with a white bottom. And on the inside is a full copper you can see where that was done in the glade."
