To the right is an image from a vintage ad of a line offered by Montgomery Wards in the late 1950s. The line is called, “Spice” and has a mixture of Taylor Smith and Taylor shapes in Pebbleford glazes.
The ad reads:
Refreshing colors on interesting modern shapes make an exceptionally attractive table setting. Four colors in each set: Turquoise, Pink, Gray [Granite] and Yellow [Sunburst], each spiced with brown flecks. Colors always stay bright and clear because they're under the glaze.
This line could be ordered in sets for 4, 6 or 8. Individual items could be ordered from open stock.

The flat ware is, of course, Versatile, but the hollowware is a combination of Informal Versatile and Empire.
The following pieces were available in any color (from the “open stock” listing):
- Versatile Flatware:
- 10" plates
- 6" plates
- saucers
- coupe soup
- fruit cup
- small platter
- medium platter
- Informal Versatile Hollowware:
- Coffeepot
- Salt and Pepper shakers
- Empire (Lu-Ray) Hollowware:
- Creamer
- Covered (handleless) sugar
- Restyled Empire cup
The Informal Versatile hollowware and flatware are part of the standard Pebbleford line. However, the three Empire pieces were not offered with Pebbleford and are very hard to find in the speckled glazes.
