The Classic Arts and Egyptian Queen patterns are very similar. Both have a frieze of nude figures playing musical instruments. All pieces are marigold with the frieze in a green stain that imitates weathered bronze. Research by Glen and Stephen Thistlewood has determined that the patterns were made by Josef Rindskopf of Czechoslovakia. The frieze band on Classic Arts pieces is just over one inch (3 cm) deep. The shapes are an 8-inch vase with 12 panels, an open sugar 4 1/2 inches across, and a covered sugar, also 4 1/2 inches across (also marketed as a marmalade pot). The frieze band on Egyptian Queen pieces is two inches deep. There are only vases in two sizes: around 7 inches (19 cm) and around six inches (15 cm), both with 8 panels.
